• Notes

  He is Henry Benjamin Desborough at the marriage of daughter Elizabeth and son George. This is then consistent with presumed death details. For this reason the "Benjamine" Desborough at the 1851 Census (aged 10) is assumed to be Henry, albeit that the age is wrong At the 1930 electoral roll he is living with Elizabeth Louisa GADD (his daughter) and others
