Could you check the spelling please?

Griffihs or Griffiths with a T before the H?

Did/does he have a middle name? His birth might be registered on http://www.freebmd.org.uk

Thank you.

Was the address provided followed up? If so, I guess if you are still looking it must have been the wrong person.

Is the person you are looking for Ronald R Griffiths, born Prescot Lancs 1944 mmn Smeeth, and have you found your other brother?

As manx is still looking for him in the other thread on Genealogy chat I doubt that he has been found

Didn't realise there was another thread, it doens't look like she has returned to any of the posts so wonder if she can't get back to them?

Do you know Marina who has Phyllis your mother in her tree?

jax

jax Report 4 Aug 2012 08:50

Why has Kingsmill removed her post saying address and phone number sent??

Shall pm manx to return to the threads

The son of Eveline May Smeeth has a tree on Ancestry, including death of Phyllis in Q1/1947. He has logged on today, so it may be worth contacting him.

Don't think we can get any further without some feedback - Jax, has your message been opened?

If we posted the correct birth for your brother and you don't have an Ancestry sub let us know if you want someone to contact the tree owner for you.

Would have been nice to get some sort of acknowledgement on the thread or to the pm I sent

So was it the same address that was sent last year I wonder?

patchem

patchem Report 5 Aug 2012 21:26

Who can tell?
Put it down to experience?
But, yes, I do wonder which address, and which person sent the correct one and if acknowledged.
