Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for your message. I suspect you are the brother of Richard who've I corresponded with via email. Thanks for the information on your forbears. As I said to Richard it seems hard to believe they are related, however distantly, to mine as mine come from Greasley too. As far as I can see Greasley appears to have been the place where some births, marriages and deaths for people living in the village of Selston were registered. As you probably know there were sterlands in Selston going back to the 16th century. Members of my family lived in a farm in Selston called Jacksdale for hundreds of years (as tenant farmers) but there were many offspring they also farmed elsewhere, just over the border into Derbyshire and some did other things. I guess it is because the Sterlands had been there for so long that there appear to have been many of them in the area in the 18th century and its hard to work out how they were connected. I have to say I have only just started getting interested in this so I'm a real novice at it.
I told Richard a bit about myself and explained that I spend three months in Manly each summer where my husband has family. I came across your ancestors by chance. I have mailed Richard a pedigree chart of mine, which I can mail you if you want. I can be mailed on
regards
Liz
