Only recently I found out that Frank and Kitty weren't married until 1890. This posed a problem as there are certainly two and probably three children before that date (Charles, Wallace & Kate). On further research the census records suggest that Frank was previously married to Mary Ann Pearce (b.1858) but no more is known at this time.

Charles & Kate Lester Charley and Kate also lived in Dark Lane, Chalford after their marriage	David Griffin (b.1895. d.1916 WW1 ) Fitter. Royal Field Artillery. 58th Bde.

 

 

Descendent families of Frank & Kitty

Florence Emily Griffin					Christopher Hugo Chatteris
1891 - 1942					1860 - 1944
Married 1924 Florence (Florrie) is the daughter of Frank & Kitty Griffin Christopher's parentage is unknown at this time
Children	Birth	Bap	Place	Profession	Married	Date	Place	Death	Place
Kathleen	1919		Chalford
Patrick	1924		Chalford
Michael	1926		Chalford
Susan	1927		Chalford
Dinah	1932		Chalford

Florrie died in 1942 in Wooton Hill Hospital (later replaced by Horton Road). Nothing is know about her place of burial.
Christopher met an unfortunate end two years later in 1944. He was found drowned in the canal not far from his home.

Kathleen was born prior to the marriage and for some years was only known as Kathleen Griffin. Anecdotal evidence suggests that she didn't become a "Chatteris" until the 1930's
