Biography of William Green



HERITAGE NO :
William Green

JOINER AND GROCER

William was a local lad who was born in St Helens on the 25th of September 1863. His father, Richard, was a grocer. Indeed, in 1881 the family was living at a Grocery Store at 54 Atherton Street, St. Helens.

William made his debut for the first team on 25th of September 1886 in the home victory over Bootle. He then played on the next three Saturdays ending with his last recorded match against Salford A on the 16th of October 1886. In all he is recorded as playing in 7 matches for St. Helens but because of the paucity of results and team sheets from that period, the number of appearances is likely to be higher. Doubtless, he would have also played in the St Helens second team as well.

In the Spring of 1890 he married Classina Thomas in St. Helens. They had three children over time. In 1911 he was a shopkeeper at 42 Lingholme Road, St. Helens. At some point William and Classina moved to live at The College, Broad Lane, Whiston.

William died on the 2nd of December 1943 at the age of 79. He left £1163 in his will.
