Trying to find Thomas Green - Ivory Turner & Photographer
« on: Thursday 01 May 14 14:36 BST (UK) »
I wonder if any ancestry detectives can help me.
I looking for the family of Thomas Green and have very little to go on.
He appears as an Ivory Turner and Photographer at (No. 36) High Street, Stratford, Essex in the Post Office Directory from abt 1862 until 1878.

The only match I can find is a Thomas Green (aged 21) born abt 1870? in Birmingham Warwickshire. Ivory & Bone Turner, Employed.
The son of widow - Emma Green (born: abt 1844 in Birmingham, Warwickshire). He and 2 brothers and 1 sister are at 49 Great Charles Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire (1891).

Any assistance appreciated

If he's in an 1862 directory you're looking for someone born prior to 1842.
Ivory & bone turning for the button making trade was a big business in B'ham, at one time employing several 1000's.So you'll find lots of them there.

Sorry that census transcription for 5 China Row was 1861, not 1871. Now corrected.

So that William Green at 36 High Street in 1871 could be the son of Thomas
