Yorkshire (West Riding) / Greaves of Lake Lock/Stanley
« on: Sunday 18 October 09 05:14 BST (UK) »
Looking for parents of James Greaves b. abt. 1807 Lake Lock/Stanley. James married Anna Maria Morton at St. Chad's, Rochdale, Lancashire 1825. James had a brother Richard b. abt. 1816 at Stanley. There was mention of a "pensioner" Catherine Greaves--could have been an unmarried sister or their mother. James and Richard worked as "joiners" on large renewal projects throughout England and Wales including Conwy & Britannia bridges. Richard & Elizabeth settled in Cardiff and raised their family. James died in Cardiff 1862.
Have quite a bit of info on James' life and descendents, but can't seem to work backwards. Researched online using Ancestry and LDS Family search. Do not know church. I have had no luck finding burial or cemetery resources. Does anyone know how to go about searching Lake Lock/Stanley area births between 1806-1817 to find parents of James & Richard? Thank you!
