Looking at the censuses there is an Ernest Edward Griggs born 1891 who was living in Thanet in 1911 - can't give any more details as I don't have units ( and look ups not allowed anyway, but you could get units to check) In 1901 he is living with parents in Minster 1901 England Census about Ernest E Griggs Name: Ernest E Griggs Age: 11 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1890 Relation: Son Father's name: William Griggs Mother's name: Ann P Griggs Gender: Male Where born: Stourmouth, Kent, England Civil parish: Minster Ecclesiastical parish: Minster St Mary Town: Minster County/Island: Kent Country: England Street Address: 3 Chapman's Row Registration district: Thanet Sub-registration district: Minster ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Household schedule number: 100 Piece: 819 Folio: 12 Page Number: 15 Household Members: Name Age William Griggs 58 Ag. lab. born Woodnesboro' Kent Ann P Griggs 40 Katherine M Griggs 19 Fanny L Griggs 14 Ernest E Griggs 11 Edith A Griggs 4 Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 819; Folio: 12; Page: 15.
