V1846932 37A/1846 GREEN CHARLOTTE L GEORGE MARIA

Birth Registered V1846932 and 37A/1846 Church of England Willoughby NSW

Baptised 10th June 1851 at Church of England Willoughby by the Rev. W. B. CLARKE, his parents listed as George and Maria Green living at Milsons Point he was baptised along with his siblings on the same day

• Robert Nathaniel born 29th May 1838
• James Absalom born 7th May 1840 (spelt Absalom)
• Agnes Martha born 22nd May 1842
• Sarah Harriet Hales born 23rd May 1844 (descendants believe her name should be spelt Alce)
• Charlotte Lydia born 23rd August 1846
• William Joseph born 1st July 1849

(interesting to note that George and Maria gave birth to Charles John Green on the 23rd September 1851 - 4 months later and he was not baptised until 30th July 1854, I wonder what was the reason for the baptism of all the children so close to the birth of James (why not just wait until his birth - and then leaving James’ baptism for another nearly3 years!) Died 1896 according to Phil Young -no -see Friends of Gore Hill Cemetery

Died 25 November 1918 Salisbury Rd Willoughby, NSW aged 71

From Evergreen Memories - page 115.

Three years after the birth of Sarah Hariet Alce, Maria and George Green had their fourth and youngest girl, who they named Charlotte Lydia, after George’s aunt Charlotte Hyndes nee Green and Maria’s sister Lydia Bates. In 1865, when she was 18, Charlotte married John Reid, the son of James and Mary Reid, who had come from Knockadoo County Derry in Northern Ireland. James and Mary and their first child Sarah arrived on the ship “Lord Nelson” in 1840, and her brother John was born in Australia. James became a man of some substance in the Colony and was a member of the Inaugural Council of Willoughby.

Early in their marriage, John was a tobacconist, but later he became a stonemason, he and Charlotte spent all their lives together at Willoughby, in houses in Sydney Street, High Street and Salisbury Rd. They brought up a very large family, many of whose descendants still live in the Willoughby area.

Their youngest son, Milton Reid was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for Bravery during World War I.

Milton lived with mother (and assumed family as he was 22 and single at the time,) at Eaton Street Willoughby NSW on 26 October 1914 from details of son’s enlistment in WWI -he followed his father and brother George and became a stonemason.

In her last years, her mother Maria Green (nee Bates) went to live with Charlotte and John and it was in their home, in Salisbury Rd Willoughby, that she died in 1896.
