Greenwood One Name Study Researching the GREENWOOD name globally, but starting small in the UK

I started researching my own Greenwood ancestry in 1997 and soon found that Greenwood's are a lot more common than I thought! After hitting the proverbial brick wall with my own research, I expanded my scope to include any Greenwoods resident in North London, and then a couple of years later added the whole of London when I next got stuck. Finally I’ve succumbed to collecting information on any UK

Greenwood and registered my interest with the Guild of One Name Studies – this now means I’m officially collecting data on absolutely ANY Greenwood worldwide. Obviously any assistance in collecting this data and joining up family trees would be much appreciated! :-)

These oscillations drive the glymphatic system by powering the coordinated movement of cerebrospinal fluid a...

Alfred George GREENWOOD
KIA 19.3.1915 - 10.4.1917

He's not one of mine, and it's a bit expensive for me, but I'm fascinated by those dates. Presumably a 2yr old wouldn't have got a death penny, so it must be a range of dates? Gallipoli?

Original WW1 death penny mounted on beautiful white oak. If you prefer just the plaque without the wood I can remove it for you. This is the final lot of plaques for sale.

Is it a bike or a car? With descriptions like "that infamous sidecar", I'll let you decide! :-o

I can't easily find any dates/details for him, but is he in your tree?

It is bound in shiny blue cloth, which I suspect is not the original. The book is in used and worn condition, with the binding nice and tight, but the front hinge of the spine almost totally cracked.

A bit random, but someone sent me this during the week - any clues? The quote seems reasonably famous, but can't see a link with GREENWOOD?

It's "Greenwood related", but I'll not be buying one (y)

Every time I see a list of names, I have to check (y) Popped into the INTERNATIONAL BOMBER COMMAND CENTRE in Lincoln earlier in the week. Does anyone recognise any of these brave souls?

How comes I've never noticed Bruce GREENWOOD, but have watched him in films a few times and recognise the face!

From Mike Flanagan to Kingsman, Bruce Greenwood loves to be bad!
