Individual Details
William J GRIFFITHS
(1 Feb 1866 - Mar 1947)
Died in Jan 1947 informed by Mary Squire. Daughter Elizabeth died young. I can only find a child in March 1911 who would fit this description. But Elizabeth's name is on the 1911 census which was filled in on the night of 2nd April. Census shows 10 children but 2 are deceased.
