Charles was a private marine who came to the colony aboard the ship 'Friendship' and served at Port Jackson in the company of Watkin Tench.
Soon after arrival he was in trouble, ordered 10 lashes for being drunk on duty on 9 Feb 1788 (but pardoned soon afterwards) and receiving 100 on the 20th for having connections with female convicts.
Margaret Dowling and marine Private Charles Green conceived a son in Mar 1788. Charles Green was also a First Fleeter, arriving aboard the ship 'Friendship'. At Port Jackson 22 Dec 1788 Margaret bore a son Charles from this union. The child went with her to Norfolk Island on 4 Mar 1790 aboard the ship 'Sirius'.
(In Sep 1794 Charles Green Sen. made an attempt to get his son from Margaret, but was told she could keep him until he reached the age of seven, and Green apparently did not persist.)
He did duty aboard the shop 'Gorgon' for some five weeks in Nov and Dec 1791, and in Apr 1792 he enlisted in the NSW Corps as a private. He was marked dead in NSW Corps records of 1 Dec 1799.

Charles married Margaret (convict) Dowling / Darnell, daughter of Peter Darnell and Margaret Dowlin, in Mar 1788. (Margaret (convict) Dowling / Darnell was born in 1766 in Ireland UK, christened in 1766 in Dublin Santry, Eire Ireland, died on 24 Sep 1834 in Sackville Reach, Windsor, NSW Australia and was buried in St Thomas, Sackville Reach, NSW Australia.)
