Philip immigrated to New Zealand, when?, and married Hannah Elizabeth Moxon on 6/8/1888 in Tokatoka New Zealand, had 8 children to Hannah then remarried on 6/2/1922 Margaret Elizabeth White, he died on 23/1/1934 in Waihi New Zealand. I have no information at all on Philip's family, siblings? other than his parents names taken from marriage certificate. Any help on this family or how they came to Canada would be much appreciated, I'm thinking the Griffin side was of Welsh/Irish descent and immigrated to Canada? probably Thomas and Mary were born in Canada?
