There appears to be some confusion about your grandfather's association with "Young Griffo." Albert Griffiths was born in Australia in 1871, 15 years before your grandfather was born. The following link gives some information about an important film clip featuring Young Griffo and Battling Charles Barnett. It was filmed on May 4, 1895, in Madison Square Garden, and premiered on May 20.

At the time of the match, Albert Griffiths was about 24 years old, whereas your grandfather would have been only nine years old.
