    There is also a William Nicholson Greenwood Jun 1901 Bradford,Y. 9b 133

    HI,

    I have checked the web site I subscribe to and there is not a William Thomas Greenwood or a William Nicholson Grrenwood living in Bradford. Of the William Bradford entries of the right age none were born in Bradford or have a father called Frederick.



    Sorry not to have been of more help.

    Hi paulettewinter



    The following is all speculation, but may be correct.



    This is the Bradford baby.



    Births Dec 1900

    Greenwood William Thomas Bradford, Y. 9b 120



    Deaths Mar 1901

    Greenwood William Thomas aged 0 Bradford,Y. 9b 92



    Keighley is in the middle of Bradford, and this one is about the same age, but you'd require the birth certificate to confirm the maiden name of the mother.



    Births Mar 1901

    Greenwood William Keighley 9a 165



    1901 Census for 84 Turkey Street, Keighley

    Name: William Greenwood

    Age: 3 Mo

    Estimated Birth Year: abt 1900

    Household Members: All born in Keighley, Yorkshire

    Name Age

    Charles Metcalfe 25

    Sarah Ann Metcalfe 27

    Thomas Metcalfe 1

    Harry Greenwood 20 Boarder General Labourer

    Mary Greenwood 20 Wife Boarder Worsted Twister

    William Greenwood 3 Mo

    Source Citation: Class:RG 13 ; Piece: 4076; Folio: 15; Page: 22.



    Marriages Jun 1900

    Greenwood Henry Keighley 9a 433

    Leach Mary Keighley 9a 433



    Births Dec 1879

    Leach Mary Keighley 9a 187



    Births Mar 1881

    LEACH Mary Keighley 9a 186



    Births Jun 1881

    GREENWOOD Henry Keighley 9a 173



    Births Dec 1880

    GREENWOOD Harry Keighley 9a 193



    I don't particularly like this one, though it may well be right.



    Marriages Jun 1902

    Greenwood Harry Keighley 9a 345

    Sunderland Mary Hannah Keighley 9a 345

    hi mark f,

    thankyou so much for looking for me but there is alot of williams there that ive gone through myself but they are not the ones, my grandfather died in 1985. the harry and mary who had a 3mth william,looked good but williams father was called fred.

    now we can speculate as much as we want to but i think my only hope now is his navy records. paulette

    If there is no birth for William that you know, why are you so sure he was born in Bradford then?



    If he lived in Bradford sometime during his life, it doesn't mean he was born there, or even in Yorkshire!!

    Hi Paulette,



    In FMP under the National Roll of the Great War there are 5 Greenwood entries from Bradford. Did your GF have a middle name?



    There are 3 W Greenwood from Bradford and 1 J W Greenwood from Bradford and 1 W M Greenwood from Bradford
