Looking for greenhalgh relatives.

[Simply Red]

Hi Gill, it was a surprise and very good to hear from you. Have a wonderful time in USA with your family and look forward to hearing from you again when you are back in UK. Maybe as both of us are novices at this geneology stuff we can exchange any information.
Kind regards, Keith

Hi,

I am not sure if we would be related or not.  My Grandfathers name was James Nathinel Greenhalgh, he was born in Sullihul, & he married Betty Bragg also from Sullihul region.  Betty came from a family of 8 children.  I don't believe James had any siblings, however I believe both his parents came from latge families.

We have not been able to locate many of the Greenhalgh relatives.

Hope this might help.

Ellysa Greenhalgh.

Hello Ellysa,  I cannot connect James Nathaniel to the family on my tree (but have not found all children born to the children of Samuel and Hannah Eliza Greenhalgh). I havn'nt heard for some while from recent greenhalgh relatives I spoke to a few months back. If they view this post or I hear from them, I shall certainly mention the name and they may recognise it. My Nathaniel McCreary married to Edna Greenhalgh, I have found a lot about recently and he was born in Scotland. I doubt I will research to much further into the Greenhalgh line are they are not direct ancestors of mine - but a sibling line included in my tree as they and my Emerson ancestors of Radcliffe, were very close and much respected and loved by my Mum and Aunt. However, I would still love to speak to anyone connected to the family. I shall keep this post in mind, as you never know when or where a connection will pop-up. I appreciate your difficulty tracing the Greenhalgh name as it is such a popular name in Lancashire - I had a few difficult moments but then some lucky breaks aided by family stories.
If Gill and Keith are reading this - I hope you are both well - I had responded to latest emails (though we have had email problems this end). It would be great to hear from you again.
Thank you all and Take care, Angela.

I have some photos dated from the 1930s of some Greenhalgh relatives whom my mother visited in the 1930s. They include pictures of a Jim Greenhalgh and his parents with a pet dog (spaniel?) outside their house in Solihull -100 Alder hook road - does this mean anything to you? Could this Jim be your grandfather? There are a couple of pictures of a fair-haired child, apparently Jim's son Peter.

Hi Lucykin,
Thank you for your email. I am afraid I cannot connect Jim or Peter with the Greenhalghs on my tree and to-date have not found my relatives in Solihull. Mine seemed to keep close in Radcliffe and Blackpool. It is a difficult one, the Greenhalgh name, there are so many Greenhalghs in that part of the country. Many thanks for your contact - you just never know were a connection will pop up. Wishing you good luck on the family tree hunt. kind regards, Angela.

Thanks for your reply, Angela; I'm sorry I can't help you either. In fact I meant really to direct my comments towards Elyssa Greenhalgh. I hope Elyssa might respond as she seemed to have connections in Solihull.
However, I also have Greenhalgh ancestors who lived in Radcliffe. If anyone has any photos/info about Nathaniel Greenhalgh (b 1957 in Darcy Lever) and his wife Alice Hilton (b 1857 in Tyldesley) or any of their 8 children, I would be very interested.
