Has anyone got any connection with the Green family?
looking for the descendants of the children of Henry William Green b.1829 Bethnal Green. He married Amelia Margaret Unknown b.1841 St Lukes Parish London.
Their children were Herbert Charles b.1863 Islington
Arthur Harding b.1868 Wanstead/ Robert Alfred b.1870-1918 Wanstead/ Frederick Dawes b.1873 Wanstead/ Elizabeth Fanny b.1875 Wanstead/ Percy Harrison b.1877 Wanstead.

Would love to hear from anyone who is connected to these people.
Robert Alfred Green married Ruby Rosetta Webster b.1880-1926.
They had a child Hubert Webster Green b,1909-1938.
Hubert married Rose Jean Hill b.1911-1989,
they had Eric Webster Green b, 1929 (my grandfather) and Peter Green b.1930.

My Grandad and his brother were bought up in a foster home as they were abandoned by their mother and their father was ill.
He would love to find out more about his family. I I've been able to trace them all back to the cencus, but would like to find out more. Or would love to hear from people connected.
