To find relatives of Thomas J Griffiths, you'll need firstly to establish when he was born, and who his father was..........that info will be on the cert of his marriage to Janet.

He may have been married before.......again, that info should be recorded on the cert. It would be under the 'status' column

He didn't die in Southend on Sea registration district

Gloria,

If you purchase the marriage certificate for Janet and Thomas , this will give you Thomas' father's name.

Do you think it could be that Leslie took the name Griffiths?

HI Flick thank you for all your research there are questions i cant answer as I dont think my dad Norman knew he had a half brother. his father was AlbertSharplesJanets first husband my grandmother. she left when my father as about 3 years old so i never knew her that would have been around 1926. she had Leslie in 1932 father on birth certificate Henry. my dad had an uncle Henry/she then married Thomas Griffiths in 1943. Albert died in 1941. janet dies in southend in 1974. thanks for your help Gloria.
