    Default Griffins of Chipping Campden

    I am researching the children of John Griffin (born 1765 in Broad Campden) and Ann Leadbetter (or Leadbeater).
    There is a Gloucestershire Church of England baptism record in Chipping Campden on 23rd June 1811 for Elizabeth and William Griffin to parents John and Ann Griffin. There are two question marks as the mother Ann would be about 46 and the two children both have birthdates in 1811 which is impossible (22nd February and 12th April).
    Are there two John and Ann Griffins or are the birth dates wrong?
    There is also an 1841 census showing Ann, John and William living in Broad Camden (hamlet), an 1851 census record from Chipping Camden showing an 87 year old John Griffin (pauper and widow) living with a 38 year old son William. I can't find anything about an Elizabeth.
    Does anyone have any other info about this family?
    Thank you

    This is the 1841 census for those wishing to help

    Hamlet of Broad Chipping Campden
    John Griffin 75
    Ann Griffin 70
    William Griffin 25
    Richard Griffin 15 (on the next page)
    All born in county. The ages have been rounded down to the nearest five. No relationships given in 1841 census so not known what relationship William and Richard are to John and Ann.

    There is a burial record in the parish register of Chipping Campden for an Elizth GRIFFIN aged 2 of this parish on 30 May 1812 - could this be your Elizabeth daughter of John & Ann?? Perhaps her date of birth should have read 22 February 1810 which would make much more sense.

    Double Christening I take it these are the 2 you have already

    Double Christenings could be Twins but then could also be just that there was no Vicar to do the job
