Chris
thank you so much
that looks promising as I am led to believe John Griffiths was born in llanerchmedd Anglesey
and his date of birth is 1851
how do you find all this out
I looked on free bmd and could not get back further than about 1837ish
once again many thanks for the information and your time

freebmd is a transcription of BMD records taken from the GRO index

The GRO came into being in July 1837

Before that date, there was no civil registration............only parish records.

Something else you must take into account.............

............until 1875, there were no penalties for not registering births.....hence, many births were simply not recorded.
