PS I've only ever come one other Greenwell outside the North East of

My great-grandfather, Henry Nicholas Greenwell, left Greenwell Ford
around 1850 for Australia, finally settling in Hawaii. Anything sound
familiar?

I had to look it up - I was born 15miles away in Sunderland and had never
heard of Greenwell Ford. Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll have a look in
the family history files my wife has put together. It's certainly in the
right part of the NE, not far from Easington and the Durham coalfields
