Marriage of John Griffiths and Elizabeth Hughes in December 1852:
Marriage: 23 Dec 1852 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England
John Griffiths - (X), 33 Collier Bachelor of Scholes
Elizabeth Lloyd - (X), 36 Widow of Scholes
Groom's Father: William Griffiths, Deceased
Bride's Father: Hugh Hughes, Deceased
Witness: Joseph Turner; Charles Carter
Register: Marriages 1851 - 1853, Page 227, Entry 453
Source: LDS Film 1885696

Probably John Lloyd was born shortly before. I have to date only found the birth registration and not the baptism:

Name: John Lloyd
Registration Year: 1852
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district: Wigan
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: 56

Mary, on the other hand, was christened at All Saints, Wigan:

Baptism: 28 Apr 1856 All Saints, Wigan, Lancs.
Mary Catterall Griffiths - [Child] of John Griffiths & Elizabeth
Born: 30 Mar 1856
Abode: Ince
Occupation: Collier
Baptised by: W T Whitehead Curate
Register: Baptisms 1854 - 1857, Page 254, Entry 2029
Source: Original register at Wigan Archives


Perhaps Elizabeth Griffiths was living with someone called Benjamin between 1859 and 1865 and he was put down in the register as the father of Mary Catherine/Catterall Griffiths. I can't find any evidence that Elizabeth married again.
