I have Sarah Greenacre and her fathers name is given as Zeles Greenacre, he was born c1790, don't know where. I have looked on Familysearch and can't find any name beginning with Z in any country, could this be wrong (Zeles) ? I can't think of a name similar to this. Can anyone find this man please?

Thank you.

Satnav, thank you. I tried putting just Greenacre but I can't see anything similar to Zeles.

Chris, thank you. Looks like it could be him, going by the area.
These different spellings really confuse me lol.
What an unusual name.
