I presume you have seen the maps that accompany the Griffiths and seen where Michael lived..near the old canal which is no longer there which passed through Lea.We`re about half a mile from there. Have you visited St. Michaels or been in contact with the parish office to see if they could help?I don`t know too much about St. Michaels as its not my local church.
