Hi Christine
I have trawled for hours looking for the Eastwoods and Greenwoods but cannot seem to get anywhere - both very common names though.

Hi Susan
Thanks for your help but something tells me that the Rochdale Greenwoods are not them. I have found nothing to tell me they went to Lancashire .

Hello Denise,
Not sure if I have a connection to your Greenwood family but I see that, of the two witnesses you mentioned on a marriage certificate, one of then Epthraim Smith is also on a Certificate for a marriage I Have between a William Holmes(also your witness),(living in Halifax at the time) and Elizabeth Greenwood (Living in Bradford) married 1852 Bradford, Yorkshire.
Elizabeth was b abt. 1834.Father Daniel
William b abt.1826.Father William

Regards Carol

Could be worth following through as it links both surnames and Bradford.
