Avril Burrows says...
Now you'll be wondering what a Burrows is doing on this site! Well, when I was going through my late mother's box of interesting bits (we all have them you know) I found a death card relating to a member of the Greatorex family.
Avril if you see Davids book, my sister Sylvia greatorex married a Burrows from Widnes. So there is a Another Greatorex / Burrows.
It says
Death Card
"In loving memory of Sidney George Beloved husband of Lilian E Greatorex who died November 1st 1925 Aged 31 years - Interred in private grave at Witton Cemetery"
A bit of digging has revealed that he was born in Aston Manor, Birmingham in 1894 the son of John Alf (b 1859 Dudley) and Matilda (b 1861 Bishops Castle) Greatorex.
I am looking for a possible connection to the Ridley family who came from the Aston/Newton/Lozells area. They were heavily involved in the pearl button trade as were many in that area.
Hope you can help
