Descendants of Thomas Griffith



There are many versions of this tree online and most have copied mistakes from each other. We have spent some time researching the small detail of the tree and believe that it is now reasonably accurate and reliable, except that we have reservations about Thomas at generation 1 having been the father of John at the age of 54. There is worse online, with one tree showing another son born in the United States a century later! Accept this tree from generation 2 downwards, which is supported by parish records



Harbinger on which George Griffith and his family emigrated to Australia, leaving Plymouth on 16 October 1848 and arriving in Sydney on 12 February 1849

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.
