On the Kent Rootsweb board .............................................. James Green of St Laurence, Ramsgate, married Blanche Elizabeth Parkinson 1 July 1823, cant find where though. Remember reading somwhere he was a surgeon. They had four known children, all baptised St Laurence, Ramsgate William Clarke Green 1824-1878 Anne Clarke Green 1826-pre 1832?? Blanche Elizabeth Green 1827-1886 Anne Ellen Green 1832-? Blanche Elizabeth Parkinson was the eldest daughter of William Standway Parkinson and Anne Clarke. She died at St Laurence in 1867. James died pre 1861. William Clarke Green was according to his probate formerly a colonel in Her Majesty's Indian Army. He died at Cambria Cottage, St Laurence, Ramsgate, 21 Oct 1878. GRO Index gives his age as 54. The sole executrix of his estate was Harriett Elizabeth Batten, a widow of 5 Chatham Place, Ramsgate. Not sure of any family connection between her and WCG. She was Harriett Elizabeth Bolton born London 1803, that I could find and married John Ingram Batten in London about 1820. She was still alive in 1881 census at Chatham Place, aged 78, with one daughter Mary Ann aged 49. Anne Clarke Green we think died before 1832, with another daughter Anne being born that year. Blanche Elizabeth Green, the daughter, did not marry. She died 21 July 1886 at Brixton Surrey. In 1881 census she was living at 74 Vassal Road, Brixton, aged 52. Living with her at this time was an Edward Hennessy Tuttle, aged 50, described as her cousin. When he died in 1902 his address was still 74 Vassal Road. While trawling through some of the Medway parish records I came across the marriage in 1905 at Luton, Chatham, of an Edward Clarke Green to a Florence Nightingale. Clarke as a second name was fairly common with the surname Green so am not sure if there is a connection with the others or not. He was aged 29, a Lieut in the RN, father William Green. Could not find a birth in the indexes so he may have been born overseas. Anyone come across this family in their research. Ian C iclapham@ihug.co.nz -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
