  • Notes 
    • It seems that Henry moved from Bank Newton, where he is a carpenter in the 1891 census, to the Marsworth area on the Grand Union Canal, where his children are born, though there is no direct evidence that he worked on the canal. He is identified as a clerk in his marriage record but died before the 1901 census when his widow is living in Rothersthorpe Road, Far Cotton, on the Northampton Arm.
