We need to connect by email about this, as I have so much to share.

Otho Desse Greaves was born in Barbados, the West Indies.  He left the island when he was only 18 to "go to sea" and never returned.  However, he and his wife always kept in touch with the Barbados family.
I am a part of that Barbados family!  How's that for starters?

Oh this is fantastic :)

I have goggled and googled trying to find information on Otho Greaves. I musn`t be doing it right ::)
I had searched mainly for mariners but that didn`t give me any details on an Otho Greaves. No wonder I couldn`t find him looking for a mere mariner. He was a Captain :)

If I had looked a bit harder I would have found him. Thankyou ShaunJ and downunder for your all your efforts in helping me.

Do you think this Frank Lewis Oliver Greaves would be a son to Rhoda and Otho. They seem to be living in the same place [South Road,Drayton,Hants] or would this just be an Accomodation Place for Mariners and Captains that sailed for the Elders Dempster Company or other Companys?
I have googled but can`t find anything about Accomodation Places for Mariners etc. ::)

There are possibly more children to Otho and Rhoda so I will have to go and look. The difference in ages between Herbert Albert Greaves and this possible brother Frank seems to be a big gap. [Twenty Years] Well here I go asuming again ;D

  Thankyou once again.

Regards Johngirl


I am related through marriage and have information and photographs of Captain Otho Greaves from South Road and have visited them there.   If this is who you are looking for, please contact me and I will be happy to share.
