On 22 May 1809 he married Mary Ann Adams at All Saints West Bromwich. From 1814 to 1820 he was at Oxford Independent Chapel Bilston where 3 sons were baptised ( Joseph, Thomas and Apollos, I have their details. I descend from Apollos).
In 1820 to 1825 he was at Bond End (Zion) Independent Chapel Nuneaton where a further son was baptised ( William, I have details)
In 1825 he moved to Birmingham he was at Legge Street Birmingham 1825 to 1836 then at Livery Street Birmingham 1836 to 1841 when he died. In abt 1826 a further presumed son James was born ( I have no details on him).
Mary Ann and William and James appear in the 1841 census living in Knott Street St George Birmingham after that no trace of any of them.
It is alleged in the Surman Index that Joseph was the son of another Reverend Joseph Griffiths although there is no source for the allegation.
This Joseph said to be born Coventry 1757 he lost his mother at a young age and his father returned to his native Wales he was brought up by his maternal uncle in Coventry. On 5th Sep 1782 he married Jane Mansfield at St Mary Greasley and a daughter Jane, was baptised at Penn Lane Independent Melbourne Derbyshire.
The elder Joseph was minister at various locations eventually being the minister of a church at Aston Tirrold in Berkshire where he died in 1818.
I am interested in any further children he may have had also in any wills for these people or any other information.[*]
