The 1841 census for Ladbroke, Warwickshire (near Southam), listed John

in St. Thomas, Birmingham. She was born
28 Feb. 1842 in West Bromich, and died in 1922.
It is not certain that he was a son of John Greaves and Sarah
Giffin, although his mother was definitely named Sarah, as noted in the
paragraph for his parents. However,
this does seem to tie into the notation in a book at Jennie Kent’s house in
which Edward listed his birthdate as above, as well as his wife’s and
son’s. (R‑1)
