Henry Griffiths & Mary Ann Rowberry

[Kessy1]

Can anyone help me progress a bit further please. I am researching Henry Griffiths born 1813 Wigland, Cheshire. His father was John Griffiths but I have no further info on John or his wife or other children. Henry Griffiths married Mary Ann Rowberry on 23 July 1844 in Tedstone Delamere, Herefordshire. They had two children that I can find! John and William born in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. Mary's father was Richard Rowberry, again I cannot seem to find a spouse for Richard. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi Kessy

I have been researching the ROWBERRY family for 35 years now, and I can help you with Mary Ann ROWBERRY.  However her husband Henry was a Tailor born in Tenbury, Worcestershire and they lived in Bromyard all their lives, carrying on this trade, so I don't think they are the ones that you are seeking.

If you would like more details then please contact me at polly at rowberry dot org.
Kind regards
Polly

Further to my last message, have you got the birth certificate of one of the children you mentioned having found?  This would give you the maiden name of the mother, and so help you to find the marriage of the correct couple (just input the two names into the Search at FreeBMD) which should allow you to progress further back.

If you have the birth certificate and it does say "ROWBERRY" there were some up in the Manchester/Wigan/Stockport area, so it might be one of those - and then perhaps I can help you.

Dear CaroleW and PollyR,

Thank you for your help, I will check out the facts once again to see that I have the correct people. Thanks once again.

Hi Kessy

But yes you have "found" the marriage of the wrong couple though....getting a birth certificate for one of their children should enable you to find the *correct* couple...

One of the Golden rules of FH is to work backwards ONE step at a time...:-)

According to FreeBMD there are 14 marriages of a Henry GRIFFITHS to a Mary between 1st July 1837 and the December quarter of 1850.  And that doesn't take into account any variations in the spelling of his surname, such as GRIFFISS, etc.

Hi,

Just to add the only Henry I could see who was born in Wigland (Malpas bt.) around that time was to a James & Elizabeth 23 july 1815.
