Update on my Griffin Family.
Hi
I wonder if someone with access to Canadian records can help me find CHARLES GRIFFIN. BORN CANADA 1870.

I haven't got much to go on and I can only assume his parents names. He was in Kings Norton, Worcestershire, England in 1891 with his uncle William Griffin . On the record it shows his place of birth as Canada British Subject. He occupation was blacksmith. I don't know when he arrived in the uk or if he returned to Canada after 1891.

Uncle William Griffin had 2 brothers - Alexander Charles Griffin b in Wales who emigrated to Australia in 1855 with his wife Julia Livermore and their 2 children and stayed there until his death in 1905.

His other brother was George Edward Griffin b in Chatham, Kent, England in 1835 and he married Elizabeth Cotterrell in 1865 in Knowle, Warwickshire. I cant find any records for them after their marriage so maybe they emigrated to Canada and Charles is their son.

Help with this would be much appreciated

Thanks alot

Rosie

Yes thanks these are all correct from what I can see - interestingly in 1841 there is another daughter Harriet who we didnt know about and with William he has a nephew Charles Griffin who must be the son of brother George William as other brother emigrated to Australia in 1855

Thanks again

Thanks guys - will have a sort through that lot :-)

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me find Charles Griffin and family in 1841 -

Charles Griffin b 1799 Islington, London

Wife Harriet nee Hogg b 1802 Albury, Surrey

By 1841 they had 5 children - Alexander Charles 1826 b in Wales, Helen 1829 b in Windlesham, Surrey, Louisa 1831 b in Bagshott, Surrey, George Edward 1835 b in Chatham, Kent and William 1839 b Chatham, Kent.

Charles was an Excise officer and the family moved around the country I suppose wherever his job took him. I cant find any of them in 1841

. In 1851 Charles is with Harriet and 3 children in Edgbaston, Warwickshire and in 1861

In 1871 Charles is with Harriet in Knowle, Warwickshire and 1881 in Kings Norton , Worcestershire. He died in 1882

I just cant find them in 1841 - I tried Scotland and Wales but still nothing - I would be very grateful for any help - its driving me nuts!

Also if anyone can find William 1839 after 1861 that would be great.

Thanks alot

Rosie
