Personal Notes:
Henry Thomas Green 14.9.1834, baptised 26.10.1834 St Philips-14.3.1909 #1438 Gosford. Boat builder married 28.2.1856 at St Thomas, Nth Sydney to Esther Ann Matilda Sugden b. 14.6.1834 London-13.6.1894 #2451 St Leonards at 72 Alfred St Nth Sydney. Did Henry and his brother Robert marry at the same time in 1856…no registration of either marriage. Henry was listed as a boat builder at Alfred St., St Leonards east in the Sands Directory 1861. On 21 December 1871 in the Otago Daily Times, Henry Thomas Green, boatbuilder of Dunedin filed for bankruptcy on 12th December 1871 and had been declared insolvent on 8th January 1870. The situation improved for Henry in March 1878 when the Otago Rowing Club gave him an order for a new four-oared racing gig. The article mentioned that Henry was the builder of the well-known Isis. On 10th April, 1880, the Otago Daily Times reported on the Exhibition, the Sydney Morning Herald said “Upon visiting the NZ court, our aquatic men cannot help examining the admiring a handsome looking outrigger boat, built by Mr Henry T. Green, now of Dunedin. The article goes on to say that Henry said that he invented the rowlock in Sydney about 1860. Henry returned to Australia and resumed boat building in Lavender Bay in 1889-1902


Henry Thomas Green: Henry went over to New Zealand at the request of his father, George Green. George had purchased a lot of land from the Maories, land whiich included Stewart Island and some on the Bluff and other parcels in the Otargo area. This was being disputed by the government and when George died that was the end of the case. George had cancer in the arm and he died in 1872. Henry Thomas Green wrote a letter to his son Victor Herbert Green on the 9th June 1907 from Tenterfield as Follows:-

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
