Edward & Ellen Griffiths

[Greenbentley]

Can anyone please help find  Edward  &  Ellen Griffiths (formerly Bromilow) after 1871
Edward Griffiths was born in Hope Flintshire in 1836 his parents were Edward & Mary Griffiths, Edward married Ellen Bromilow on 19 June 1867 in The Parish Church  Deane  Lancashire, Ellen’s father ‘s name was Joseph Bromilow and Ellen was born about 1848  in Lostock, Lancashire,
I have them on census up to 1871 then can’t find them on any others, they had a daughter I know about and have her birth certificate, on the 1881 census Daughter Ellen Griffiths is with her fathers sister as adopted daughter .

So I am wondering what happen to Edward & Ellen Griffiths I can’t find a death for them or any other census after 1871.
I would appreciate any help with this couple please , I have not been doing my family history for a while so I am a bit rusty.

The 1871 gives Edwards birthyear as 1839/40 - he is 31

they had a daughter I know about and have her birth certificate,

What was the daughters name and birthyear/birthplace?  In 1881, is she in England or Wales

[groom]

His marriage gives 1839 as well. I can't see them in 1881, but can't see any deaths either.

I suspect Ellen died in childbirth or shortly after.  Looking back at previous posts daughter Ellen was born in June Qtr 1875 in Barrow in Furness.  There is a death registered for an Ellen Griffiths in the same quarter aged 26 Ulverston Volume 8e page 523.  If you go to www.cumbriabmd.org.uk you will see that both events took place in the sub district of Dalton.

Haven`t found Edward though

Could just be that he couldn't cope with a baby and so relatives took her in as their own. He may well have moved and remarried by 1881.

In the Manchester Times dated 25th February, 1898 under "Missing Friends"

GRIFFITHS - Edward Griffiths, when last heard of was living in Barrow in Furness.  The inquirer is his niece Ellen Griffiths.

I saw that Ellen said her father was deceased when she married so perhaps none of the family knew where he went to.

That's interesting as Ellen Griffiths was actually his daughter and not his niece wasn't she? I wonder if he emigrated? Whatever happened, it doesn't sound as if he kept in touch with either his daughter or family.
