Greatley - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

I'm descended from Lucy Greatley of Lane End Coleford, her son Bertie White of Joyford is my grandather. Lucy's father was Henry Greatley a collier (according to her marriage record at Christchurch church. However, I'm struggling to find any record of Henry. Does anyone have any link to Henry please? Thanks for your time.

hi. I think that Benjamin White Born 1871 was a brother to my Great Grandad Amos White born 1873. As far as I know, there was a brother Albert born 1888 and 2 sisters Annie Born 1876 and Ellen born 1879 but as yet, I have not researched them. there might be more. their parents were William born 1844 and (i think) Eliza (nee Smith) born 1848. If my research is correct, Williams parents were, Thomas born 1818 and Elizabeth born 1817. My Grandad Amos, married Mary Ann Lewis born 1873.

hope this has been of some help
