==Life==
William Lowthian Green was born in Doughty Street of London on 13 September 1819. His father was Joseph Green and mother was Mary Childs.
His mother was from the Lothian region of Scotland.
His father was apprenticed to an early scientific instrument maker Jesse Ramsden, and then started a successful merchandise business in northern England. He was a distant relation to Charles Green who was astronomer on the 1768 voyage of James Cook. Green was educated in Liverpool, and King William's College on the Isle of Man. As a young man continuing his father's business he sailed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. He crossed the Pampas plain and then the Andes mountains on horseback. By 1844 he returned to Liverpool, but now his father had died and he had seen the world.〔
