GREENWOOD, Joseph

GREENWOOD, Joseph. ß Щ      Although shown as Joseph on the Bible Class board, it has not been possible find anything of Joseph’s military involvement, b 1882 at Glossop. Son of Albert Greenwood b 1861 Glossop, and Emily (née Higginson – although called Newton when she was born) b Hathersage, and he married Minnie Winterbottom (Josiah’s wife’s sister) b Outseats. On both the 1901C (living in Norfolk) and 1911C Joseph is listed as a railway contractor. The reference to Joseph on the Bible Board probably should read Josiah. The confusion probably arose because of a mistake by the military records where the service medal and award rolls show Josiah Greenwood Dvr 72017 RFA, and Pioneer 197143 RE (which would fit with Josiah being a Navvy) and the same numbers & regiments appear on the medals list for Joseph Greenwood.
