Sorry i can't help at this time as i have just started helping a friend (Greedy) and we are only back to 1850's before her family left for Australia,but i have had some success with OPC so may be worth a look.

Hi there
freereg.org have both Wiveliscombe and Lydeard transcriptions online and although there are lots with that surname (and variants), no Matthew. Wiveliscombe/Lydeard are also on line with many other parishes at http://www.pbenyon1.plus.com/PR_Index.html

Hello Lorraine
Thanks for you message,Ive had a look on my tree and found William Harold, and i think you must be a close relitive of Sally Ann? Well i see you came down the Roberts line and i come down the John line, Sally Ann gave me a lot of information of the tree from Matthew, I have been trying to find more about Matthew but not much luck
Good to here someone with the same start as me
Regards jack

Dear Jack
Your email was censored! Nevermind! I do have an extensive family tree on a well know genes site if you would like to look at it. I have lots of information about the Greeds. I noticed that lots of my records were also shared by a 'Jack' who I assumed was my great uncle who died ages ago but I am guessing now that it must be you!
I am indeed the daughter of Sally Ann but she tells me that when she had contact with you (if it is the same Jack) that you concluded that there was no link.
I have a hand written family tree written my my grandfather which records all Greeds and eldest sons back to Matthew Greedy. I have tried to add as much of this information as I can.
I will also research Matthew and Ann further - it scares me how many relatives - distant or otherwise - that there seem to be!
My Mum tells me you are abroad!
Lorraine :)

Does the name John Greedy 1675 mean anything??
-
Hello Lorraine
Our connection is way back to Matthews sons John b1779 is the line i com from and his other son Robert b1785 is your line, your mum told me that, and have since found it out for myself, but your mun did give me alot of information, i still have some of her letters as referance,i did find out that Matthew married in 1772 to ann, and that it on a good site .
Ive been trying find out more about Matthew but it seems to be one of those brick walls, his marriage is about it.
I will go now and nose about to see if i can find you site, would it be the same one your mun used ?
love jack
