Burial:
7 July 1844, St Michael, Brierley Hill, Elizabeth Green, 40, Quarry Bank.

Burial:
6 Oct 1850, St Michael, Brierley Hill, Ann Green, 49, Mill Lane.


As it appears Elizabeth/ Ann died between 1841 - 1851 I checked FreeReg for possible burials with the names Elizabeth, Betsy and Ann Green - the above look like the only possible ones. The one for Elizabeth Green in 1844 fits with her age on 1841 census (35), and the address, Quarry Bank, is correct.

Incidentally, Benjamin Green was still alive in 1881, aged 80, living with his daughter and her husband Enoch Reed.

I looked for a baptism for him and found:
baptism: 31 Aug 1800, St Michael, Brierley Hill, Benjamin, s of Joseph & Ann Green.

There is also:
baptism: 10 April 1803, St Michael, Brierley Hill, Benjamin, s of Zachariah & Jane Green.

The first one seems most likely given that he was very consistent in giving his age in the census, and his first son was called Joseph and he also had a daughter named Ann? And none called Zachariah or Jane among his children or descendants.

There is possibly a little more - there was only one Joseph Green born at the right time in the area:
Bapt 5 July 1778, Kingswinford, Joseph s of William & Elizabeth Green.

William Green & Elizabeth Brooke married 24 Aug 1777, Kingswinford.

This might need further corroboration
