  • Birth*: Frederick Griffith Griffiths was born on 19 January 1913 at Steyning, Sussex, EnglandB.1,2

  • Name Variation: Frederick Griffith Griffiths was also known as Griff.
  • Anecdote*: Frederick was ordained a Church of England clergyman in September 1936 at Rochester Cathedral, Kent.
  • Marriage*: Frederick Griffith Griffiths married Ernestine Mary Collard-Scruby on 11 September 1943 at St John the Baptist, Southend, Lewisham, London, England.3
  • Anecdote: Emigrated to Western Australia in October 1954. Daughter Moir had rheumatic fever and it was thought that going to a warm country was a remedial thing to do at the time. Sailed from Tilbury on P&O’s “Oronsay” and arrived in Fremantle. Stayed at the Archbishop of Perth’s place in Perth for a week or two and then went up to Merredin whereFrederick was Rector at All Saints, Merredin. Unfortunately the heat was too much for wife Mary. She could not sweat properly so after about eighteen months they had to come home again on “Strathaird”. It was a wonderful adventure for the children though.
  • Anecdote: Frederick appears in the 1977 Crockford's Clerical Directory. Note that AKC means that he was a Licentiate of King's College, London (London University Theology Dept).
