Griffiths of Hopesay
« on: Sunday 18 January 09 18:25 GMT (UK) »
Listers,

I am having trouble locating the birth record of my gg-grandfather John Griffiths.  I have ordered a few from GRO, with negative results. 

At the time of the 1861 UK Census, he was about 9 months old, born in Hopesay and living in Perry Gutter, Hopesay, with his father William Griffiths and mother, Charlotte Tedstone.  William and Charlotte were married on 11 Sept 1859 in the parish of Hopesay, in the county of Salop.

Charlotte's parents were John Tedstone and Martha Tedstone and William's father's name was John.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dan
