Hello List, Ann has very kindly sent me Lettice Greenish and family living in Charles Street, Steynton and James Greenish plus family living at Gallinwick(?) Farm, Hubberstone Charles St Steyton Lettice Greenish W 63 Landed Proprietor B Walton West Robert " son S 35 Hebrandstone--blind from small pox Martha L " dau " 33 " Elizabeth " " " 28 " Maria Davies servant " 19 Haverfordwest Gallinwick(?) Hubberstone James Greenish 34 farmer 500 acres Hebrandstone Mary E B " 34 wife Roach George P " 5 son Milford Robert " 4 " Haverfordwest Samuel K " 2 " Hubberstone and 5 servants--including a nurse and a nursemaid It's interesting that Lettice gives her place of birth as Walton West in 1871, this is where she was married in 1830 and is closer Lambston where her sister Mary Davies is thought to have been born. So now I'm looking for the birth of a Lettice Davies c.1807 in Walton West rather than Milford. I think I have found James' son George Greenish, christened George James Greenish 17 Oct 1865 St Mary, Haverford West; father George James Greenish and mother Mary Elizabeth Bassett. This son died in 1884 aged 18. James' wife Mary died in 1873 ( in FreeBMD Mary Elizabeth B. Greenish), maybe she died following the birth of Francis who was born that year. It's a bit of a puzzling that George's father's name is given as George James rather than just James. I wonder if Bassett was Mary Elizabeth's surname or one of her first names? perhaps after her marriage she added her maiden name to her married name? Can anyone tell me anything about her birth place ''Roach''? Sally --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Dear Sally, As promised.... extract from Major Francis Jones' article on Gelliswick "It seems that his family" (that of the tenant Henry Palmer of Carew) "continued there a few years more, but by 1861 James Greenish, previously farming at Neeston, had taken over Gelliswick. He was succeeded in 1867 by his son, also named James, who married Mary Elizabeth Bassett Harries of Hilton in Roch Parish. He farmed the property till his death in 1899 when he was followed by his son Robert Picton Greenish who did not remain there long. In 1910 Mr. John Belton and his sister Cordelia took over Gelliswick". The Major, being the late Welsh Herald of Arms Extraordinary is usually most reliable.....and at least it gives you bases for further research. As to the "George" placed before the names James Greenish in your research.....maybe they just did not like it and dropped it from general use!
