31 December |
Happy New Year, may you have a great time
looking through the pages of this website and hopefully finding something
of interest. Let me know if you can add or amend or if you just
enjoyed what is there. Well the
year ended and lots of minor updates, sources added to prove what was
previously a guess from a census record and a bit of tidying up.
Snow and Christmas stopped too much actual research.
Next update due 31 January 2010 |

Some more photographs have been added this month

the pond. Many thanks to all who assisted this month

from Family History Centre in London, some data added,

Data from the LMA, Guildhall and

Excise Men
- Two visits now to TNA have
given me 21 investigated entries in the Excise Minute books. I have
searched the first 200 microfiche in CUST 47. The total years covered
are 1695 - 1867. There are 699 microfiche in total so I have a way to
go and I am up to 1744. So far I have discovered Greathead entries for
Henry, John, Francis and William.

Many photographs have been added this month

Much progress has been achieved in
finding some missing families by discovering they had emigrated and
changed their names. See the new listing
page of some of them. Maybe you know more, do tell
With the additional material scanned from
the London Metropolitan Archives and the Guildhall and now available on
Ancestry I have added all the baptisms and burials for known Greathead and
variants but am still wading through the marriages. I will complete
for next months update

More 1911 census data has been added, still
need one more visit. It has been an interesting exercise, and
amazingly I have found all those returns I have received. I have
discovered much new information.
I have been fortunate to receive many
photographs this month, and they have been added to the website.
Together with many updates.

I have added a new page
Name changes which details those Greatheads that disappeared and
reappeared with a new surname. Those that I have found anyway, maybe
there are more!! Sometimes they have been quite difficult to
uncover.

31 July |
More 1911 census data has been added.
I went to the London History Centre and brought home loads of images.
I am slowly going through, another visit is planned for even more.
Hopefully to include in next update
Family stories have been sent this month and
are beginning to be added. They add so much colour and bring
families alive

Finally I have added all the data from the
200 odd 1911 census sheets I obtained when I went to TNA. They have
answered a few questions but inevitably they have posed a few more.
Must get back to TNA for more copies!!
I have been corresponding with many people
on the fringes of the ONS, all very interesting and some quite challenging

After a visit to TNA I have some 1911
household census returns. I am gradually adding this data but it
will take a couple of months. Some
photographs and details of my family
Isabella
Brown (Sarah's
sister)
A friend keeps sending me Greathead
information as he comes across it. He tells me he just enjoys
looking at blogs and passes anything Greathead related to me. To him I say
a huge thank you.
Much extra data from so many contacts.
I say thanks to all of you. Do stay in touch.

Durham and Yorkshire 1911 census information
added where I can, still not paid, although a very dear friend did send me
a copy of one which I was very interested in.
Having searched for children with a mother
whose maiden name was Greathead on Ancestry.com I have added some of
this information to my personal database. If the children are alive,
only their names will appear as living
John Spurr Lamb ran out on his
wife and two children, married a lady who travelled on the same ship to
Australia and started a new family. He was my 2nd great great uncle. Out
of the blue my 4th cousin Greg contacted me and has filled in many "holes"
and brought me up to date with this branch of the family.
I have started to include pages by
occupation, giving some names and details
Chart 5 has been corrected
Many other changes from the many contacts
with whom I have communicated this month, many thanks
