GREEN family from Sudbury/Long Melford

[Keeweegal]

Hi all from a hot humid Western Australia. 

I am currently working on the GREEN side of my Tree and with a few exceptions,  it hasn't been easy.   I have Abishai Greens,  Ewin Greens and many more.

My problem is that some of them of used their middle names looking on some census and sometimes their christian names.    By some MIRACLE there wouldn't be anyone in Suffolk researching the same names/s  Please?  that may be able to put me straight.   

Many thanks in advance.

Hi ya Suz 

They are the culprits 

Prime example,  James A Green,  is really Abishai James Green.  He had a son called Ewin Lenton Green b 1812 Sudbury,  He in turn married Elizabeth Thompson.   They had a son called Ewin Lenton Green born 1840 born St Giles, London,   however on some of the census from London,  I picked up that he called himself Edwin and Edward.    He is supposed to have married a Rebecca Brightman,  but I think from memory I can only find a Phoebe.   Why can't they leave their names as is.......    I guess I am a bit HIGH MAINTENANCE today.

This could be bigger than Ben Hur? 

I am also trying to find the surname of Abishai's wife Elizabeth,  I am sure that would tie up loose ends with various names.

Thanks

I think possibly Ewin lenton called himself by his correct name -however it seems the enumerators misheard -and sometimes it was mistranscried.

It seems Ewin Linton 1840 first married mary Ann

Hi Ya

Thanks for the info so far....didn't have the last details,  so I hope my brain puts it into perspective.   

I am expecting some certificates from GRO this coming week,  so I am hoping the details confirm what I have so far.  Thanks again for your time.   

Also,  just a thought.....going back to Abishai James Green and his wife Elizabeth,  you see on the census they have a child by the name of Ellen,  age 7 in 1841,  seeing Elizabeth is about age 54,  wouldn't that make her too old to have that child?   

What do you think? 

Cheers again

Elizabeth wouldnt necessarily be too old -she would be abt 46/7 when Ellen was born - my Grandmother was 47 when my father was born (and his dad was 60!)

1881 -don't know where little ewin Liton was

So it seems Ewin lenton Green 1840

they had a son Ewin Lenton 1869

mary Ann died 1880

a few months later Ewin Linton c1840 married rebecca brightman

Edwin Linton c 1840 died between end Dec 1888-mar 1889

widowed rebecca lived with stepson Ewin Lintn green b.1869

Possibly a marriage for Ewin Linton b.1869
