John Griffiths b. 1857 and his wife Rosina (Treharne) Griffths b. 1858. Does anyone know this couple - there seems to be a link with Elias and Emily Francis - both couples in Swansea.

To see if anyone is researching them, look on Search Trees.

its unlikely someone with info will pick up on this request

Thanks, have already seen the censuses but thanks for replying.

Hi Hilary,

I've recently started researching GRIFFITHS families of Burton/Neyland/Milford etc in Pembrokeshire. I don't know of the couple you ask about other than I have their 1911 census return image. I may have taken a photo of graves/memorials of John's parents and/or siblings earlier this year if this is of interest to you?
Regards Garry

Hello Garry, welcome to the boards.

As it's 18 months since there was any activity on Hilary's threads I doubt she's checking back (she only ever posted twice).

You could click on her name to send a direct message.
