Greenham Family or Bull Family

[danishdots]

hoping that some-one may be able to help with info re Jane Bull born  Dec 1842 - mother ? Jane Greenham and father ?William Bull.  Lived in Maryborough, Queens County (now Portlaoise, Co. Laois).  If I have the correct Jane - she married a Matthews and I can see her on 1901 and 1911 census as a widow.

Know nothing about 'Bull' or 'Greenham' connections.

Many thanks.

Thank you for that link - I'll have a look.

I should have said but I think that they were probably Church of Ireland or maybe Methodist

I found the names in a family bible.

Good wishes,

Very interesting   Will now have a look there!!  None of the family knew of the Greenham ancestor - so they will all be very interested... many thanks.

I am interested in all things "Greenham"! In fact I set up the blog which gives an index of Irish Greenhams from 1600 to 1800: http://earliestgreenhamsinireland.blogspot.com/
James Dyas Greenham was my 3 x great grandfather. (I have his silver teapot with his initials!) He had 2 marriages with 8 children from the first and 3 from the second (my line).
Robert Greenham was a son from the 1st marriage to Jane E. Hornidge, christened, St. Catherine's, Dublin 4 Jul 1803. He married Jane Moon from Cupar, Fifeshire, Scotland on 3 Oct 1836 and settled in Mountrath where he was involved in the family business of cotton milling. When it failed, he emigrated with his wife and 3 of his children, arriving Melbourne, Australia 9 Mar 1857, and has living descendants in New South Wales.
Robert and Jane's children were:
* Jessie Victoria Greenham, ch. 7 Jul 1837, Clonernagh and Clonagheen Parish, Mountrath
* Jane Greenham, ch 29 Sep 1838, Clonernagh...; m. James Patton MacKenzie, Victoria, Australia, 1862, 7 children; d. Melbourne 25 Jan 1925
* Margaret Greenham, b. Mountrath, abt. 1843; d. Melbourne 4 Apr 1914
* Robert James Greenham, ch. 29 Jul 1841, Clonernagh...;mar. Catherine Florence Spicer, 1877, Victoria, Australia, 2 children; d. Sydney, NSW
