Green was employed at a leather factory before emigrating to South Australia on the barque "Athenian", arriving in March 1849, one of 111 on board.
He had a residence at Middleton in 1865.
He was employed in various capacities before striking out on his own in 1866 in the leather trade, with a workshop and warehouse at 75 Hindley Street, the first such in the colony.

In 1884 Green handed over management of the warehouse to his son, George Green, who, with his brother Matthew, had been taken into partnership.
