      !BIRTH: GS #435248 Gt. Kyre Par. Worcs., Engl. !MARRIAGE: GS #464212, 1841 Census Worcs., Flyford, Engl. for son William !DEATH: Certified copy of Death for William !BAPTISM: GS #177838 Logan Temple Bapt. for Dead p.151 !ENDOWMENT: Logan Temple Endowments for the Dead GS #177957 A life history for John's son William listed a daughter Dorothy instead of Elizabeth. John and Fanny Griffin owned 82 acres of farm land in Flyford Flavel, England. Flyford Flavel is a small parish in the center of Wocestershire.

      Evidence that John Griffin is the son of Walter and Dorothy Baylis Griffin
      The 1851 census shows a widowed Theophania Barnes Griffin as the head of household in Flyford Flavell. Relationships to head of household are given on the census record, and in the same household as Theophania is her brother-in-law Thomas Griffin. The 1841 census also shows Thomas Griffin living in the household of John and Theophania Griffin. The Thomas Griffin who is living in the household is the right age to be the Thomas Baylis Griffin who died and was buried in Flyford Flavell in 1858. There are no other Thomas Griffins on the census records who could be this Thomas Bayliss Griffin. The parish birth records for Kyre Wyard show that Thomas Bayliss Griffin was baptized 30 November 1769 as the son of Walter and Dorothy Bayliss Griffin. The Kyre Wyard Parish records also list a baptismal record for William Griffin, Elizabeth Griffin, and John Griffin (as well as for Thomas Bayliss Griffin). The last will and testament of Walter Griffin was probated in 1799 and states that he is the father of William, Elizabeth, John, and Thomas Griffin. John Griffin also named one of his sons Walter. This evidence suggests that John Griffin was the son of Walter and Dorothy Bayliss Griffin.
