The information on this site was gathered from many sources . I must specially mention Free BMD which is a first call for births, marriages and deaths and costs you nothing, a great thank you to their wonderful voluntary transcribers. I recommend also the Genealogist which is a pay by view site for census information, which is complete to1901 for every county and every census, more transcriptions are being added all the time; A must visit for census information. I hope I have named all those people who have helped me so much. Any inaccuracies and omissions are completely down to me, and any one who has better and more accurate information regarding these ancestors of mine. Please E-mail me.

THE GREENFIELDS.
The earliest researched Greenfield was a Frederick who married a RICHARDSON. Frederick was shown as a surgeon on the marriage certificateof his son. The main player in this family was Frederick William Richardson Greenfield (their son). Frederick joined the Royal Navy, and remained in the Navy all his life. Reading between the lines his wife, Harriet Springett from Essex was a mainstay of this family. The family was Essex based after the marriage. To View the Greenfield family tree, click here.
THE LAUGHTONS.
This is where my research started. My father left me some documentation and some family legends. The origins of the family were in the Orkney Islands at Kirkwall. But the first member of the family I have found was born in London around 1830. So some way yet to go to prove the origins. The story said that the original family were sailmakers but were bankrupted with the arrival of steam, not true, the Laughtons originally were smiths (tin and iron). However a Laughton married a MADDEN maiden and the Maddens were involved in sailmaking in London. Researching the family indicates the trend of the time, starting in London's East End and down the generations moving out to the leafy suburbs of Essex. For the Laughton origins Click Here.
THE MADDENS.
Thanks to Lesley Worstencroft and Lorraine Lawson, the amount of information on these families is vast. The lead member in my family is Sarah Ann Madden who married the first John General LAUGHTON. I am desperately attempting to find a Mary Ann? known to my father as Aunt Polly. More legend, a racy lady? In our family!? However I have no proof that this lady existed at all!

There are many more families involved in my history and they are to be found in the directory. Many facts need to be teased out further. In the LAUGHTON dynasty the middle forename GENERAL is used through two generations. This was the forename of John Laughton's father-in-law General WADE. His father was also named General but was a fisherman in Brightlingsea. In the BRIGGS dynasty the middle forename Bass appears three times. Presumably a maiden name of a forebear not yet found? To avoid confusion, the ancestors with the same forenames are listed in date order and are number superscripted
