  • Notes 
    • Do not add parents without solid evidence.
      There has been so much speculation about the parents of Walter Griffin. All that is known is that his grandson suggested that his name was Walter Griffin, and his wife Dorothy. We can prove a marriage between Walter Griffin and Dorothy Baylis (and Dorothy is an unusual enough name that this is likely correct), and we can prove when the Walter who married Dorothy died, but we can't prove WHICH Walter Griffin married Dorothy. There are multiple Walter Griffins born at the correct time in the correct area, and any one of them could have been the one who married Dorothy. Until someone finds a solid piece of evidence to verify who the correct father is, do not add guesses and speculations to this pedigree because it causes patrons to perform incorrect merges and merge all the separate Walter Griffins into a single Walter Griffin--which is definitely not the case.

      These various opinions are found in online pedigrees, and each one is a logical possibility, but there are currently no sources that uniquely identify which of these Walters married Dorothy. Possible parents are Ann Clent/Thomas Griffin; Catherine/Richard Griffin; Elizabeth/Walter Griffin; Elizabeth/Thomas Griffin; Mary/Walter; and there are other possibilities.

      Possible duplicates of this record are Walter Griffin 99JP-763 and Walter Griffin KHQZ-3MP, and Walter Griffin GF3F-K33, and 9K6T-VVL but it is impossible to say which one could be correct, so merges cannot be made at this time.

      The Walter Griffin born in 1728 in Shrawley is of interest because this record GF3F-K33 places him closer in age to Dorothy Baylis.

      99JP-763 is also a possibility because 99JP-763 is a Walter Griffin who is the son of a Walter and Elizabeth Griffin, and note that this Walter named his first daughter Elizabeth.

      What is known is that this Walter Griffin was born in England. Walter Griffin married Dorothy Baylis. The Kyre Wyard Parish records show they married on 28 April 1757 in Kyre Wyard, Worcestershire, England. They were the parents of William (1758), Elizabeth (1761), John (1764), and Thomas (1769). Walter Griffin served as Church Warden in 1768 and 1769 at Kyre Wyard. Walter Griffin died on 1 December 1796 in Tibberton, Worcestershire, England. He left a last will and testament which was probated 23 February 1799 at St. Martins, Worcestershire, England. Walter Griffin was buried in the Tibberton Parish, Worcestershire, England, on 11 December 1796.

      Do not link Walter Griffin to Dorothy Baylis without solid evidence.

      There is a Walter Griffin who married a woman named Dorothy Bayliss and was the father of John Griffin whose son William joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has a large posterity in the United States. Unfortunately there are multiple men named Walter Griffin who were born around the same time in the same area, and any one of them could be the Walter Griffin who married Dorothy Baylis. Do not link or merge this record into the spouse of Dorothy Baylis without providing solid evidence that this is in fact the Walter who married Dorothy and solid evidence that none of the other Walters could have been the men who married Dorothy.

      Walter's parents
      I have spent much time(many months) studying this family. I feel drawn to Walter and his parents. After much prayer and through inspiration, I believe this Walter's parents are Thomas and Ann Griffin. I have felt them and their ancestors beyond the veil, reaching out and asking for their work to be done.
