Good morning Alexander
Well, the Phillip James Green that I have ( with Records) was b. 2 Jan 1797 in Newington. He became a Consul for The Levant Trading Co: ( similar to The East India Co). The Levant Co. traded around Greece, Turkey & the Islands & the British representative in charge was known as Consul. Do a search on The Levant Co.
He married Frances Dorothea Larking in Paris on 11 July 1820. They had 8 children.
Philip James parents were John Green & Harriet STANIFORTH. In fact, Staniforth comes up as a middle or first name in following generations.
He is buried with his wife, mother & some siblings in Kensal Green Cemetery. I have a photo of the grave,
There are lots of records of The Levant Co. at Metropolitan Archives & The Guildhall Library in London.
Did you receive my "personal post"?
What is your authority for your Philip? James's parents?

Thanks David for replying. We live on the S Coast.
I will correct my Tree ( not on the web). I cannot find Nigel on any server, was he born abroad or in Scotland?
Now your 3rd G Grandfather & my G.Grandfather was only baptized John, he remained John on everything legal. He adopted Edward for his writing & to annoy his father after he had tried out Philip for a while. Have you read his books?
I do have a very poor picture of Jose taken from an Argentinian newspaper.
I do not know where Catherine lives as she did not answer after her first post.
