1851 look up for John Griffiths Please/UPDATE
« on: Monday 26 September 05 17:36 BST (UK) »
My g.grandfather John Griffiths put on all later censuses that he was born Clytha/Llanarth.

 Trying to find him in 1851 as I can't find his birth ???

 He was born 1845/6 so would be 6 or 7 in 1851.
His father was also John Griffiths.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've stuck with him for so long.

 Update.
 Just in case this helps. In 1871 John was married to Elizabeth(nee Parry) and living in Llanbaddock.  1881 married to Eleanor(nee Coombs)and living in Newbridge on Usk,  1891 & 1901 living in Llantrissent.
Shows he stayed in Monmouthshire. Need him in 1851 and 1861 to find parents.

Hello! I am new to this and seeing the dates on the post this is a bit of a long shot!
My great great grandmother was Eleanor Coombs and my great grandfather her (illegitimate) son John Harris Coombs. I know Eleanor married John Griffiths later and some basic census details but I would love to know more about her early life and why she didn't marry John's father, Alfred Hawker.
Maybe there is some info out there?

Hi.
 Great to hear from you.

Eleanor Coombs was my g.grandmother. Her daughter Mary Griffiths was my dads' mum. I know about John Harris Coombs being the son born before Eleanor married John Griffiths but I had not heard Johns' dad was a Hawker. Where did you get this information?
I have photos of John, his wife and children. My dads' two older sisters were bridesmaids at Percy Coombs wedding.
Would love to hear what happened to Johns' family and questions you may have.

Lovely to find you are still here!
Percy Coombs was my grandfather. I have various birth certificates including John Harris Coombs and his father is down as Alfred Hawker. We have various photos, I'm not sure who they all are but I think one is of Mary, looking lovely, taken in a studio in Newport. I'd love to know more about Eleanor.
