Architect, of Dublin. William A. Griffith, who, according to the 1911 census, was born in 1908 or 1909, was a son of JOHN WILLIAM GRIFFITH and his wife Hilda, née Alexander,(1) a grandson of Sir JOHN PURSER GRIFFITH and a brother of EVAN PURSER GRIFFITH . He studied architecture at Liverpool University circa 1931 and at the Architectural Association in London from 1932-1934.
