Background
Born on 02 October 1833 at Angmering Sussex, there are no immigration records for Henry Green arriving in Victoria. He is thought to have been a mariner, so he probably jumped ship and went in search of gold.<ref<Informaton researched and provided by descendant Eric Smith, 2019.</ref>
Twenty Two year old Henry Green married Janet Smith 'in his residence' on Bakery Hill on 14 July 1855. He was a miner. It is thought that it is this Henry Smith who signed the Bendan Hassell Petition.
He died 08 January 1903 at 44 Finlay St, Albert Park, Melbourne with no known obituary orr a will.
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
Henry Green lived on Bakery Hill, the centre of Ballarat Goldfields Agitation and site of the Monster Meetings. Another Henry Smith (2) was living at Bentley's Eureka Hotel, and was a witness at the inquest into the murder of James Scobie.
Post 1854 Experiences
Family
Henry Green married Janet Smith by Presbyterian rites on 14 July 1855. They had twelve children:
1. .... (born 1856, Wedderburn)
2. .... (born 1858, Wedderburn)
3. ..... (born 1860, Inglewood)
4. ..... (born 1862, Daylesford)
5. ..... (born Daylesford)
6. ..... (born Daylesford)
7. ..... (born Daylesford)
8. ..... (born Daylesford)
9. ..... (born Daylesford)
10. ..... (born Daylesford)
11. ..... (born Daylesford)
12. ..... (born 1881, Daylesford)
He may not have even been in Ballarat in December 1854, but marrying 7 months later we feel it is more than likely. Janet and her family arrived on the ship Persia on March 1854 and she had a step brother born Jun 1855 in Ballarat. There is no obituary nor will for her father, William Smith who died at Cambrian Hill 1882 or her step-mother Margaret Smith who died in South Melbourne in 1896.
Given the feelings and tensions around Ballarat before and after the Eureka events, our feeling is that Henry would not have been living on Bakery Hill in mid-1855 if he had been a friend of Bentley – would you tend to agree?
