Our trip to Grenfell went well but we didn't have any time to research the JGG line.I am a direct descendant of John & Susannah that migrated to Australia in 1865 & 1868 respectively.Their third and youngest son, James is my great grandfather.
I have not been able to establish a link between my line and that of JGG.From the information I have JGG's family name changed from Grenfield to Grenfell in the mid to late 1700s.Similarly my family name changed from Greenfield to Grenfell in the early 1700s.
Although the two lines came from Cornwall, I have not been able to establish a connection.Adrian Eddy has three separate Grenfell lines recorded on his web site.No doubt they are connected but the connections are buried in history.
I will send you a gedcom of my family line.Perhaps when you compare it with your information you may find a connection with your own.
Best regards,
Dennis Grenfell
