Name John Samuel GRIGGS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 24 Dec 1837 Falmouth, Cornwall, England 
- Although birth registration had started in July 1837, John's appears not to have been registered.
Censuses vary in what is given as John's birthplace - some show Falmouth, others Truro. It can be hard to know who gave the information - maybe his wife mis-understood? However, the 1911, when John was a widower and might have been expected to provide the information shows Truro, whilst the 1851 census, where one of his parents would surely have provided the information and have known better than John himself shows Falmouth. He was baptised in Falmouth and at that time the family's residence was given as Falmouth but had they moved in the previous 3 months? John's father was a seamen, and many lived in Falmouth, but the river is navigable up to Truro so the family may have been there.
