Thomas Greathead |
Emigrated to Australia in 1869
and upon arrival soon changed his name to Thomas Napean GRAY. It is believed
that he chose the name Napean from Point Nepean being the name of one of the
entrances to Port Philip Bay which Thomas would have passed when he arrived
in Melbourne. Port Napean was a quarantine camp. His family have since
been known by the surname of GRAY |
|
Edward Harris |
In
order to benefit from the will of his
Uncle Edward
changed his surname to that
of his uncle and his mother's maiden name and became Edward Harris
GREATHED |
|
George
Huitson |
On
1900 his name was changed to Arthur BROWN but it is believed this was
not legally done. He was apparently so upset about his fathers desertion
that he called himself Arthur Brown. Brown came from his mothers maiden
name. The death certificate is written out for Arthur Brown and states
otherwise known as George Hewitson, the spelling I guess was incorrect as
not used by George his son who was the informant |
|
Alfred
Augustus Greathead |
Alfred was a vocalist and although he used the surname of MONTGOMERY
during his life his death was registered under the surname of Greathead.
In the census of 1881 and 1891 the family were enumerated as the Montgomery
family. Some of his children seem to have taken this name at different
times of their life. His son
William
changed his surname to GREATHEAD-MONTGOMERY. His son
John
changed his surname to MONTGOMERY. His son
Robert
seemed to include the name of Greathead as a forename and changed his
surname to MONTGOMERY. |

Greathead |
Theresa became Sister Bonaventure when she received her habit and
entered the Daughters of the Cross at Chelsea on 27 December 1888 |
|
Ronald
Greathead |
It
was reported in the London Gazette of 24 September 1946 that Ronald lived at
337 Hook Rise, Surbiton and he announced that he renounced and abandoned the
use and surname of Greathead and assumed the name of GRAY. It went
through the Enrolement Department of the Central Office of the Royal Courts
of Justice on 18 September 1946. He later emigrated to America |
|
Oswald
Greathead |
Oswald changed his name to EVANS after his first wife died. Her
maiden name was Evans. He was so upset at the way his boys were
taunted at school that he decided to change the whole family surname from
Greathead to Evans and stated his heirs would also take that name. The
boys were
Herbert,
George and
Kenneth. |
|
John Henry

Eliza
Greathead |

became Sister Edwardine when she received the habit at Liège in
Belgium. She entered at The Daughters of the Cross at Chelsea on 22 July
1886 |
|
Sidney Charles
Oliver Greathead |
Sidney emigrated to Canada with his parents and sibling. Constance who
became his wife had also emigrated to Canada. They married there and
became Greathead then changed their name to GREY. Strangely
their first, fourth, fifth and sixth children all girls were registered with
the surname of Grey but their second and third children who both died at
birth were registered with the surname of Greathead. I suggest grief
to them back to their roots. Sidney's brother
Percy
also changed the family name to Grey |
|
Percy
Frederick V Greathead |
Percy
signed up on 22 September 1914 in the 4th Battalion of the Canadian
Expeditionary Force. He gave his name as Percy GUY. He married
and they had one child whilst going back to the surname of GREATHEAD.
They then changed their name to GREY similar to Percy's brother
Sidney |
|
Frank

Frank
changed surname to MORLEY around 1949. He was apparently fed up
with the bullying during his National Service. Morley was his mother's
maiden name. |

otherwise known as REGALDI. Henry was a Professor of
