Welcome to the Worldwide Greathead family my One-Name Study - Brickwalls

 

I often find information that I cannot link up to any tree I will list some here.  Maybe you can help?

Malcolm II King of Scotland in 1056 had a surname of Canmore, which translates as Greathead.

The name Greathead appears in London and Whitby, in the 14th and 15th Century. 

Johnis Gretheede de Batley 1576

 

Can you find where they fit into the Greathead story?

Can you solve any of my brickwalls?
