Hi Elizabeth!
Thank you so much for your responce and I have to say that I'm truly Amazed!
James and Constance were my grandparents, they had 3 children, Jayne, Richard and Robert, My father was Richard.
I am absolutely fascinated at what you've told me so far. I have the original marriage certificate for William Alfred and Anne Maria Pearce on August 29th 1899 residing at Handsworth Street, Newport and it states his father as James Greenland.
I found a reference for James Edwin who was sadly killed in the first world war at the age of 33 on 28th August 1918 (ref Newports war dead)
I cant wait to hear about any other information you may have!
kind regards
Adam

Hi all ,
I was browsing the internet by chance and came across these postings.
I believe that I am possibly descended from george greenland who was Mayor of Newport, Monmouthshire at the turn of the last century. I believe he owned Greenlands Laundry in Newport and also Greenlands Arcade in Newport town. I believe he had a son James who resided in pillgwelly in Newport in 1899 and was a master laundryman.His son Wiliam Alfred Greenland aged 24 (also a master laundryman) was married in Pillgwelly, Newport in 1899 to an Anne Maria Pearce 22.  I know little about the Greenland side of the family prior to this however. They had 3 Children, James, Zena and Phillipa. James was my grandfather and would have been born around  1908-9. Zena and Phillipa lived in Gloucester for most of their lives and died as spinsters.
I would be interested in hearing about any other information that anyone may know about my  family history.
