Coralie,

I have no connection with the family.


I just like to help like so many others on here, but didn't know what you were looking for from the first message you posted.

Thank you for your help. what you say is correct. BA married MA Woodrow in Norwich Cathedral. I have marriage cert.

Stephen Greaves death
Stephn Greaves born 1820 died in 1883 dec qt Mitford Norfolk gro ref 4b 172.

So looks like Mary was pregnant with Walter Herbert Greaves 1884 june qt Mitford gro ref 4b 282 when Stephen died. Possibly why Eleanor/Ellen and Bertie were put into the workhouse..

1901 census.
Mary Greaves 1859 Gressenhall.
Walter H Greaves (unmarried son)1884 Dereham Norfolk
Mary A Greaves dau in law 1878 Hetherstell Norfolk.
Victor B Greaves grandson 11 months.
Millicent Saunders nurse child 1900 Dereham.

Possibly Bertie Albert Greaves married 1899 dec qt Norwich to Mary Ann Woodrow gro ref 4b 399.

Possible marriage Eleanor Alma Greaves 1908 dec qt Islington gro ref 1b 648. Possible spouses Eric Grimston Godwin or Leo Thomas.

Hi Coralie
I looked at the birth records for 1879 and can't see your relative's name entered there.
Where were your gg grandfather and his brother Walter born and when

Hi, have no information on Ealeanor Alma. Her eldest brother is my great great grandfather. I know she was had a younger brother Walter Herbert. I have not found her on any of the census so I do not know if she married and when she died. Are you her descendant. Any info you can help with would be appreciated. Did she have children?

what do you want to know??

daughter of Stephen & Mary Ann (nee Dawson) born Dec qtr 1879. Can anyone help please.
