Hi all!

I seem to be hitting brick wall after brick wall with my Griffiths family research.

I'm looking for the children of Edward b abt 1824 and Elizabeth b 1829. Elizabeth was born in Rowely Regis and that was where the family also settled. I have them there in 1871, but don't seem to be able to find anything after that.

Children are..

Benjamin b 1847

Ellen b 1849

Sarah b 1851

Thomas b 1853

Edward b 1856

George b 1858

Ann Sohpia b 1860 ( I have the info on her as she emmigrated to Australia)

Eliza b 1862

Elizabeth b 1866

Robert b 1858

John b 1871

Clara b 1874

What I'm trying to find is marriages, children etc.... yet don't seem to be able to find anything. Thought the boys would be the easiest, but there doens't seem to be anything on them.

All the children were born in Rowely Regis.
