'The Late Mr Griffin' is mentioned by Stephens (1828) as the captor of various beetles eg. vol.1, pp. 83,161. Both these captures were made near Norwich. Possibly related to R. GRIFFIN, see below. (MD 1/03)

One of four sons of George Leopold Jacob Griesbach, a music teacher of Windsor, all of whom were Coleopterists. (See J.H.GRIESBACH). (MD 1/03)

Most of my information about Griesbach and other members of the family (see above and below) is taken from MacKechnie-Jarvis (1976) who illustrates a family tree showing how the Griesbachs were related by marriage to the Waterhouse and Rye families. (Elizabeth Ann Griesbach, sister of the four sons of George Leopold Jacob Griesbach, married George Robert Waterhouse, the Coleopterist and Keeper of Minerals at the NHM). John Henry, a 'Cellist and Composer of Windsor' was also a Coleopterist.

One of four sons of George Leopold Jacob Griesbach, a music teacher of Windsor, all of whom were Coleopterists. (See J.H.GRIESBACH). He was a Member of the Entomological Society. (MD 1/03)

In Ent.Ann., 1856, 86, E.W.Janson, mentions that J. Curtis had obtained his specimens of Ampedus subcarinatus Germ. 'from the collection of the late Mr C. Griesbach, who captured them near Windsor'. MacKechnie-Jarvis (19) does not mention a C. Griesbach. (MD 1/03)

A Reverend who lived at Wollaston, near Wellingborough, Northants. One of four sons of George Leopold Jacob Griesbach, a music teacher of Windsor, all of whom were Coleopterists. (See J.H. GRIESBACH). He was a member of the Entomological Society and appears to be the only one of the family to have published. Two notes appeared under his name: 'On the existence of natural genera', Ent.Mag., 1, 1833, pp.296-301, and 'Note on the economy of Gyrinus villosus', ibid., 4, 1837, p.254. MacKechnie-Jarvis (19 ) states that 'The Rev.

Anne Jarvis (a descendant. Famrj2@cam.ac.uk) and Angie Bish (angie@bish4233.freeserve.co.uk) have both been doing extensive work on the Griesbach family and have much information to add to the entries below. (MD 10/03)

Listed by Johnson and Halbert (1901) p.542 as a collector of Irish Coleoptera. Specific references also appear in the text. He is not mentioned in Ryan, et al.(1984). (MD 1/03)

A Captain. Gave more than 300 insects including Coleoptera to the NHM on 16 December 1840. This is possibly the same Grey who gave a further 32 Coleoptera from the Caucasus, St. Petersburgh and Siberia in 1847 (1847/20). See also J. GUTCH. (MD 1/03)
