When asked by the Bishop of London if he believed in baptism, Greenwood replied that he did. Asked if he did not have a son unbaptised, Greenwood replied that

his son Abel (11½ years old) was unbaptised but he had been in prison and was unable to take his son to a reformed church where he could be baptised according to God's ordnance

No

    Of Pecket Well.

    A gravestone at Heptonstall Church records

    In memory of William G. of Pecketwell, who was found dead at Bridgewell head in Wadsworth, on the 14th day of August, 1820. He was forsaken by a bad wife, who enforced him to serve His Majesty, in the 3rd York Militia for eight years. He left a girl aged 16 years, to be cozened by her mothering father out of his money; his own father deposed for felony; his own brother James G who was arraigned before a magistrate for his raiment, which he had bequeathed to him before his death, in the presence of two witnesses
    
    His thread of life now spun,
    His age near thirty-four years;
    And in his trade dropped down,
    And left this vale of tears
    
    James Greenwood stone. T.G.

    Upon the upper side of the same stone

    T. G. Heare lyeth the body of Henery Clayton, who departed the 24 June 1650. E.N. Feb. 9, 1695.

    Sirs, Having seen in the "Advertiser" dated July 5th, that any Todmorden soldier in need of a concertina could have one by applying to your office.

I think the last one we had was lost when we went into action in March, and we have been unable to get one since.

    My address is as follows:

    Pte. W. Greenwood,
    21217, 18 Platoon, D Co.,
    1st 10th Manchester Regiment.

    By the way, I may say, I keep seeing a few of the lads from the old town, as the Lanc. Fus. are in our division, and we are able when time and Fritz permits to have a talk of the old town.

    My address is as follows:

    Pte. W. Greenwood,
    21217, 18 Platoon, D Co.,
    1st 10th Manchester Regiment.

    By the way, I may say, I keep seeing a few of the lads from the old town, as the Lanc. Fus. are in our division, and we are able when time and Fritz permits to have a talk of the old town.

I think the last one we had was lost when we went into action in March, and we have been unable to get one since.

    My address is as follows:

    Pte. W. Greenwood,
    21217, 18 Platoon, D Co.,
    1st 10th Manchester Regiment.

    By the way, I may say, I keep seeing a few of the lads from the old town, as the Lanc. Fus. are in our division, and we are able when time and Fritz permits to have a talk of the old town.
