Notes:
Was highly speculative. But then Wendy found Peter (Jnr's) chr record; June 11 1797 GRIFFITHS Peter William the son of Peter and Margaret GRIFFITHS Born May 7, Inmates at M Allisons, Bow Lane, at Church. Inmates obviously describe tenants and Housekeeper the owner or leaseholder of a property as all the entries seem to have one or the other term. This entry is one adrift from his future wives entry !
