William Greaves born abt 1810 in Yorkshire

davidgreaves2 — 2012-01-21 10:53:15Z

I am trying to trace William Greaves early life and family in UK. He was born abt 1810 in Yorkshire as noted on his death notice. He was convicted in York on 23 Oct 1833 and sentenced to 7 years transportation to New South Wales, Australia, and assigned to the Newcastle region where he lived out his life until 1875. He was buried in the Cathederal grounds. For most of his later life he was a storekeeper, with ties to Sheffield for iron monegery which he sold according to his advertisments.

The records in Australia are complete however no confirmed details exist prior to his conviction. Some leads exists and are posted in my published tree, as are much of the later information of his life.

He is my grgrgr grandfather. Regards David Greaves

Thomas Greaves b. 1813 Derbyshire

ellen19428 — 2012-01-09 22:46:51Z

Trying to trace Thomas Greaves b.1813 in Derbyshire.
wife: Mary Ann Salthouse b.1813 in Liverpool.
They married in Liverpool in 1833
They had 5 children >
Joseph b.1835
George b.1836
Thomas b. 1842
Elizabeth b. 1844
John Dale b. 1851 > my Great grandfather.
I know where and when he died, I know where he was buried, I know where he lived each decade from 1841 (except 1871, there is no trace of the family on the 1871 Census, Ancestry say they must have been"missed off"). He was a Warhouseman and then from the 1860s he was a Customs Officer but Nat Archives Customs records do not have him listed. His place of birth is not on his marriage cert or any of the children's birth or marriage certs.

>>> They are not the GREAVES family from CROMPTON <<<

Are you a connected to Thomas ? Where in Derbyshire was Thomas born? Can anyone help ?

ellen19428 — 2012-01-09 22:36:12Z

Can I just add they are not the Thomas and Mary Ann from Crompton. I would appreciate any help, been tracing them for a long long time.... many thanks in advance :-D

Re: Also Looking for Todd Ross Greaves

RABYFOREVER929 — 2011-11-16 01:57:50Z

Hi, Todd or Chip is my cousin, his mother Jean was my aunt.
My mother's older sister.

The last I heard of Chip, he was in Ojai, and had passed away January 3 2007 or 2008.

I have not been able to find any report as to how he died, where, what the circumstances or if he ever married. I had heard there might have been a marriage, because he was living with a woman for several years.

If you have any info, please contact me at Roots2hunt4@yahoo.com
Thank you

Hi. The info you gave me regarding Joshua Greaves sounds good- do you have any dates please. If he is the same one, then he came over to England as a sailor, but we then lost contact. I am assuming him to be of white origin.
Many thanks for all your help.

Ned passed away prior to wedding, Julia remained unmarried.

Samuel owned sugar plantation "Stewart's Hill", Benjamin owned "Bascoms".

three houses come into play: Emerton, PassBye, and Emmerville.

Re: Samuel Rock Greaves - grandson/ggrandson connection!

lori13326 — 2011-06-30 16:03:03Z

from what i recall of family discussions the farm was owned by either Samuel Rock or his father and there were three brothers.
My grandfathers side came to the US twice, the last time stayed.

Back in the 70's the government "repossed" the property, my father Clive D. dealt with the government (I still have the paperwork)

I just came back to Ancestry.com so forgive the delay.

Apparently, my grandfather Samuel Clive was the youngest child of Samuel Rock, I dont recall his mothers name - we always referred to her as "Maa".

Any info you have would be great.

Re: Greaves - Norfolk or Suffolk

whalmi — 2011-06-12 23:10:48Z

My great grandmother's tree reaches as far back as about mid-1600s marriage of Humphrey Graves to a woman baptised in Norwich Norfolk. My family used Greaves also. At least three public family trees here at the Ancestry Website have relatives from the early 1800s and 1700s using Greeve, Graves and Greve on records in Norfolk. Family tree 83 connect in Kings Lynn Norfolk in the early 1600s by DNA match only (we are still searching for the final documented record proof). If you are a member of Ancestry then you may contact using their messaging between members apart from this forum (in order to avoid email spamming robots, etc...) .

Re: Greaves - Norfolk or Suffolk

Coral36 — 2011-06-11 18:07:00Z

Hello My Greaves originated in Norfolk starting with William & Mary Grave (no information) Their son Riches/Richess Graves born 1800 m Pheobe Kelver (1). I am decsend from his line. I have no information re any brothers or sisters of Riches. I have got names/dates of his sons/daughters Who are your parents and when were they born. Most of my Greaves are spread around England but as far as I know, they are not in Norfolk currently.

Re: Samuel Rock Greaves - grandson/ggrandson connection!

Re: Aubrey "Pop" Greaves, b. St. Moritz, Grenada

ACIGUYANA — 2011-06-05 20:36:35Z

Re: Greaves of Grenada?

ACIGUYANA — 2011-06-05 20:32:17Z

That seems to be a reality.

Re: Greaves - Norfolk or Suffolk

whalmi — 2011-06-01 01:51:32Z

Thank you, Ken. My family tree at Ancestry has been researched by me, not a Genealogist, including back from the earliest shown Graves from the DNA connected tree #428 as far as the early 1600s to a Humphrey Graves from Kirton in Holland (near Boston Lincolnshire England) married to a Norfolk connected woman including a baptism of a Samuel Graves child. That far back we lose the mother information on baptisms making it difficult to link a baptism to a marriage record. This is at a point in time that could jump geographically to King Lynn Norfolk at a time when the earliest shown ancestor on tree #83 was a Samuel Graves likely in Kings Lynn Norfolk. (Humphrey Graves has at least three possible Lincolnshire baptism records but I have not looked far into possible Norfolk baptisms.)

Re: Greaves - Norfolk or Suffolk

kgraves1 — 2011-06-01 01:20:44Z

The Graves Family Association website at www.gravesfa.org has information on most Graves/Greaves/Grieve/etc. families in England, America, and elsewhere. The family from Lincolnshire that Mike (whalmi) referred to is for Samuel Graves (genealogy 83) on that site. You can see other possibly related families of Lincolnshire athttp://www.gravesfa.org/charts.html#Lynn.

Re: Greaves - Norfolk or Suffolk

whalmi — 2011-05-31 21:47:35Z

Check out www.gravesfa.org as there is a family known to have left Kings Lynn Norfolk about 1620 or 1630 to start the town Lynn in America. Another Greaves and Graves family tree from Lincolnshire has a DNA match with that family. A Greeves and Graves family tree here at Ancestry has family from Lincolnshire in the 1800s leading back to around Lynn in Norfolk in the 1700s.

Re: Trying to find my mother's family

bettygreaves183 — 2011-01-10 02:19:37Z

This is so interesting; my mother always said we were related to the Gibsons but never said in what way. Her mother died in childs birth when my mom was about 5; she said there were 2 younger sisters plus the baby. One of the sisters was raised by her father and I know them but no one ever told my mom where the other siblings were as her great aunts seperated the children. Do you know if there was a Matthew or Richard Greaves in your family? Everyone seemed to be called uncle this, aunt that or cousin so and so without any explanation how we were related, it was considered rude to question them.
Thanks for the reply!

Re: Trying to find my mother's family

JenniferSickinger1 — 2011-01-09 18:38:46Z

I have an Agatha Greaves in my tree, born in St. Vincent. Her father was Thomas Greaves b.1867. He was married to Helena "Ellen" Gibson. Agatha was married to a Tom Bailey, but I do not have names of their children. Could this be your grandmother? Children born outside of a marriage would take their mother's maiden name.

Re: Trying to find my mother's family

bettygreaves183 — 2010-12-22 01:35:16Z

I know it seems daunting not having all the info. We did not grow up amongst my mother's family due to a family rift. When I was about 12 I realized why,I can still feel my mother's great aunt's right index finger on my scalp punctuating each word she spoke, " don't be like your mother who let down the family so raise back up your color, besides you were considered rude to question the older folks about themselves.

Re: Trying to find my mother's family

barb0744 — 2010-12-19 00:41:27Z

Sorry. Are you saying you don't know the name of your Scottish Greaveses? That will make it real hard for you. Could someone please comment on known Scottish Greaves lines? I have a cousin who lives in Edinburgh, but I think the line is from northern England.

Trying to find my mother's family

bettygreaves183 — 2010-12-18 00:54:47Z

Mother is Rita Greaves, her mother was Agatha Greaves, both born in St. Vincent, West Indies. My mother said her grand father came from Scotland to find his fortune in the early 1800s.
Her grand mother was a Dupont whose father left the US after the civil war and started a new life in Grenada,West Indies in the spice industry.

James Greaves born 1836/1837

jackiechadwick148 — 2010-10-18 20:50:45Z

Can anyone help me solve a family mystery?
James GREAVES born around 1836 in Birmingham, married Ann Maria Hipkiss in 1857. they had two children (Bertha Eliza Greaves b.1870 and Ernest Edward Greaves born 1874)From census records he appears to have been a tin plate worker, but the story in the family was that he was in the jewellry trade, that he went to Rio De Janeiro with a business partner and that someone was murdered ( we don't know if it was James or the partner!)
I do have a copy of a photo of James in Rio ( no date!)and I am pretty certain he is a relative because he looks very much like my Great Grandfather. James seems to disappear from any records after 1871 and by 1880 his wife is married to a William Peters. Does anyone know how a tinplate woker comes to be in Rio in the 1800s? or can anyone help me with this strange tale?
Many Thanks
