I've had a query from New Zealand about Alfred Sercombe GRIFFIN who wrote two books with a Scouting theme. In 1917 he was living at 51 Upper Church Road, Weston and later moved to Winscombe where he died in 1943. The question being asked is "Was he involved in Scouting in Weston when he lived here?". He was born in Bath in 1878 and was a Chemist. He was married in Bath in 1912 and had two children who were born in Weston in 1914 and 1917. The enquirer, who is writing a book about 100 years of British Boy Scout Fictional Literature, would like to include a photograph of (Alfred) Sercombe GRIFFIN. Can anyone help with this or with a source for Scouting History of Weston-super-Mare? |
