There are 2 other Griffin sons born Birmingham with mother's maiden name Bicknell but I don't think I should post them as they could still be living.

Actually is Kenneth still living? If so I will remove his birth registration.

So if Kenneth is still living I should not have posted his birth. I will delete it. To see the names of siblings go to FreeBMD here:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Click on "Search"
Click on "Births"
Enter surname Griffin
Enter mother's surname Bicknell
Enter Birmingham ( from 1932)
