    • Birth record: Agnes Loretta
      Census 1910: Agnes L
      Obituary of mother: Mrs Hudson L Richards
      Doreen Duncan Longtin: Agnes Loretta
    • WONDERFUL, my Griffins are about my only stone wall!!!!!
      My Grandfather George Burley/Burleigh b. 1877, married Elizabeth M. Griffin, her parents were John Griffin and Catherine Golden.
      Although, I have information that they were both born in Ansonia, Ct., it is so strange to me that I found their marriage register and it took place in Manhattan, NY, Oct 28, 1902??
      Also, I will share the attached with you. I clipped it out of the newspaper in 1988, because he looks just like my father. Of course, this could be a coincidence.
      Dr. John H. Griffin is attached, he was born in Mass.
      Let me know if you have anything, thank you very very much.
