The Greenhalghs of Brandlesholme were hereditary wardens of the forest of Tottington, and minor Lancashire gentry - hangers -on of the great Stanleys in the 17th century. A 19th century history of the family by Joseph Dodson Greenhalgh is very disappointing and dull, but includes an illustration of a portrait of one of the earlier Greenhalghs. The author says that there is a strong family resmblance in many of the Greenhalghs of his day, and I smiled tolerantly at this till I turned the page, saw the picture, and realised that I might have been looking at my 2xgt grandfather Richard Greenhalgh, a 19th century bleachworker, of whom I have an early photograph. A Roger Greenhalgh was warden of Sherwood Forest in the 16th century. |
