Today's post involves my 2nd Great Aunt Bridget Greene nee Stevens husband William James Greene. He was the son of John and his wife Pamaly Greene nee Curll and was born in Gundagai, New South Wales in 1870. In 1897 he married Bridget Stevens and together they had seven known children. Bridget apparently died somewhere around 1915 (see more here). William then ended up in Queensland where he married for the second time to a Mary Florence Levy in 1916. William and Mary had two known children. William is recorded as being buried at the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery, location Roman Catholic No. 2a, however his grave is unmarked.
