Find Ancestors

I have recently had some work done on my computer and have lost my link to the 'naughty' free Ancestry! lol I found a lost rellie on the 1881 with his surname spelt wrong. I now can't find him on the LDS site cos I can't remember how it was mispelt! Here's his info: John Thomas Greenley born 1864 in North Burton (now Burton Fleming), Yorkshire. I seem to think he was working as a farm servant - possibly in Thwing. Could some kind person take a look for me and let me know how his surname was spelt. Thanks Jeanette x

checking now is he from Thwing or have you developed a typing lisp?

Lol Zoe! Thwing is really a place, honest! I think he could have been working there - he certainly ended up living there or in a small hamlet just outside

1891, not what you asked for but while i saw it Greenley, Betsy A 28 Flamborough, Yorkshire Wife Thwing Yorkshire Greenley, John R 6 Acton, Yorkshire Son Thwing Yorkshire Greenley, John Thomas 28 North Burton, Yorkshire Head Thwing Yorkshire Greenley, Tom 2 Acton, Yorkshire Son Thwing Yorkshire Got to go to dentists, if no one else has found it, I will look when I get back Linda

Hi Karen That's not him I'm afraid. I haven't actually managed to encorporate that one into my tree yet. I do have at least a dozen other John Greenleys to make up for it though! lol Jeanette x

That's the one Linda! Acton should be Octon which is just outside Thwing. In 1881 it was some sort of permutation of Greenley though!

these are the john's I can find with keyword Thwing John Coates abt 1865 Wold Newton, Yorkshire, England Servant Thwing John Collins abt 1864 Filey, Yorkshire, England Servant Thwing John Sawdon abt 1865 Wold Newton, Yorkshire, England Boarder Thwing John Ward abt 1863 Thwing, Yorkshire, England Servant Kilham John Ward abt 1863 Lathmouth, Cambridgeshire, England Servant Thwing looking with birthplace now

There is a John Thomas Pinteny born abt 1857 would that be him? Gail.

Zoe - None of them I'm afraid. Maybe he was working somewhere else Gail - No sorry! It was definitely something like Greenley but not quite Lyla - Not him but that's quite interesting. I know there were a Greenley family at Foston so it could be a mistranscription

jeanette I give up. i'v etried every permutation I can think of and I cant fidn anything resembleing Greenley at all Z xx

Thanks Zoe - and everyone - for taking the time to look. I'm beginning to wonder if I was imagining it now! lol Jeanette x

Back from the dentist and have been playing with the name, but I give up as well A lesson to be learnt by all of us here about backing things up. Linda

Hi Rosemary Yes that's the right family in 1871 Afternoon Maureen I beginning to wonder about the chap born in Harome now. Can you see the original image? Is that what it actually says? Jeanette x

Thanks Maureen Have emailed you Jeanette x

Hi Jeanette - just emailed you on your home addy with details of a wandering Greenley I've come across - it never ceases to surprise me where they turn up lol. Jools

Thanks Jools - I just got it. Yet another one to try and fit into the grand scheme of things. Good Greenley forename and a shepherd to boot. Looks promising! lol Thanks once again. As always it is much appreciated Jeanette x

Thanks Yvonne I didn't know about the 'edit' thingy! I'll give it a go.

Yvonne No 'fraid not! You know the more I think about it, the more I think he could be the Harome one. I did have a piece of paper with it written down on the desk, but everybody uses this desk and nicks 'unimportant' pieces of paper to write messages on! lol
