i am trying to find details of my great great gandmother catrin Griffith (gruffydd), she lived in a small village called Prenteg near Porthmadog Caernarvonshire in 1851 as i have some photos of her there. any help especially any connecting names would be most appreciated.

Nothing showing for Catrin.
Maybe it was Catherine.

Have you found her on any census ?
Any idea when she was born |?

I understood she was born pre 1851.

thank you all for your help, in the photo of 1851 she looks quite old so i would think she was born around 1800, i am reasonably sure that Griffiths would have been her married name, i would hope that the catherine griffiths born in 1859 might be her grand-daughter, by one of her sons as the name would be carried on? if i could have the details of that catherine griffiths my mother might have heard of her. the coincidence of her being born in Prenteg (which is a very small village) is certainly worth a closer look. again very many thanks

with all your vague info, you need to buy one of her childrens birth certs- it will tell you her maiden name at least


what census year is that Astra?

My husband descends from a Catrin/Catherine Griffiths from Prenteg going back to 1816. Tina I have sent you a private message re seeing if we have a connection.
