George Greathead was born on 26 April 1861 in 16 Anthony Street, Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham, England, Sarah signed her mark as X on his birth certificate although she appears to have signed her own marriage certificate. Maybe she was suffering from the effects of the birth?3,4,5

He was called upon to resign through generally unsatisfactory conduct. Afterwards he was dismissed for appropriating Company money to misuse. He left on 24 March 1881. It would seem he gave his age as 15 when he signed on in 1880.8 In the census of 3 April 1881 in 16 Anthony Street, Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham, England, he was listed as the son of William Greathead George was a railway company clerk I don't think he had told his parents he had been dismissed.9 He married Ann Grace Lamb, daughter of Matthew Lamb and Ann Grace Anderson, on 26 April 1883 in Holy Trinity, Seaton Carew, Durham, England, George was an Accountant, living at South Burn Terrace, Stranton. They were married by John Lawson (1808-1890) the vicar of Seaton Carew for 55 years.

William Greathead was baptised on 3 May 1819 in Heighington, Durham, England, William's father was a tailor.1,2 He was the son of William Greathead and Jane Cockfield. In the census of 6 June 1841 in Travellers Rest, Seaton Carew, Durham, England, He was an agricultural labourer, I assume Travellers Rest was a lodging house.3 In the census of 30 March 1851 he was listed as the lodger of John Ward a joiner born in Swaleworth, Yorkshire. William was also a joiner.4 He married Sarah Brown, daughter of Peter Brown and Isabella Baker, on 4 July 1852 in Stockton Weslyan Methodist Chapel, Hartlepool, Durham, England, William was aged thirty-one and Sarah was aged twenty-five. The ceremony took place in the Weslyan Chapel, Hartlepool by Henry Smallwood and was witnessed by George Graham and Sarah Barker. The Newcastle Courant of 1 July 1852 stated William Greathead builder married Miss Sarah Brown, both of West Hartlepool.5,6,7 William was listed as the head of the family of on the census of 7 April 1861 in 16 Anthony Street, Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham, England, William was a joiner.8 William was listed as the head of the family of on the census of 2 April 1871 in 16 Anthony Street, Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham, England, William was a joiner.

William was a joiner and had his grandaughter Sarah staying with him. She was aged 31. I do not know who she is, William had a grandaughter called Sarah but she was aged 13 not 31 and she is listed on the census with her parents. It would be impossible for William to have a grandaughter aged 31.11 He died on 1 April 1898 in 2 Brunton Street, Hartlepool, Durham, England, aged 78 from Bronchitis exhaustion, His son George registered his death.12
