Hi Frank.  So your Richard Greenop was married to Sarah Eleanor Backhouse? If so, I have a photo of him and his 3 eldest children.  Also, a photo of Sarah and children after she became a widow (probably on the day of Richard's funeral). I also have an "In Memoruim" card from his funeral.  I'm happy to supply scanned copies to you.

I find this site quite difficult to understand, so you could email me directly at 'rowland5[at]bigpond[dot]net[dot]au. Hope you can see this address.

Hi - could you please look up for a marriage between John Hornby (b. 1867) and Mary Jane Bainbridge (b. 1869).
John was the son of Simon Bryham Hornby.  Mary Jane was the daughter of Joseph Bainbridge. Also, exact birthdates for each would be helpful.  Thanks.

I have Greenops in my family tree. Specifically John born 1818 in Langdale who was a labourer at the gunpowder works. He was married to Mary Kirkby who was something like me GGG aunt i think! They had 12 children.
Do you need to know anything in particular?

Hi Corinne - I have Greenops in my family too; the same Greenops = John Greenop and Mary Kirkby (m. 27-May-1843 at Grasmere). 

John died in the Elterwater Powder Works explosion. They had 10 children:
William, Margaret, Sarah, Agnes, John, Henry, Robert, Edward, Jonathan & Richard.

I'm descended from Margaret Greenop. She married Joseph Bainbridge. They had two children = Mary Jane and John.  I'm descended from Mary Jane, who married John Hornby. They emigrated to Tasmania with their two girls Grace and Margaret (my grandmother).

Attached is a photo of Margaret Bainbridge (nee Greenop).

I'm keen to get more details of this Greenop line.  Which one are you descended from?
