Hi there, I am getting a bit frustrated with the GREEN side of my family. i don't seem to be getting anywhere at all. My Grandfather was Derek John GREEN Born 31/01/1936 in Chinnor oxon. He married Irene May Jinks (my nan). Now My grandads dad was Donald Alban GREEN born 1909 Banbury oxon. He married a Marjorie Young in 1935 (no year of birth for her). They also had another son John Green (Dereks brother) At this point i am stuck. My Nan says that Donalds dad was called Reuben GREEN (not sure of spelling). Now i have done some checks and i have found a Reuben GREEN in one of the census' in Bloxham (where i live now) but my nan is adament that this isn't a relation. I can't find another Reuben GREEN that fits. I'm starting to think he doesn't exist!!! My nan's thinks most of the GREENs came from the Oxfordshire area but i'm not 100% sure. PS. My nan also mentioned she remembered Donald having a sister Brenda and a brother Stewart (not sure of spelling). Any help would be great!!! Thanks Jess x
