Hi Pauline,

Thomas GRIFFITHS married Sarah REES from Llangeler - so presumably the
marriage took place there. 1840 sounds about right. It certainly would be
useful to find the marriage then I can find his parents! It's not on the
IGI and I suspect it was a registry office as opposed to a religious
marriage ceremony. That would be about par for my Griffiths family!

Many thanks

Ray
