Hi David

One of my wife's relatives was baptised at the Griffydam Chapel, although she lived in Coleorton, where there was another chapel.

Unfortunately, I can't find any Hodges or Withams in the Griffydam records.

My wife's stepmother had an ancestor, Sarah Hodges born c1794, who married William Bird at Breedon. In the census, she gave her birth place as Griffydam, although I can't find the baptism record. The nearest was in Worthington, but in 1800.

There was a William Hodges, son of James and Frances, baptised in Coleorton in 1782. I am not sure about burials.

One of my wife's relatives married a Hannah Bird of Worthington but she was born earlier, the daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth.

I can't find anything about the burials, but I did find this:-

There is an article about an inquest following a fatality at Coleorton Colliery in the Leicester Daily Post 17 December 1910. It mentions "Thomas Witham, of Griffydam, gave similar evidence."
