Staffordshire / Re: Greatrex Stafford lost records?
« on: Wednesday 08 March 17 23:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello my name is Lee Greatrex and I have just read all your messages on here. I live in Stone near Stafford and I a descendant of Thomas Stocklidge Greatrex. I too have been searching for William married to Catharine Smith born about 1805. I do know a little more, he passed away in 1858 I think, I am sure I have his death certificate. Catherine remarried and went to live in Cannock, look up Cathrine Greatrex on the 1851 census. She and her new husband who I have forgotten his name had several children. I have a relative who thinks William came from Longdon but there is no evidence to prove he did. I have been to the record office and looked at the parish records a few years ago and could only find one entry that could be him but he has no dad. I tried to look for his mum but not easy to read the transcribed info. Williams son William ran the wagon and horses pub and his son Walter ran the Stafford coach business. He went to live in Florida and I am in touch with his descendants on Facebook.
My email address is (*) and would really like to hear from you and if I can help I'd gladly. I think checking the apprentice records is a great idea. I am sure if we go into the record office with all the info we have the kind people in there would gladly help. It may take all day but I am sure that we could find where and when William snr was born and hopefully his parents. I have discovered Catharines parents. John Smith. I can give you access to my ancestry tree if you wish? My great granddad was Frank Thomas Greatrex who was Thomas s Greatrex grandson, but on the 1911 census sais son. His mum was Edith Greatrex and Edwin Pugh and he came from London. I have a photo of Thomas and one of William and his family in the pub. All the best and look forward to hearing from you.
