	Samuel Greaves and Margaret had 8 children between 1805 and 1828, including John in 1809.
	Margaret Greaves is listed in the 1841 census aged 55 and born (c. 1785) in Yorkshire.		W_1848

	Margaret Hunsley daughter of John Hunsley of Millgate, supervisor and Mary was baptised in Wigan on 14 December 1784, born 19 November.		B_1784
	So the mother of John Greaves (20),
	Margaret Hunsley (41), born in 1784 in Wigan,
	married to Samuel Greaves (40) in 1805 in Flamborough,
	died in 1848 in Knaresborough, was the daughter of

	I have not yet been able to locate John Hunsley's baptism around 1732, nor found any trace of his mother Elizabeth Hilbert.
	So the father of Margaret Hunsley (41),

	married to Mary Hopwood (83) in 1762 in Leeds,		PP_83
	died in 1818 in York, was the son of
