George Green born 1871, husband of Mrs Theresa Green, and my Great Great Grandfather, a native of Coventry, had decided to emigrate to America and booked his passage on the Titanic. He was a farrier on his way to Lead City, South Dakota.

George Green paid £8 1s for his Third Class passage. Mr Green and his family had resided at Dorking for some years. Mrs Theresa Janet Green and her three children came to stay in Coventry with her parents, Mr and Mrs Morris of Spon Street while George found his feet in America. Mrs Green was to have joined her Husband in America using the second voyage of the Titanic which never came about.

Mrs Green had received some letters written by her husband during the voyage. On the evening of the disaster one of the children was writing a note to her ‘Daddy’.
George Green’s brother in law was Mr E.A.Morris of Queen Victoria Road, Coventry. Green had sent him a photograph of the Titanic with dimensions and a message ‘Lovely Sailing’.

As a result of the death of her Husband, the three children were eventually sent to different homes as there was too little money to raise the children even though Theresa and her children were awarded a weekly pension from the Mansion House Titanic Relief Fund.

The Probate report showed that George Green left £45 16s 8d to the family. To date I have still not been able to trace one of the children.

George’s body was never found and his place of death is recorded as Lat 41deg 16 N, Long 50 deg 14 W.
