  • Notes 
    • Note - In the 1851 Census he is there with George FREEMAN's (Fanny's sister) brother, but as a sibling (ie called Henry FREEMAN), rather than a nephew. This is assumed to be an error.

      Married Elizabeth CLARK Apr qtr 1857 Hemel Hempstead vol 3a, p394.

      He was convicted of Larceny and sentenced to 12 months at Hertford on 15/10/1866. The local newspapers add some colour, but the crime was for the theft of 7 fowl

      By 1881 Census, Elizabeth describes herself as a widow but no sign of Henry in the death indexes from 1871 to 1881. However noting Bertie's birth, and assuming he was the father, that would suggest he died after about 1876.
