Elizabeth GREEN's paternal great grandfather, William GREEN senior was born in 1771 at Barton on Humber, LIN, and married Mary SMITH in 1804 at Winterton LIN. Mary was one of the five children of Thomas and Mary SMITH.
William senior and Mary (née SMITH) GREEN had seven children, all baptised at Winterton LIN:
1. John GREEN (1805-1872).
2. William GREEN junior (1806-1895).
3. Hannah GREEN (1807-1807).
4. George GREEN (1809-).
5. Smith GREEN (1814-1815).
6. Smith GREEN (1815-1816).
7. Henry GREEN (1817-1817).
William GREEN junior became an agricultural labourer and married Ann HARE on 13 June 1825 at Broughton LIN.
They had ten children and except for the first child, all were baptised in Broughton by Brigg:
1. George GREEN (1827-1830) baptised at Winterton and buried in Broughton.
2. Hannah GREEN (1830-1830).
3. Jane GREEN (1831-bef 1881).
4. George Martin GREEN (1833-).
5. William GREEN the younger (1836-).
6. Mary GREEN (1838-).
7. Hannah GREEN (1842-1854).
8. John GREEN (1844-) an ironstone miner, married Susannah and in 1881, lived in Broughton School Houses with their six children.
9. Francis GREEN (1847-) also an ironstone miner, married Ellen and lived in Appleby Road, Broughton during the 1880s.
10. And bringing up the rear was Fanny GREEN (1850-).
Jane GREEN, daughter of William junior and Ann (née HARE), gave birth to an illegitimate child, our Elizabeth, in the Brigg Union Workhouse on 20 November 1849. Two years later, Elizabeth was living with her grandparents, William junior and Ann (née SMITH) GREEN while her twenty year old mother, Jane, worked as a house servant for an Elsham farmer, aptly named, Fields DUNN. In 1854, Jane GREEN married Richard Beadman DRIVER, an agricultural labourer and they had eight children.
Elizabeth GREEN does not appear to have lived with her mother, Jane and her stepfather, Richard DRIVER, but stayed with her grandparents. In 1869, when Elizabeth was twenty and single, she, too, had an illegitimate daughter whom she named Alice GREEN.
William GREEN junior died in 1895, just days before his ninetieth birthday . His wife, Ann (née HARE) had already died ten years previously.
On 26 June 1872 at Broughton by Brigg, Elizabeth GREEN, daughter of Jane GREEN, married John PARISH and in 1883, they became the parents of Lily Maud PARISH, my paternal grandmother.
