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.
