Hi again, the reason he wasn't on the 1911 census is that he wasn't born until Oct, and the census as you know was released in April

I have searched bmd and Ancestry for a relating birth cert, which I couldnt find, hence the reason for asking help here, I understand that Wales is vague, apologies for that,

Thank you for the possible birth record, appreciate it!;-)

The DOB is only as known to the person registering the death.......as is the birthplace.

'Wales' is a bit vague.............

Have you tried looking yourself on freebmd for a birth matching the info on the death cert?

You said earlier that his father wasn't named on his marriage cert, so you will be able to trace only his maternal line.............

Hi again all, I have a question, still waiting on birth & death certs for my Grandad Albert Henry Griffiths b 1911 d 1998, but my question is he and May had 2 daughters Nellie b 1931 & Jean b 1934 who could still be living, so can I ask for assistance to try and trace them, or is it strictly Deceased relatives we can get help with???

Kind Regards
Albert

Yes I agree, it looks like a dead end, I'm almost sure he was born in 1909

As I said earlier in this thread, I obtained The Marriage Cert for Albert Henry Griffiths & May Walsh, but not sure if that is the correct DOD, I'll have to look into it Thank You

I wonder if Albert stretched the truth when he married? Is this his death please?

Name: Albert Henry Griffiths
Birth Date: 5 Oct 1911
Death Registration Month/Year: Mar 1998
Age at death (estimated): 86
Registration district: North Tyneside
Inferred County: Tyne and Wear
Register number: A22C
District and Subdistrict: 0541A
Entry Number: 179


EDIT

I don't see a birth to tie in with that death so perhaps the informant gave the wrong DOB

No father's name probably implies illegitimate.

If you could give us the witnesses names, that might be useful.

Can't see him in 1911, or a likely birth record.

Copied from new thread:

Hi again all,
just wanted to update you on my progress so far, I've just received through the post, my Grandfather and Grandmothers Marriage Cert on my Dads side, and was excited to see what it would reveal, and although I got my grandmothers Fathers name, unfortunately, my Grandfathers Fathers name wasn't there so I've hit a road block in tracing the Griffiths name any further back (temporarily I'm sure) I tried searching census records for him as he was born in 1909 with no luck, so I was wondering if I gave all the info off the Marriage cert, could you people do a bit digging for me please, my Guardian Angels :-).
The marriage was between Albert Henry Griffiths age 22 & May Walsh age 18, it was performed on 17th April 1931 at the registry office of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Albert's profession at the time was Groom (Domestic) and May was a Spinster, the address for both of them was 56 Commercial Road, Newcastle. May Walsh's Father was named John Edward Walsh (Deceased)
Any help you can give will be as always greatly received and appreciated,

Kindest Regards Everyone

Albert

Edit:
as for the witnesses, there were 3 in total, Walter Anderson, Mildred Wright, and Annie Walsh, none of whom are familiar to me, but the third is obviously related to my Grandmother (her Mother hopefully)

Hi again all,

I recently traced my father who had been estranged from the family for many years, I obtained his Birth Certificate which gave me my Grandfathers name, His name was Albert Henry Griffiths, and I got his home address too, but the thing I found most interesting was that he lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne,and he worked as a Butler....and I was wondering if there was any way I could trace where he worked, I'm assuming that in those days it must have been a stately home, or a very well to do family, the year on the cert is 1937.... So just wondering if there are any clues or advice you can give me to get me started,

Best Regards

Albert

Marilyn, that is not what I asked.

I think it's "territorial" to post in a thread that one has sent someone information without saying what kind of information it is. I think it's rude to other members who have been trying to help a poster, or who might read the post the next hour and not know what has already been provided.

I think it's perfectly easy to say "I have sent information about a possible child of the marriage", or "I have sent contact info for a possible child" -- or whatever it is -- in the thread.

And I can't think of any reason why not to.
