Greaves of Mayfield
« on: Friday 29 October 10 17:58 BST (UK) »
Hi there. I am related to Rosamond Moreton, who married William Greaves of The Hermitage, Mayfield, Staffordshire, in 1870. She was his second wife. I understand that several of William's children from his first marriage (to Barbara Turner) went to live in Australia.

There's a string of postings on the site but it is locked; I'm a newcomer to this site so I don't know how to email the senders! They do seem to be the same family, though, so I'd love to get in touch.

If anyone could help me to get in touch, I'd be very grateful.

Hi teddycat and welcome.

If you acquire a couple more posts to your name (which you can easily do by adding further replies to this thread) you will be able to send and receive personal messages to/from members through Rootschat's PM system. This you can do by clicking on a person's username, or on the little green scroll which appears underneath it in the far left margin of a thread. This should work even on a locked thread.

Hope you manage to make contact :)

Hello there. I must apologise for not repying to your posting, but I'm incredibly busy with work at the moment. I'll reply to your home email as soon as I can.

Very best wishes

One thing, just briefly; I believe one Greaves descendant in Australia has a copy of a letter written by Eleanor Greaves, sister of Valentine, to one of her brothers. She seems to have been estranged from the family at the time, and living in Manchester. Have you come across it at all?

I've visited The Hermitage in Mayfield and the current owners kindly showed me round. They mentioned that one or two of William Senior's descendants in Australia had been in touch, and that there were a few stories/anecdotes.

Bye for now
Tina

Coat of Arms of Greaves of Mayfield
« Reply #4 on: Friday 29 September 23 08:23 BST (UK) »
I have found a reference which says: “The arms of Greaves of Mayfield are: per bend, gu. (gules/red) & vert (green), an eagle displayed or (gold).”

Does anyone know when these arms were granted and to whom?
