Trying to find Griffiths

I am seeking information on the death of my Grandfather John Griffiths, who was born on the 7th Dec'1846 at Dudley in the County of Worcester. On the 26th Oct' 1868 he married Anne Maria Baker at St Edmunds Church in Dudley and they lived at No 43 Dudley Wood, Dudley. They had four sons that I know of, Major, Harry, James, John (my Father ) and possibly a fifth, Joseph, and two Daughters, Julia, who I believe died young, she showed on the 1871 Census aged two but not on the 1881, and also Ethel Beatrice. My Grandmother, Anne Maria died aged 81 in July 1929 at the home of her daughter Ethel B, who had married Frederick Knott, and they then lived at 177 High St, Brierley Hill, where they had a high class pork butchers business and slaughter house. Despite many many visits and searches at the Family Records Centre, I have been unable to find my Grandfathers death, receiving wrong certificates due to having entered incorrect details when applying. I would very much appreciate any information that can be given
