Clarissa Amy Whybrow, Elizabeth’s mother, died, aged 72, in January 1862, and within weeks Elizabeth married William Green (in the second quarter of 1862). She was around 40 and he was about ten years older. William continued to reside in Mill Lane. The house numbers in the records vary somewhat and it is difficult at times to know if he moved or if the numbering changed. Mill Lane in recent time is pictured in these photos. Number 14 is now one of Cambridge’s iconic pubs - The Mill. 16 Mill Lane, where William and his wife lived in 1881 is now a substantial building utilised by the University of Cambridge which is opposite the properties shown above. This seems an unlikely dwelling for a merchant’s clerk. In view of the number of doors for the pub numbered 14 and the fact that Elizabeth Green in 1881 gives her occupation as publican and cook(?), I suspect that number 16 was actually the corner house. 1871 Census By the time of the 1871 Census William and Elizabeth Green were living alone in Mill Lane. Their only surviving son Edward had left home.
