Hi Chapmag
I have a considerable database ofGreenawys in the U.K some with Chapman connections, but they are later than your dates and not in Bks. but perhaps given a little more detail, dates, places, I may be able to something of use to you.
My list is made up of events so that I may have the same people listed in a number of ways but as yet not connected.
I do not claim 100% accuracy but a pointer as where to look.

Hi R973G(?!),

   My Greenaways...

   Edmund GREENAWAY was born in 1711 (calculated).  He married Elizabeth BROOKER on 9 September 1730 in Greenham, Berkshire.1

Elizabeth BROOKER was born in 1711 (calculated).  She and Edmund GREENAWAY had the following children:

2   Grace GREENAWAY (b.1731, bur.1731).   Grace was born in 1731 in Beedon, Berkshire.  She was christened on 10 June 1731 in Beedon, Berkshire.  She was buried on 27 July 1731.
+3   Elizabeth GREENAWAY (b.1732, bur.1794)

The Chapmans my Greenaways are connected to and how....

    Elizabeth GREENAWAY, daughter of Edmund GREENAWAY and Elizabeth BROOKER, was born in 1732 in Beedon, Berkshire.  She was christened on 20 August 1732.2  She married William CHAPMAN on 19 September 1752 in Newbury, Berkshire.3  She was buried on 22 June 1794 in Chieveley, Berkshire.

William CHAPMAN was born in 1732 (estimated) in Berkshire.  He and Elizabeth GREENAWAY had the following children:

+5   George CHAPMAN (1752-1811)
+6   Hannah CHAPMAN (1754- )
+7   John CHAPMAN (1756- )
8   Isaac CHAPMAN (1761- ).   Isaac was born in 1761 in Leckhampstead, Berkshire.  He was christened on 14 April 1761 in Leckhampstead, Berkshire.4

I have all Chapman events up to the present day, I am desparately trying to locate William Chapmans and Edmund Greenaways birth places, dates etc....

HAPPY HUNTING.

Hi Chapmag
Thanks for the further details,but all I have is the Edmund/Elizabeth marriage,that because I have a particular interest in Greenham, a forebear of mine was living there for 20 or so years and I can't find his birthplace.
