Greathead Lane

I have just been alerted to Greathead Lane, New Germany, Pinetown 3610 in South Africa.  Not the best part of town. lots of barbed wire for protection and/or gated entrances.  Anyone any idea what the Greathead connection is?

Dad Greathead

I have been sent this photograph and on the back it says 'and Dad Greathead'.  The gentleman who sent is not related as far as we know to any Greatheads but does live in South Africa

Anyone recognise the man with the moustache?

Strickland family

Lots of updates to the Strickland family.  George Ingram married Elizabeth Greathead on 18 December 1838, their daughter Mary married John Strickland and the link to our name progressed.

George is my 3rd cousin 5 times removed, so this family really were close to my personal interest. Thanks to John for pointing me in the right direction

Leonard Greathead

For a long time I have struggled to discover what happened to Leonard Greathead.  This week however the mystery was solved.  He changed his name before he married to Leonard Norville.  Thanks to his grandson for alerting me.
