Wow thank you yonderpeasant and suttontrust for all this information!

Is it likely that Heavyside spelt with a 'y' is the same family as spelt with an 'i'?

The Harrison clan are interesting and I'd not even noticed that they lived on the same road as the Greethams! I'll keep investigating but if you folk find anything further please let me know!  Thanks!

Suttontrust is it Leith, Edinburgh your Willaimson's are from? I lived there for a couple of years.

I think you will find Heavyside same family under many variations this is quite usual and does create search problems.Sometimes it is a mistranscription problem but can be due to all sorts of things such as local accents where the H gets dropped or someone assumes the y is an i.Human errors in other words.Be prepared for anything and check everyrthing carefully.
