Matthew Spring in 'The Lute in Britain' says that he was one of the Willoughby family musicians. He further states that Grene, "an old and trusted servant of Willoughby, owned a lute book himself from which Sir Francs gained his version" of 'a pauyn Bruzter out o greenness Booke pag 7' and that "Green himself wrote in pieces nos. 9, 25 and 26". Furthermore, the Grene referred to as a composer of music at the end of the Marsh manuscript might be one and the same.
