All census records have Griffith as being from Llanderfel and he was born about 1829. Llanderfel is in the Bala area. There`s only one Issac Edwards born Wrexham district that seems to match the son from 1861 aged 6. Isaac Edwards born 1856. You need to get a birth certificate if you are sure that it is the right one , to see what Margarets maiden name was, then you can hopefully trace their marriage and both Griffith and Margarets fathers names and occupations. This will help you go back one more generation.

The simplest and most reliable way is to buy the marriage certificate. It will give fathers names of the couple , and will help you with your search. I also found a Margaret Owen. As these are both Civil marriages, then they are not in parish registers and cannot be looked up for you. You have to buy these

We are always very happy to help others with their family history, which we do in our spare time, but as you can see advice given 2 years ago, after various look ups were done, wasn't acted upon and unfortunately you have ended up following the wrong line. We do understand that sometimes people have to cut down on the number of certificates etc they purchase to keep the costs of family history down but there are times when you need to buy them. Please let us know, by posting on this thread, the information found on the birth and marriage certificates when you receive them. Kind regards eluned
