>From the index listings for Lackawanna Co. Marriages (Vol. 1), there are the only listings for that surname and those christian names, so they most likely belong to your family. Only an actual inspection of the marriage affadavits would give the parents names, and I will attempt to do those lookups on my next trip to the PA State Archive. #13471, vol. 39, pg. 171 Griffiths, Hugh to Williams Rhoda, duplicate returned 2 Oct 1895 #11765, vol. 35, pg. 65 Griffith, Laura to Bennie, Frank , duplcate returned 22 Jun 1894 # 1840, yr. 1907, vol. 83, pg. 18 Griffiths, Evan to Davis, Bessie, duplicate returned 31 Oct 1907 (no parents names would be available from 1905-1913) As to the others, more information would be needed to isolate the proper one: Griffiths, John 16 listed, 8 after 1900, of which we can only eliminate three (wrong initials) Griffiths, Richard J. 4 listed Griffiths, William 19 listed Griffiths, Catharine 5 listed Griffiths, Mary 19 listed Hope that it will help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Bradley" <jordancummingssearch@yahoo.com> To: <palackaw@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [PALACKAW] Griffiths Family : Hi Ella -- : : I have no association with this family, but I had a few minutes and thought I would do a lookup to see if I can add any info. : : 1880 United States Federal Census > Pennsylvania > Lackawanna > Scanton > District 73 : ED 13 page 5 : John Griffiths 41 born Wales : Laura Griffiths 33 born Wales : Hugh Griffiths 10 born Wales : Kate A.
