 | | His father, also William Green, was a mercer in Newark, who had married his mother, Anne Swift, by license, on 20 Feb 1701 at North Muskham, a parish just across the river Trent from Newark. |
 | | Dr Bernard Wilson was a prominent and colorful figure in Newark, of whom it was said: "his course was bedewed with the tear of many a widow, and his obsequies hallowed by the sigh of many an orphan". |
 | | In the manner of academics of the time, he was ordained as a minister in the church; first as a deacon at Lincoln, on 24 September 1738 (Newark is in the diocese of Lincoln), and then as a priest at Norwich in June 1740. |
