Thread: fred greenwood

hi, could some one help me with a search for fred greenwood my ggrandfather, he was born in west yorkshire around 1880s.he is the father of william this can be the only link i have at the moment in finding a birth cert for my grandad william greenwood birth jan 1900. i have tryed to obtain a cert for william, but there are no births matching 14 january 1900 which was the day he celebrated his birthday. he said both his parents died when they were both 38 years old. he said his grandfather kept racing pigeons and he worked along side his grandfather in a bit of building work and they lived in bradford west yorkshire so if his parents died at 38 he would spend alot of time, probably lived with his grandfather. paulettewinter

Do you want as much info as I can find, ie earlier censuses for Robert and Sarah, and a marriage. Or do you have the resources and prefer to look yourself? I don't mind looking, Paulette.

hi slizzy, you have found the right ones then, and i see there are three more siblings to the list on the 1891census, a william knowles and the thomas sunames with the other two what does that mean,are they lodging there. thanks slizzy

Hi Paulette,



Sorry, I forgot to say the Thomas' were boarders.

Hi Paulette,



It looks like the Thomas' 1891 could be relatives.
