    Notes:

    From Diane Duggan:

    The story goes that my grandfather was baptised John Walter Norbary GRIFFIN by Lizzie. However, when my grandfather went to get married, they couldn't find his birth registration. Jack was informed there was definitely no record of a John Walter Norbary GRIFFIN, however there was a record a Michael Norbary GRIFFIN born to Elizabeth NORBARY and Michael GRIFFIN! It appears out great grandfather Mick disregarded Lizzie's instructions and decided to register his only son after himself! He didn't tell anyone and we'll never know if a few celebratory drinks were involved or not. Apparently this discovery created a huge ruckus and a hilarious dash to the courthouse by Jack's sisters to check out what their father had registered them??? My Dad reckoned it was lucky Mick was already dead...or Granny Griffin (Lizzie) would have killed him!!!!

    Christened:
