Your g-g-grandfather was not the one in the army - it was his father who may have been. Richard may have been born when his English father was stationed in Ireland.

Father – Richard Greaves

Mother – Maria Lambert

Wife – Elizabeth Gunn (1852-1943)
Married 27 Aug 1872, Bendigo

Information from another web-site. Accuracy is unknown:
His Father was born 10 September1795. Liverpool England, died 22 May 1872. 69 Chester Square, London. Maried Maria Lambert. He was a General in the Army. May have spent part of his Army career in New Orleans America. An explanation of DE-GREAVES - there were two Greaves families (not related) both had businesses in Echuca. Richard was a hairdresser. Both were well known in the community and to save confusion Richard was referred to as D Greaves the D being short for Dick which of course is a common nick name for Richard. DE-GREAVES was a common name in Britian where Richard was born. Played french horn in the Victoria Park Brass Band Echuca.
