Hi Peter,

Thanks for your message (below).

Your telling me that the Reginald Greenham on your tree married an ancestor of yours, Phyllis Type, has been helpful. I have some information about this Reginald which I shall set out shortly. But I am still trying to find a link between Reginald (and his ancestors) with 'my' Greenhams orignating in Norton sub Hamdon (NSH), Somerset. I feel sure it is just a matter of time, however, because the clues are there.

I have accessed your family history website - thank you - and have extracted the information about Phyllis Type and her parents. If I ever need any more I now know where to look. Thanks for that.

The information I have obtained on Reginald Greenham came from his son Alan Gilbert Greenham just a few days ago. He has only basic info however, having left his Bristol home when aged 17 and gone to sea. He returned to Bristol when all known close relations had either died or had cut off contact (for reasons unknown, and I don't know Alan well enough yet to press him on this; there are other details I should like to ask him for first) and he moved to Hull. He seems now to have just occasional contact with one or two members of his family - they exchange Christmas cards, and no more!

'Your' Reginald, Reginal Gilbert Greenham, was born about 1914 or 1915 at Bristol, and married Phyllis Type in about 1948 as his second wife, and they had a son, Kelvin Greenham, born about 1950. So he is someone you may wish to add to your data. If I subsequently find out more about him I shall let you know. Reginald's first wife was Kathleen Palmer (no details yet) and they had a son, Alan Gilbert Greenham, born in 1934 in Bristol (my current contact).

Reginald Gilbert Greenham's father was Arthur Gilbert Greenham (b 1881 or 1882 Bristol), a commercial clerk, who married Ethel White. Arthur and Ethel had 5 children:

Dennis Greenham; Reginald Gilbert Greenham; John ('Jack') Greenham; Vera Greenham (now died); Joan Greenham. All were born in Bristol. No dates yet.

Arthur Gilbert Greenham's father was Walter Gilbert Greenham (b about 1852 Evercreech, Somerset), a tailor, who married Emily J someone (b about 1852 Taunton). They had 6 children:

Ethel E Greenham (b abt 1880 Bristol); Walter P(ercy?) Greenham (b abt 1884 Bristol); Frederick B(ernard?) Greenham (b abt 1888 Chiselborough, Somerset); Ernest E Greenham (b abt 1890 Chiselborough); Lilian E(lsie?) Greenham (b abt 1893 Chiselborough).

Walter and Emily started their family in Bristol, moved to Chiselborough for a few years, and then returned to Bristol. As he was a tailor in Bristol, where there must have been plenty of work opportunities, I am curious as to why the family should have moved to Chiselborough for a few years - Chilseborough is only a village and I doubt there would have been adequate work for a tailor with a growing family. But this is where the clues to possible connection with the NSH Greenhams lie: Chiselborough is adjacent to Norton sub Hamdon, and both villages had Greenhams living there for centuries (there are still one or two living there today). Furthermore, you will have noticed that I have listed a line of four generations of Greenhams having Gilbert as their middle name. The only other Gilbert Greenham of Somerset which I have in my enormous database of Greenhams, was living at Chiselborough a few years earlier, having been born at Norton sub Hamdon. This is quite a coincidence, and the only thing that 'spoils' things is the fact that (according to the 1881 census) Walter Gilbert Greenham was born at Evercreech, some 15 miles distant.

I am hoping to find the link, of course. Would you be interested in due course?

Thanks once more for responding positively.

Best wishes,

Robert.
