bullet  General Notes:

Times 8 Aug 1885; Births; On the 23rd ult(?) at Fairthorn, Ryde, Isle of Wight, the wife of Stephen Lewis Griffiths, of a son.

1891 Census (Age 5) living at 340 London Road, Croydon with parents and siblings.

1901 Census; living (age 15) in Hamble(?) Villa, Bridge Road, Worthing, East Sussex with mother and brother and sister.

Presumably he is the Oswald Powis Griffiths who got married in Q2 1910 in Hampstead, presumably to Frances Mary Titheradge - who is only other person on same page.
Could she be sister to the actress Margaret (Madge) Titheradge who did have a sister called Frances ??

... almost certainly she is as there is only 1 Frances Titheradge on the 1901 census.
