George Green worked as a farrier at the forge in Dorking during the period 1901 to early 1912 6 when he decided to emigrate with his family to the mining centre of Lead City, Dakota. Travelling alone on Titanic his wife and 3 daughters went to stay temporarily with her parents, Nathaniel & Martha Morris at Spon Street, Coventry.
The plan was to have been that Theresa and the 3 children would take the Titanic on its second voyage to meet up with George in America.
George was lost in the sinking, his body, if recovered, was never identified.

Green had been in indifferent health a year before deciding to emigrate and his wife and children are practically without [illegible]. - See more at: /untitled-extract-2.html#sthash.AxyuDLDo.dpuf

thanks 4 help guys
I am trying to locate family of George Henry Green (aged 40)lost at sea on the Titanic. I am a decendant from Olive green (married Jennings) I know George had a brother "Henry" but can not find details on him or his decendants. I understand that after George was lost at sea, his wife Theresa Jane could not afford to take care of the three girls, and thus they were split up into different families. Information on relatives of Kathleen and Hilda would be welcomed as well.
