Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Devonport/Plymouth Record Office - GREENEY

My dad was a Grinney named Albert George, born 1910, he lived in the Stoke Damarel area of Plymouth, I believe he had a sister that died also possibly his mother, I think his step mother was from Wales so not sure if for some reason his father had lived there?  I believe his father was in the navy so could account for the difficulty your having, I do not know a great deal about them but happy to share what I do know.

Hi, yes my gran was Violet Hilda Roscrow wow, I did some research last night and Annie was her mother and William, correct he was from Morice town and yes a cook, is this a connection to your family tree?  If so I have a photo of Annie and William, I was told Annie had another daughter called Lillian who died in childhood maybe around 11 years old.

Not sure if your still looking but, my grandmother's family were called Roscrow originally from Cornwall but moved to Devonport I believe after my gran was born circa 1895. I have not done any real research on her side of the family but, Lillian is a firm family name, its possible my great grandparents names were William and Annie born around 1870.  I found some letters after my gran died, so I know my great grandfather was in the Royal Navy and left in 1911, he then went into the fleet auxiliary, hope that is of some help.

A very big thank you, yes that is my grandfather, the past few days have been somewhat emotional by one the help I have received on this forum by very kind people like yourself and also finding this information out about his family.  In 1911 he ran away from home, from what he said due to he poverty and joined the British Army to get a meal each day and have a solid pair of boots, as many other dear Irish boys did during this time.  I am looking to trace direct descendants and would love to pay them a visit, I have always been told I am so much like him so it would be interesting to meet members of the family and see if we share common traits.  Once again so very grateful you took the time to help.   :) :) :)

Thank you I have corrected the date of his birth, yes I know from the 1911 UK census when he arrived in England, also it showed what regiment he was in and where he was from so that helped a lot.  Yes, he married in 1915 to my grandmother who was from St Austell in Cornwall, I will be applying for a copy of the marriage certificate, hopefully that will provide me with his parents names.  It would be nice as I was very close to him, I was 12 years old when he died but we used to have long chats, he was a wonderful story teller however, he never spoke of his family I guess really would love to know more about where he really came from.  Thanks once again for your help.

Trying to trace my grandfathers family, I know he left the area in 1911 as he joined the British Army and enlisted in the  Leinster Regiment,  I would so dearly like to hear from living relatives who could provide information on his family.   He died in the UK in 1969 and, not a day passes without missing him still,  hope someone can help.
