Details: 

An organ for the new chapel of Trinity College Dublin was ordered from Samuel Green in 1793; it was shipped to Dublin from London in October 1797. Samuel Green had died in September 1796, but the business of supplying the new organ was undertaken by his widow, Sarah Green. It was installed by William Hollister in 1798.

Green did not apparently have a formal agency or address in Dublin.
