Father of Georgina GREEK, 1861, Little Torrington
« on: Thursday 20 May 10 18:34 BST (UK) »
Very long shot this!!

Georgina Greek was born in Little Torrington in 1861, sister of Charley, to the unmarried Elizabeth Mary Greek who much later married Henry Kelly and had more children. (Georgina married George Hiscock Stentiford).

Georgina's lack of a father leaves a big hole on my tree, in spite of the best efforts of me and others.

If anyone trips over Georgina's father, or has any suggestions for where to look, all suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Just goes to show all things come to those who wait!!

With help, and the coming online of various records, Georgina's father is exposed as George Hill Leverton of Merton, who soon after went to Ballarat where he married, had daughters, and became a respected police officer!! http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/newspapers/results?recordCount=-1&firstName=elizabeth+mary&lastName=greek&fromYear=&toYear=&county=ALL&keywords=

Just a little p.s. to this...

My Ancestry DNA results have provided a match to a descendant of George's sister, so after over 150 years, George - we have well and truly "gotcha"!! :-)
