1911 Census Lookup, Please! - Griffiths

[LisaNorthumberland]

Yes I've seen New Ollerton come up in Nottinghamshire too but I don't know of any connection to there. There is a connection to Jedburgh which made me think maybe it was Allerton and not Ollerton.

Thanks,
Lisa.

Hi,

Would anyone be able to help me trace my great grandparents please - I've hit a complete brick wall! My grandmother was called Edith Mary Griffiths, born 1909 in Amble/Alnwick/Chevington I think - she died when I was a baby and I never knew her so I'm not exactly sure where she was born. I don't know much at all about her parents. I think her mother was also called Edith Mary Griffiths (nee Mole) and she married John Henry Griffiths in Northumberland (again Amble/Alnwick) in 1904. I've been told that John may have travelled from Wales to work in the mines around Chevington. Also I've been told that Edith Mole's father ran a post office/shop in the Amble/Chevington area.

If anyone could help me look them up in the 1911 census and let me know where they lived/occupations that would be fantastic. They would be a family of four as far as I know in 1911 - John Henry, Edith Mary, their son William Henry (born around 1907) and my grandmother Edith Mary (born 1909)

Many thanks,
Lisa.

Hi. Lisa,

I wonder if you should be looking  for New Brotten, Yorkshire.
The 1901 census has a John Henry Griffiths living with his mother in Amble. His mothers name is Rebbca Kenny (she must have remarried at some time I think ). 

John's a coal hewer. born New Brotten.


An Edith Mary Griffiths birth was registerd at Morpeth 1909   volume 10b    page 409  June July August period.

Did Edith marry John A. Wright?

or

George w. Robinson.

I've just checked the death registrations for 1978 and there is this:

William Griffiths, age 71, registered in Newark!

Date of birth given as 11/10/1906

Checking birth registrations last quarter 1906 shows a William Griffiths birth registered in Morpeth.  None are coming up for 1907 or 1908

I can't see any with the middle name of Henry except for one registered in Cannock.

I wonder if Lisa has checked 1911?

Using the free index, there is a John W aged 4 yrs with an Edith Mary 2 yrs. Could the brother be John William rather than William Henry?
Although I can see a birth for William Henry 

[c-side]

There is a birth of a William Henry in Morpeth - June quarter 1906 but this wouldn't tie in with the one who died in Newark.

I feel fairly sure that the one who died in Newark is the one who was buried in Chevington but that doesn't mean he's the one Lisa is looking for.

Sending for the birth certificate for Edith Mary is probably going to be the best move, Lisa

Hi  all

I don't see a suitable Edith (Mary) Mole on the 1901 (two married and one too young)  but there is an interesting one that you might consider:

2 High Street, Amble
RG13/4839/6/4

Household of Charles North

Cissy Mole, servant, single, 15, domestic servant, b. London

John and Edith did marry Sept q, 1904, Alnwick so right area.

I've not checked for her earlier of later as yet.

If Cissy = Edith and, from the 1901,  born circa 1886, London,  then:

Birth Dec q, 1885, Edmonton 3a 365

Edith Mary Mole

Hi Christine,

I think the William born in Morpeth in 1906 would be the one I'm looking for. I know for definite my granny had a brother Will so I am sure this would have been him. Many thanks for double checking that for me!

Kind regards,

Lisa.

Hi Bill,

Yes my grandmother Edith married John Alfred Wright in 1937 and my father was also John Alfred. I will have to do some searching to see if John Griffith's mother remarried, it's likely she did then if she has a different name. Many thanks for this info.

Kind regards,

Lisa.
