On the 1881 census that Mike found. Henry Greenland is the head, Maria his wife. Emily Sophia is dau of wife and Francis William, son of wife. Francis born Stroud but Emily born Frome, Somerset, as is Maria. I wonder if she was born before Maria married ???James.

Well done Mike, thank you for that. This is going to need a fair bit of investigating.
I wonder if Emily Sophia will provide the answers?
Presumably Maria Greenland was their mother.

Thank you Mike Margaret and Jim, especially Jim for finding Francis mistranscribed in 1881 - I had already come unstuck looking in 1881!
So seems like poor Francis lost his father as an infant?
