Green begann 1754 eine Lehre bei George Pyke, einem Uhrmacher und Orgelbauer. Nach Ende seiner Ausbildung 1761 arbeitete er mit John Byfield in Partnerschaft. 1772 heiratete er Sarah Norten, die Tochter von Eardley Norton. Aus der Ehe gingen zwei Töchter, Sarah und Elizabeth, hervor. 1789 zog Green nach Isleworth um. Er starb am 14. September 1796 im Alter von 56 Jahren.[1]

Die Werkstatt wurde zunächst von seiner Frau Sarah fortgeführt, ab 1799 von Benjamin Blyth als Green & Blyth. Sie bestand bis zum Tode von Blyths Sohn 1847 fort.[1]
