  Mother	Ellen Silverstone,   b. Abt 1835, Paddington, London, England d. 6 Nov 1913, Fulham, London, England (Age 78 years)
  Notes	From Gerry Newnham (email 16-Jul-2010) He also doesn't appear on the 1851 database as he was in Ohio/Kentucky at the time, where he married Ellen Silverstone. However no documentation of the marriage has been found - yet! In any case the Cincinnati records were destroyed in a fire around 1870 and although the records have been reconstructed Henry was back in England by then so probably wasn't aware that the authorities were asking people to re-register.

• Notes

  1871 Census There is some uncertainty about this entry. 3 Jacobs children are living with James & Emma Gaston and listed as Nurse Child. Of the three, only Leah matches in name Emanuel matches the age for Jacob and Adelaide matches the age for Adeline. There is no apparant link with the other Jacobs families in the area either in 1871 or 1881 but this obviously doesn't prove anything. For this reason it should not be assumed that this information is totally correct. November 2010
