Do you have Mary Ann's birth cert (or any other document - marriage?) stating that her father was Samuel?

There were lots of Mary Ann Greens born in London c1854.

But if you're sure the 1861 census shows the correct family, then her father was James - at least that's the only marriage for a Sarah Hunt to a Green , in London, 1837-50

I don't have the certificate ArgyllGran. I am only up to that point with her children, and am in the process of sending off for it. So until then, I am at a standstill.

So, it proves that old adage, don't believe everything your family tells you!

Thank you, Erika and Maddie again for all your help.

As soon as I have concrete evidence I can go forward. May I call on you again when I know what I am doing?

Best Wishes.

Having returned belatedly to this thread, I would certainly think that the facts as posted indicate that Mary's father was definitely James

I think this may be the case Erika. I am ordering her marriage certificate and that will give me an answer one way or the other.

Thanks again.
