After much research, I have at last manged to connect Stephen
Greenway of
Filmore to George
Greenway. From a
Utah digital newspaper date October 23rd 1898, there is a small paragraph asking for the whereabouts of Stephen
Greenway and George
Greenway. The enquirer was my Grandfather, George
Greenway in Thornaby on
Tees,
England. The address given is correct. George
Greenway in Filmors was his
Uncle and Stephen was his brother.
From
Uk 1881 census, Stephen was in an industrial school on the "Special" register. He was being educated purposely to be sent to Canada. Stepehn was discharged from the school on his 16th birthday and the next day he sailed from Liverpool to Canada. The school records show he was working in Toronto for a little while. I lost track of him until he turned up in
Filmore amrried to Jane Wade. I always felt that there was a connection, as my Grandfather had named one of his sons Stephen.
I have only managed to trace four "
Greenaway" brothers,all born in
London. The other three settled in Teeside earning a living in the steel industry.
They were, Joseph William,George,Albert.
I would love to forward Stephen's early years story and a copy of what few records I hold, onto his decendants, it is an interesting story. It would be wonderful if there was a photo, I have one of the other three.
