Birth Look up request - abt 1810
« on: Saturday 12 March 05 16:16 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the parents of Joseph Greaves.

Joseph was born in Hazlehurst, Ashton Under Lyne about 1810.

If anyone has access to the relevant records any info would be much appreciated.

Hello,

In case somebody doesn't provide anything else, I would suggest checking here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

There are some good possibilities at first sight, and it's a good site to bookmark for future use as it's a great (although not complete) resource for births, marriages.

Good luck
Jonathan

Thanks for that suggestion - I have found a Joseph Greaves born 13/05/1809 in Ashton Under Lyne - parents Robert  and Mary Greaves.



on Joseph's marriage in 1847 his father is recorded as Robert, but this doesn't seem to me to be proof, but does mean it's a possible.l

Can anyone tell me how I can determine if this is the right Joseph Greaves.
