Life story

Life story

Charles Bernard Greene was born on the 29th November 1862 to James and Charlotte 'Lolotte' Green (nee Moodie) in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa. His father originated from Hackney in London whereas his mother came from Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

In 1893, on the 6th December, Charles married an Edith Isabella Morton in Karkloof, Natal. Together they had five children: Eric James (18 Nov 1894), Marion Alice (12 Aug 1896), Victor William (11 Sep 1898), Doreen Margaret Edith (28 Mar 1900) and Gyneth Ina (11 Jan 1902). During his working life, Charles was a farmer / labourer and stayed in South Africa.

On the 29th March 1913, Charles and his wife, and daughter Marion, stepped off RMS Saxon at Southampton after departing from Natal. It would be just under three months later that Charles would sadly die in Worthing and be buried at Heene Cemetery on the 19th June 1913. Charles' brother Edward filed his death back home
