Lenton Coote and Susan Martha Wright are my grandparents. He was born 1860, died 1899 (not 1896), they married 26 Oct. 1897. He was 39 at death.  He was interred with Military Honours as a  Colour Sergeant in Sudbury Company of Volunteers, reputed to be best rifleshot in Suffolk, and won prizes  at Bisley.Owned Lime kiln(s) & chalk pit on Cornard Road.

Robert Lenton Green, bn 1784, married Mary Stammers bn c 1791. Their 15 children (most of whom died in the workhouse of consumption when Robert died young) included Edward Coote Green bn 1815 and Sophia Amelia Green bn 1831. Edward Coote's son Lenton Coote Green, bn 1860, was my maternal grandfather. I have not been able to trace any ancestors of Robert senior (one of the 15 children was also Robert Lenton) and would be ecstatic  to find how the 1753 marriage of Ewin Green and Elizabeth Linton fits in, Kimberly.
