However Oswald's wife COULD I suppose be someone different, but seems unlikely.

COULD she be the Frances A M Griffiths born circa 1881 who died in Ludlow in 1921?

1911 Cenus; Living (age 26) as a visitor at the home of Isabel Ann Brenchley (Widow, 70, Surrey) at 115 Camberwell Grove, Camberwell, London with her husband Oswald Powis Griffiths. Shown as Francis Mary Griffiths, 26, married 1 year, Melbourne, Aus. Also in the house are 2 servants and a Mary Brenchley (54, Brighton) step dau of Isabel.

1917; According to Ann's (curtailed) biog "I was christened at St.Peter's Church, Bexhill. Great Auntie Ina (qv) was at that time living in Bexhill - at the Little House in Jameson Road. So she and Dulce Watson (qv) attended the christening. My maternal grandmother, Mrs. Agnes Louisa Wright was there, and her daughter, Kate. My mother's brother, Cyril, was there and his wife, Gladys, and YANIE, his brother Oswald's wife, who was my Godmother (as was Auntie Kate). My father must have returned to Malaya on his own, probably because my mother and I would not be allowed to sail out during the war."
