    Address: 102 High Holborn 
    • Initiation into the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons
      Note that his address matches that shown in his insolvency in 1859
      Note that although there is a date for 'Passing' (the next stage after Initiation), there is no date for him being raised to 'Master Mason'
      It looks as though he only paid his subscription in 1858 & 1859

    Miscellaneous 10 Aug 1858  London, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [6
    Address: Hunter Street, Brunswick Square 
    • Indenture

      Court For Relief of Insolvent Debtors
      He is a Dealer in China and Glass, late of 102 High Holborn.
      Private house at 23 Wellington Square
      This may explain why he is not with his wife in the 1861 & 1871 censuses. However, the Queens Prison became a military prison in 1862; so perhaps he was moved elsewhere?
      It is also possible that the marriage was over.

  • Notes 
    • I cannot find any entry for Henry after his Insolvency entry in 1859.
      I have tried America in case he followed his brother, Ernest, but nothing.
      He isn't living with any of his siblings in any of the censuses.
      3/7/2021

      Searching in Australia found three posssibles.
      The have been included just in case they are correct. My main reason for their inclusion is based largely on the fact that they are the only entries that I can find anywhere with his full name.
      Unfortunately I can find no Passenger List entries for Henry arriving in Australia.
      5/7/21

      There are in fact a number of reports in Australia of Henry Daniel Jacobs being involved in Insolvency cases:
