Greated

I know very little about how this variant came about.  The earliest entry I found was Timothy who married Ann Nay in Fleet Prison.  They had a son Joseph who married Ann.  I found his name on the will index in First Avenue.  He died in 1818 and his will was proved in 27 February 1818 in Holborn, London.  They had four children Timothy, Joseph, Ann and another son.  See chart for details 
I have followed some members of the family through census returns but loose them before too long.  There were many girls born to this branch and few of them married.  The family seemed to stay in London.
James W Greated went off to Ireland and was caught up in many of the battles, loosing some of his cattle and land and having his house burned to the ground
I have recently managed to make contact with a current member of this branch and hope to find out more.  
It is believed that The Greathed's and the Greated's were all part of the one family until two members quarrelled (usual story) one then went off and removed the H.  Initially they had all removed the second A according to a letter Grace wife of Neville Greated wrote to Dr Clive Greated in Edinburgh
Can YOU tell me more about this twig?
