53.4 Siblings of Harriet Squire (née Green)

William and Mary Green had nine children, mainly in Stainborough nr Barnsley. Their children are Harriet's siblings.

• 53.2.1 - John Green (1849-1918)
• 1871: At home in Ecclesfield. Manager at his father's iron foundry
• His father died the following year, and John took over the business
• Married Annie Nelstrop (1847-1917) at St Cuthbert, Ackworth nr Pontefract in 1879
• He is still an ironfounder; also a farmer of 43 acres. In 1891-1911, the address is given as Primrose Cottage. The 'cottage' is big enough to share with one of his worker's family in 1901. He specifically says that their business is Ranges and stove grates in 1911.

• There are not many references on line to Walter as a cutlery but there is a suggestion that he may have also made cut throat razors. And there is a short piece here:

"The MOP Penknife by Walter Green Ltd is the most interesting. I think [the] company was established around 1911, Walter Green having previously been a partner in Green & Green Ltd, who by coincidence used the seated grinder mark later acquired by Herbert Robinson. Walter Green Ltd folded in the early 1940s. The knife carries advertising for George Craddock & Co Ltd, who began manufacturing wire ropes in Wakefield in 1853, and merged into British Ropes Ltd when the company was formed in 1924."
