Where does the name Anslow come from. Wales??
I am trying to find out about the Welsh Anslows - or for that matter where the name Anslow comes from originally. My Great great-grand father (my mother’s father’s father) was Griffith Jones Anslow who married Florence Cooke in 1849 in Birmingham. By the 1880s they had settled in the then new town of Wavertree (absorbed into Liverpool in 1895) where he worked as a green grocer. His wife, having produced three sons, died on April 24 1889, and three years later he too passed away. The boys, now orphans, were raised in Liverpool, by whom I don’t know.The eldest, Tertius Griffith Anslow died in 1933 without issue and without leaving Liverpool. The middle child, Henry Douglas Anslow, went to Birmingham where I think he started both a family and an engineering firm. The youngest boy was my grandfather, and he was cursed with what the Chinese call an ‘interesting life’ in that his years covered a career as a professional ice skater, the trenches of WW I , the Egyptian Troubles of early 20s and Stanley Camp, as a guest of the Japanese.
So, where did Griffith Jones Anslow come from??
