She was born c 1900 and lived in Shredberg (?) Road, Edmonton, the daughter of THOMAS ARTHUR GREENWOOD and KATE THIRZA GREENWOOD (nee SOUTHWICK). The BRIGGS family were living in Bevan Road, Cockfosters, in 1939 when Doris was the informant for the death of her paternal grandmother Maria Christiana Greenwood (nee Kemp). Thomas Arthur was one of four surviving children of THOMAS GREENWOOD and MARIA CHRISTIANA KEMP. His brothers were WILLIAM, GEORGE and ALBERT. All the Greenwood men were either fishmongers or fish porters. Maria Christiana Kemp was the youngest child of JAMES KEMP, a printer, born 1793 London, and SARAH SUSANNA MARTIN, born London c 1814, who was the daughter of MINTAM MARTIN and SARAH OSBORNE. Thanks, Carolyn
