A really huge thank you to all of you, so many things are now falling into place-- I have work to do on all of this but now you have found me the birth of Henry Barnard & the likely birth of John Harry. It is the Greek connection that makes me believe I will now be able to solve this long standing problem. John Harry's mother was Harriet & Sophia named the child born after John Harry's death Harriet.

I realy do appreciate all this help
Sincere Thanks
Vesta

I have made enormous progress in the last week but I think I may have uncovered another family scandal.
In the 1891 census living with Octavius Green is a William K. Green listed as his nephew age 14  born Kensington.
In the 1881 I have found a William K Green age 3  as a boarder in Ashbourne Derbyshire. My problem is I can't find his parents or even just his mother. He then just vanishes!
Guidence please.

Hi

I don't know who the William Green in Derbyshire was in 1881. As far as I can tell he has no connection at all. This family isn't likely to place their children with shoemakers. In 1881 the family appears to be in Montenegro.


These are details for William Cardell Kirby Green and his father William Kirby Mackenzie Green.

Both men seem to have spent a large part of their lives out of the country

WOW!! what can I say but a huge thank you. I have read this all through twice, but how is Octavius the Uncle to young William K. Green? Could the child born in Zante in 1823 of which as yet I do not have a name be William K son of Philip James?
I had just found an incoming passenger list of 1934 with a William K. Green & an Ada G Green, but didn't think they would fit!
Best set to work
My thanks again

Still struggling a bit. In the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography William Kirby Mackenzie Green b.1836 Nauplia - d.24 Feb 1891 Morocco. It says he was the son of Sir John Green d.1877 & his wife Margaret Suter. William married Mary Reade or Radle. They had 2 sons one called John Arthur.
Now Octavius Green was William's Nephew, executor to his Will, son of Philip J. Green. I have not been able to fit Sir John Green anywhere to my tree-- who was his father?? All these Sirs & Consuls don't quite fit with my na're do well John Harry Green. John Harry was one of 6 sons born to John  died 1825 (Paviors records) & Harriet Green--- it seems 3 did very well for themselves. But where does Sir John fit in??
Very Confused

Hi

I don't actually understand the connection either, but supplementing the information a little (not helped by the fact the family is constantly out of the country)


Green Lady Margaret daughter of the late George Suter Esq Married 1831 Sir John Green C.B. who died 1877

Debrett's baronetage and knightage 1879

and

Appletons' annual cyclopaedia and register of important events, Volume 16

Sir William Kirby Green, KCMG, British Minister to Morocco, died suddenly ... He was a son of Sir John Green, for many years Consular-General at Bucharest,

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XKoYAAAAIAAJ&q=kirby+%22sir+john+green%22&dq=kirby+%22sir+john+green%22&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&num=100&as_brr=0&cd=4


FO 32/110 Consuls Richard Wilkinson, Anthony N. Vitalis, John Green, Horatio B. Suter, Foreign various and Consular Domestic. 1841.


There is still of course the problematic baptism of John Green in 1808
