Trying to find Green

Unknown Report 25 Jul 2004 20:28

I am looking for the descendants of James Green, a merchant, and his wife Ann, both probably born around 1807 in Lee, Kent; or of their son Walter J Green, a civil servant with the India Office, who was born about 1841 (had a twin sister Martha). Walter was married by about 1863 and his children were Louise, Katherine, Mary and Philip. The family lived in Croydon, Surrey. Walter's twin sister Martha was married twice, first to a Mr Stanton, and then in 1865 to William Henry Giesen. William and Martha adopted Charles Winchester Green Culling probably one of the illegitimate children of Walter; he was born 1862. His sister Ada Anne Green Culling was born August 1863 - they were among the four or five illegitimate children of Fanny Layton Culling. In the 1871 census, Ada is living with Walter's widowed mother, Ann Green, who is listed as her "grandmother". On William Giesen's accidental death in 1875, Martha went to live with her brother Walter and his family - Walter was widowed by then, and Charles, by then known as Charles Winchester Giesen, went to live with Ann Green and Ada. Any contacts please let me know. Thanks.
