The Greenham Family of Merriott

The first mention of this surname in the Merriott records was comparatively late, compared with many others.  On 8 August 1764 a Margaret GRINHAM married John SHUTLER.   This couple went on to have many descendents in Merriott.  (see SHUTLER page).

The first mention of a GREENHAM family as such was the baptisms in Merriott of several children of Joseph GREENHAM of Crewkerne, and  Joan MITCHELL.  The couple married in Merriott in 1801.
