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.
Henry married Ethel Cross on 30 Jan 1896 in Blisworth, Northamptonshire. Ethel (daughter of John Arnold Cross) was born in 1872 in Podington, nr Wellingborough. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
