Hi Frances,

It looks like your hubby is my cousin, but I'm unsure how many times removed. It's very interesting that you also come from a Luxton line. I'm descended from Maria's younger brother Thomas; the details below are from my reply number 2 on the first page of this thread.

The eldest daughter of John Luxton and Ursula in 1841 was Maria, age 15 and thus born about 1826, as this particular folio gives the exact ages of everyone and hasn't rounded them down to the nearest 5 years. We haven't been able to find where she was born but we do have a copy of her marriage certificate to a Charles Green, horsekeeper, on 18 May 1845, both of full age. We've found what must be her in 1851 at Caroline Place Kingston, HO107/1603/401/4, although Charles isn't home and her place of birth is given as Birmingham. Next door is James and Jane Pett, whose daughter Louisa (13 in 1851) married Maria's younger brother Thomas Luxton on 1 April 1861 at the Independent Chapel Kingston.

I do have a pdf showing the ancestors of Henry Green but I don't think it's possible to add it to posts here. If you send me your email address by private message I can send it to you (it's best not to show email addresses on these posts).

Michael.
