London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Edward Frederick Green, painter of portraits and exotic topics

I read the various notes about Edward Frederick Green with interest - I'm compiling a dictionary of students at the Royal Academy of Arts in London c.1769-1830, and can confirm that EFG was a student at the RA, rather successfully so.
His name appears in the records as Frederick Edward Green / E.F. Green
He was admitted as a probationary student, 11 January 1822, and registered as a full student 4 April 1822, aged 21, painting - this confirms the birth date (clearly not the 1767 given in some sources). He was admitted to the life drawing school on 29 November 1822, and won a Silver medal in 1826, for a copy made in the painting school.
From the posts, I take it that his father, John Green, was a Levant merchant, and that Green lived largely in Malta and was vice-consul at Tunis. It would be great to be able to confirm his death date - I had identified him with the Edward F. Green 'artist' who was a visitor in Kent in the 1861 census, stated to be 60, but unmarried.
