Lost resident

Evening Sc00p, Heywood.

I did see the Forton information and wondered if there might have been a connection between him being a mate, and George Green mentioning the Sailor’s Home in the American records dated 1917-40, that included his date of birth. Frustratingly, this record didn’t give a date either in pinpointing him to that institution.

Thanks Heywood for that. You beat me to it, but at least I’ll know where to look.
The late professor Hoar turned up Belvoir Street, but where he found this, we haven’t been able to find out. His notes were handed over to a University, but they found nothing on Green amongst them. Waterloo Cottage, N. Marine Road, Flamborough, was in a US paper for 1947-48.

So does this mean that neither of the two George M Greens in those pension indexes is your George.

Hi Heywood,

I’ve yet to look at the Phippsburg record supplied by ShaunJ, but from what he supplied it certainly looks like him, but I need a moment to view it.

However, this is from the American paper found on Ancestry’s newspapers.com website.

Evening Express Thursday May 22, 1947 page 28 under Last remaining GAR veterans (Grand Army of the Republic)

One veteran George M Green (whose age is not available) lives in England at Waterloo Cottage, North Marine Road, Flamdoro (sic) East Yorkshire.

The following year it was reported that his checks were returned to the office and though it’s presumed he had died, they had no evidence of his date of death.

I posted a link to another document – muster roll - which has more detail and that he was born in Phippsburg.

The muster roll also shows 15th MaineRegiment and that his father, William, gives consent.
Here is the 1850 census  which I also mentioned earlier.
