My Ancestors Lived In Borth Y Gest
A Memory of Borth-y-Gest.
My Great Great Grandfather had a shipyard in Borth-y-Gest. I believe there were four shipbuilders there and he was one of these. His name was William Griffith and he lived in Glyn Terrace, Borth y Gest.
That branch of my family lived there for many years and my Grandmother - Catherine Mary Griffith was born there in 1876.
I have been to Borth-Y-Gest several times during for past few years and find it simply beautiful. I feel that I have a strong affinity there.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to go further back in my family history beyond William Griffith. If anyone out there can go further back, I would love to hear from them.

If they are the same person and we are, indeed, related by marriage, I would really love a copy of your document as it must be fascinating.
I have a photograph of William Griffith's gravestone and my cousin has done an enormous amount of research of William Griffith and his ships and has produced an article on the subject.
Look forward to hearing from you.
