  • Thoughts on previous wife

    Hello everyone

    My GGG Grandfather John Griffiths married Jane Fletcher in 1883 in Warrington.

    On the 1891 census John and Jane are living Stockport with their kids.

    Class: RG12; Piece: 2799; Folio 123; Page 29

    Now the two eldest kids were born circa 1880 and 1882.

    Can anybody try and help me locate John with his previous wife? I assume she probably passed away.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    It might prove difficult because the surnames aren't unusual. Have you found John on 1881?

    The children could be John's and a first wife. Alternatively they could be Jane Fletcher's from a previous relationship or they could be John and Jane's born before they got married. I would think your best bet would be to try to find a birth for one of those children (preferably the first one so you can match it to the 1881 census). If you can get the cert you'll know who the mother is and can take it from there.

      Hey Jackie

      I reckon the birth cert would be the best solution.

      I havent found him on the 1881 as yet.

                Hey Merry

                That does look like John except that by 1881 he should have a daughter named Sarah Jane Griffiths who was born a year earlier in Dudley/Badley Staffordshire.

                    I've posted up what I think may be the birth reg for Sarah and her sister, mary.

                    I can't find Sarah in 1881 yet.

                      Thankyou Merry

                      Now atleast i can go about ordering the certs to confirm.
