  Family 1	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

  When Henry died his last address was shared with his son-in-law John Wales. Peter Wales gives us the following extra information:- "37 Canterbury Place (at the end of the Lambeth Walk). This was the Wales family home up to the 2nd world war, birthplace of all Alice and John's children including my father. It was hit by a bomb, aimed at Waterloo Station, and completely destroyed. If you have ever seen the film passport to Pimlico, it was actually filmed on the bomb site where Canterbury Place once stood." We know that Henry spent a number of years in Brighton from around 1858 to 1872. This is borne out by entries in the various trrade directories for Brighton. However, it would appear that he was originally there in a business and house belonging to David Jacobs, who is possibly his elder brother. [14]
