    Notes:

    DWT says George Nathan Griffith was unmarried. The dates given by DWT coincide with the gravestone saying died 1942 age 65. Being unmarried would make sense that he would be married with his parents. However the gravestone says George M., not George N. I think the gravestone is incorrect.

    something's wrong: he was born 18 months after his mother died; stone specifically says he was a son of B&H Skuse
    DWT under Skuse gives his dates as 1869-1871; this makes more sense.
