Sarah Married a Frank Millward a watch key maker and in 1930 they went to live in the Evesham area. They may have been connected to Frederick Stokes of Third Avenue Bordesley Green.

Griffiths Herbert Cherrywood Road
- Thread starter jhunter
- Start date
Hi I am related to the Griffiths family of Cherrywood Road but not as early as that but shown on 1939 register, Is there a connecction ? I do not have much information beyond grandparents being an Alfred ( a regular soldier) and Harriet (nee Harris) Griffiths. I believe several of their children lived in Cherrywood Road. Any information would be great. Thank you

It looks like jhunter hasn't been on the site for some years.
There are a pair of brothers Herbert and Alfred Griffiths from the area but I'm note sure if this is the Herbert they were referring to or if the Alfred is your Alfred. There is a discrepancy with his age in 1881 and 1921 and there are other Alfreds it could be.
Alfred and Harriet are living on Cherrywood Road in 1921 and Harriet is still there in 1939 at no. 30.

It appears that your Alfred Griffiths and jhunter's Herbert Griffiths were not brothers (which I tentatively suggested) but cousins. Alfred's father Edward and Herbert's father Herbert appear to be brothers, the sons of a David Griffiths.
In 1881 Edward and his family were living on Cherrywood Lane which became Cherrywood Road.
And in 1861 David and his family (including Edward and Herbert) are living on Cherry Lane, which is possibly an even earlier name for Cherrywood Road.
