Hi Janis,

That's excellent thanks. With the other children does it not list who their parents were? I know they definitely had a William, Edith Mary b.1909, Edward b.1911, Henry b.1913 d.1918, Thomas b.1916, Lizzie b.1918, Alice b.1921 and John Henry b.1924 (his father John Henry died that year just before Edith gave birth to John) The Ed Griffiths you found mentioned above owned a cafe in Amble and their father John Henry is rumoured to have drowned in Amble in 1924.

Kind regards,

Lisa.

Edward and Henry were the only ones baptised in this particular church or circuit  1893-1937 with parents William John and Edith Mary

other children baptised:

Ruth in 1914, Ada Charlton in 1921, Thomas William born 1917 and Irene born 1924 were children of Thomas and Emily

John and Sarah had children Thomas 1918 and Alfred in 1921. (lived Stobswood Ulgham)

Henry and Mary Jane had a Jane in 1922

All have the last name Griffith. All father's were miners.

If you are interested in these birth and baptisms I can give them to you.

Hi Lisa

Sorry it's taken a day to get back to you but I wasn't at all successful yesterday looking for your William and Edith.

There were not records in Chevington church so I'm wondering whether they would also have been Methodists.

Alas, the Broomhill Methodist records at Woodhorn end in 1904 and the Amble ones start in 1911.   

Any thoughts Janis on where else they could be if Methodists?

Hi Christine,

Thanks for checking that for me. It's been a while since I've been able to get on here so I've only just seen your post. I think that they were Methodists as my father and his sister (children of Edith Mary b.1909) were baptised in the Methodist church also.

Many thanks,

Lisa.

I've learned from the 'Three Villages' book that there was a very active Weslyan Methodist chapel in Radcliff.

I'll see if there are any records at Woodhorn tomorrow.
