Thank you all so much for taking the time and care to respond to my plea for assistance with reasearching William Greenwood and family. I am now going to sift through and evaluate but am sure that the answer I have been seeking is here.
Once more - thanks to you all

I am looking for information of his wife - Mary 1841 Barrowford Lancs? and his parents, thought to be Henry 1813 and Susannah. This Greenwood family came from Heptonstall, West Yorks. Any information would be gratefully received!
