John came to NSW in Australia about 1840 amd married 1842. Hi I don'tknowif it will be any help to you but Green is very much a name found in Dore Village which is now in Sheffield. I think at the time you are looking it was probably in Derbyshire. It may help you to look for them in the 12841 census for that area.
