MRCS England 1841, was an Irish orthodox physician who converted to homeopathy (Peter Morrell, A History of Homeopathy in Britain, (Staffordshire University) ’… Another important Irish homeopath was Dr Michael Greene (1819-c1890) of Ennis, near Galway, who was the first to use Crataegus (Hawthorn). MRCS England, 1841 (Medical Directory, 1863, p.844)…’).

Michael Greene of Ennis, Co Clare, near Galway, who was the first to use Crataegus (Hawthorn). He was a colleague of Joseph Kidd and Charles W Luther.

Of interest:

They were many Michael Greene’s in Co Clare and this may be part of homeopath Michael Green’s family?

Lucy Jane Brew born in Thomas Street, Limerick, on 21 October 1824, and was the only surviving child (of William Adams Brew 1792 - ) and Lucy Stackpoole Lysaght ( - 1856). Lucy Jane Brew married her first cousin, Henry Greene of Ennis, in Ennistymon, Co. Clare, in December 1853.  Henry Greene later became Sub Sheriff of Clare, a position he held for many years.

She died at Bramblewood, Holt, Norfolk, on 21 May 1913 and was buried at Kelling near Holt.)
