Hi,
I am looking for any information/relatives about Mark Green who is my great great Uncle. He was born at West Stanley, Co. Durham in 1889 and had brothers Thomas Henry Green and John James Green plus sisters Elizabeth and Eliza. He married Ethel temple in 1913.
The brothers John James and Mark moved to Nottingham just after WWI and I believe Mark had a son William who joined the police. Also I believe William may have had a son who was a newsreader on the TV, his name was Michael.
Any help would be welcome.
Many thanks,
Russ

I have recently found out through a relative that his full name was

Mark Augustus Thornton Green

I was hoping that being an unusual name this might help with any further information. I also wondered if he served in WWI? His brothers did, John James Green won the MM as a Tunneller.

Thanks for this, the 1891 IS him as my g grandfather was Thomas Henry Green. And I now know where Mark died which is a bonus.

The full name has come from my cousin who has found the marriage certificate

'Have got 2 cert.1 marriage, 1 birth.
Mark Augustus Thornton Green married Ethel Temple on 19th Nov. 1913. He was 22. She was 26.She lived at Silksworth. He was a miner at Easington Colliery.
William was born in DEC.1914 IN Easington. Father was Mark and mother Ethel.'

Thanks again for you help,

Russ

Hi,

I am trying to order the death certificate for my great grandfather, Thomas Henry Green and cannot seem to find him on the BMD site. I wondered if anyone could help. His details are...

Thomas Henry Green, born 1879 at Willington / Brancepeth Colliery, County Durham. He died I believe in Shotton Colliery, Co. Durham on 14/07/1922 as a result of contracting malaria whilst fighting in Salonika during WWI.

Many thanks,

Russ
