A New Web Site

Since I have now retired, I have chosen to use this web site to document my Family History.

Anyone else can freely view most material on people who are no longer living and contribute to the more general stories. To open my Family Tree outside this frame in a new window select here

Earliest mentions of Greens in Kingsthorpe

In 1883 the vicar of Kingsthorpe created a list of old documents, and excerpts from some, in a book called:
Kingsthorpiana or Researches in a Church Chest
I have extracted all mentions of the name Green from this book. I have also included early Greens from the Kingsthorpe parish register.

If anyone has any more information on early Greens in Kingsthorpe I would be very grateful if they could contact me.
