Thomas Owen Griffiths was buried at Hirnant 11 Jan 1902, aged 63

Noted on the burial record:

Parish Clerk of Llanwddyn from the year 1881 to the day of his death

.

The mention of Llanwddyn confirms the Vernwy link.

added - there are probably obituaries for him. I will look later if no one else finds any for you 

 


Would it be all possible to see if it says where he is buried? Does it have a photo ? Thank you xx

Hello! Gosh this is fun! His father was John Griffiths, his mother Jane. Thomas Owen Griffiths was my GGGrandfather, his wife was Phoebe Moralee, his daughter Phoebe Jane was my GGrandmother, her daughter Elizabeth, my grandmother. Phoebe Jane married Joseph Warburton in Liverpool in 1895, where they remained for the rest of life. My Grandmother moved south in 1924 to East Molesey Surrey where my mother was born. Which branch are you? Regards, Karen
