Descendants of Mark Griffin and Ellen HESSION. Some siblings may have left for Bacup UK(?) Anthony born 1881 and sister Ellen b 1876 are known to have emigrated to USA. Anthony in 1905 departing from Liverpool to join sister Ellen. Only know details of Anthony Griffin not others.

(These dates are LDS records) Mark was married with family at Ballykinava in 1911 census with Mark Sr. No luck tracing others but Anthony's passenger record indicates arrival in USA to Brooklyn NY from Bacup UK last residence. Previously he was in 1901 census in Ballykinava with sister Katherine. Anthony may have been working in Bacup in mill. There are Griffins (named "Anthony" - possibly related = Mark senior's brother?) in Bacup in UK census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
