    Default Thomas Griffiths 1877 Morriston/Swansea

    Hi

    I'm looking for a Thomas Griffiths, born abt 1877 in either Morriston or Swansea. I believe that in 1904-5 he lived at Bryneithyn Tce in Morriston and worked as a furnaceman at the local tinplate works. His father was David Griffiths whose occupation was a Stone Quarrier. I've no idea who was Thomas's mother. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there, as Morriston's historian I hold lots of photographs and details on Morriston.
    Bryneithyn Terrace is still standing today - between Cwmbath Road and Rock Terrace.
    If I can be of any further help - please let me know.

    With best wishes

    Default Thomas Griffiths -Neath/Pontardawe

    Hi
    I'm looking for my grandfather THOMAS GRIFFITHS who I believe may have been born in either the Neath or Pontardawe area. He was born between 1876 -1878 and his father was David Griffiths. So far all attempts to find him in the Swansea/Morriston area have has been unsuccessful. He may have been born in Neath/Pontardawe and later moved to Morriston where his father worked as a Stone Quarrier. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Terry

    Hi Terry,
    As this new query concerns the same person as your earlier query, I have merged the two threads.
