I have a slight possibility of a link to the family of Francis Greenway the ex convict who was transorted to Australia in about 1814 and became a magnificant architect. He was born c.1777 in Mangotsfield Gloucestershire. Can anyone enlighten me on any family. I am looking for a link to a Henry Olive Greenway born in Mangotsfield Glos c 1806.
Thankyou.

Online Australian biography - has his parents.  You just need to go back with the parents of your Henry and see if there is a link there.

Hi dlbendigo :)

Welcome to rootschat. :)

The request was made nine years ago ;)

A subscription is required to access the tree you have linked.  Online trees should always be treated with caution unless the information is well referenced and sources cited.

I haven't looked at the link.  Hopefully the OP will be notified of your message.

Cheers :)
