I'm just  throwing out odds and ends of info now 

In 1891, James was working with David Davies in Corwen:


RG13/5247/83/9

Melin Rug Smithy, Corwen

James Morris, servant, single, 22, Blacksmith b. Tregeiriog, Denbighshire.

Tregeiriog and t Pont y Meibion are very close - between Glyn Ceiriog and Llanarmon

Just found James - he's in  Llansantffraid Glyndyfrdwy near Corwen, Merionethshire. Luckily, I still have some  Welsh.

No sign of Gruffydd (alternative spellings) on the  1911 free index.

I think I've given you as much as there is now - James born Tregeiriog/Llanarmon not Llansilin, where he lmoved at a young age.   Griffith born Corwen RD, 1916 - probably (Llansantffraid) Glyndyfrdwy

Is there anymore that you want?
