The GREEN family of Bedfordshire

[effagee]

Hi

I am descended from Benjamin Green b Thurleigh 1810, who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1847. He had a brother William who emigrated to the US, and one (maybe 2?) brothers and some sisters who stayed in Bedfordshire. Their parents were Richard and Mary.

A lot of the tree is documented in 'A Green Tree' which I have seen mentioned in other threads and I was lucky enough to be given a copy 20 years ago.

I would like to contact other members of the tree-  I'm sure there is much to know of our family beyond this document.

[Benjamin Green]

I too am a descended from Benjamin Green.

He arrived with his son, William Green (who I am also descended from), and other family in Adelaide, South Australia. They were aboard the ship named "Mariner".

Are you living in Adelaide?

Hi - I am descended from William via his son George Worden Green. I am part of the rogue branch that stayed in Victoria after the family went back to Adelaide, so I am in Melbourne. Have been over to Adelaide several times in recent years and visited the cemetery in Hindmarsh.
