The first surviving census for all Ireland is 1901 (it and 1911 census are online free).

See reply #2 in MONAGHAN RESOURCES to see what census records and substitutes for Monaghan might survive-

Griffiths Valuation (c 1850s) has no Green surnames but there are similar ones - Greenan and Greene.

Coincidentally, there are Greenans in Lecklevera (Civil Parish Killeevan)

Both places say Resident above the placename.

Added- looks like a phoentic spelling of Lecklevera townland (this was suggested earlier)

If you are searching in the civil registration index for births or marriages which took place in Lecklevera they will be listed under the registration district (Monaghan) rather than the actual townland.

Hint: to find registration district for a townland go to http://www.thecore.com/seanruad  and do search for the townland- this will show the Poor Law Union which is almost always the registration district.
