Griffiths, James Lloyd (1863-1936)

Married 01 January 1886 in Beaver, Beaver, Utah, United States

Left Liverpool, Lancashire, England on 30 April 1866 aboard the ship John Bright.
Arrived in New York, Kings, New York, United States on 6 June 1866.

James Lloyd Griffiths and his two sisters Mary Ann Griffiths and Catherine Hannah Griffiths all married into the John J. Jones family.

Thus three siblings married three siblings:

Griffiths, John Jenkin and Eleanor Lloyd (Parents)
Griffiths, Mary Ann (1860) ? Jones, John G. (1856)
Griffiths, James Lloyd (1863) ? Jones, Sarah Ellen (1867)
Griffiths, Catherine Hannah (1873) ? Jones, Evan D. (1860)

Jones, John J. and Sarah Griffiths (Parents)
Jones, John G. (1856) ? Griffiths, Mary Ann (1860)
Jones, Sarah Ellen (1867) ? Griffiths, James Lloyd (1863)
Jones, Evan D. (1860) ? Griffiths, Catherine Hannah (1873)

The Jones children were simply following their parents' example. Yes, that's right - John J. Jones and Sarah Griffiths had married siblings as well!

Griffiths, Evan and Eleanor Jones (Parents)
Griffiths, John Evan (1833) ? Jones, Margaret (1834)
Griffiths, Sarah (1835) ? Jones, John J. (1836)

Jones, John and Margaret Thomas (Parents)
Jones, Margaret (1834) ? Griffiths, John Evan (1833)
Jones, John J. (1836) ? Griffiths, Sarah (1835)

Getting all this straight would be a wonderful activity at the next Griffiths-Jones family reunion, but then there wouldn't be any time left for potato salad!
