Hi, I have a Probate copy of the will of Henry Greenwood of Robertshaw in Heptonstall dated 1748 if there is any connection


Regards

George Tillier

I really think we can assume that Alan has all info he need about the family members who are known to him and about whom he has given us info, no?

this thread is just loaded up with non-useful information


Alan do you have Henry in the 1841 census? was wife Sarah still living? if it is the census record alviegal posted, the only one that seems to relate, then no, it seems

do you know anything about her? her name? for example her place of birth would be useful to know ...

Alan do you want to use the 'edit' function in your opening post to change the year from 1776 to 1767?

otherwise things are somewhat confusing

and then people who have posted things based on that original incorrect date of birth might delete them to avoid the clutter of unrelated things in the thread ..........


do you think this might be another child of Henry and Sarah?

Thanks very much for all the replies. I didn't expect that!
I'll try and fill it more.
Born1767 or possibly 1765 in Northowram Halifax. Married I believe Sarah. Had 2 children Hannah b.1791 and Henry b. 1797.
Died in Ambler Thorn, buried 27/4/1845 according to the non-conformist records.

I am trying to find his parents. I am hoping to find his grave in Queensbury but I live in the Midlands so it's not so easy.

Henry is my 4x Gt. Grandfather.
The line goes down to my Dad, Kenneth. So from the top it's Henry, Henry, John, John, Joe then my Dad, Kenneth

Hope this helps.

Alan

Ann, the name Greenwood in Yorkshire is like the name Smith most places

it makes sense to wait for some details from Alan as requested by alviegal ... and once again random copypasta of google search results *without even providing the actual usable links* serve little purpose ...



Alan ... is 1776 in your opening post a typo for 1767? if not where does that date come from?

How do you connect back to this man? Are you descended from one of his children? There are a few Henry Greenwoods around so if you could give us some details we may be able to help a bit more.


EDIT You obviously do descend from one of his children if he is your 4x great grandfather! What more do you know about him please? Which of his children is your ancestor?

Is this the correct person? Your year of birth is a bit out if so.
