Hi friends,

Is there anyone who can help me sort out this brickwall? My husband is one of the Griffiths clan. His GGrandfather (Henry(1859ish & Dora Matthews) emigrated to Australia with their family, that included my husband's Grandfather as a young boy. Henry's mother was called Emma, who lived in Ledbury, Herefordshire. The problem is that on the censi that I could get of the family, start from 1861 & has her listed as a widow. Can anyone tell me if she had married or was orginally Emma Griffiths? Also prior to 1861 did she have a husband who was hardly ever home?

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Ann Griffiths (nee Sheldrake)
