Children of first marriage

Marriage registered

Later that same year (July Quarter 1851), Nathan Henry married Joyce Anne Warwick in Westminster. [England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index, 1837-1915, vol 1, p.550.]

From this marriage, three children are shown in the Army Chaplains' Baptismal Registers:

Drusilla Mary

Fanny Elizabeth

Joyce Ann

At least two other children were born later:

Isabella Martha

William Thomas

Drusilla Mary Henry, born 1852

Birth registered

Drusilla Mary Henry, January Quarter 1852, St Margaret's Westminster.

According to the Westminster Baptismal Register for St John the Evangelist, Smith Square:

Drusilla Mary, daughter of Nathan and Joyce Ann Henry, born 22 January 1852, baptised 1852. NH's occupation is given as "Schoolmaster". [PB]

Lillington Street, Pimlico, once lay between Charlwood and Tachbrook Streets. It was badly bombed in 1941 and is now covered by the Lillington Gardens Estate (built 1964-1972). See e.g. westendatwar.org.uk/page_id__233_path__0p28p.aspx, which has a map and several photographs.

Marriage registered [2nd]

Nathan Henry married Mary Elizabeth Domine at Westminster, St Margaret's in the July Quarter of 1869.

Meanwhile, in Bradford, at the home of Nathan Henry's first wife's sisters:

1871 Census

116, Leeds Road, Bradford.

Fanny Warwick [presumably NH's sister-in-law], 43, Head, Stationer, born Little Hadham, Herts.

Martha Warwick [sister-in-law], 41, Sister, Mantle Maker, Little Hadham, Herts.

John W? Reynolds, 22, Nephew, Clerk (Stationers), Dundalk, Ireland.

Drusilla M Henry [daughter], 19, Librarian, Pimlico, London.

Fanny E Henry [daughter], 13, Niece, Thames Ditton, Surrey.

Joyce Anne Henry [daughter], 11, Niece, Unmarried, born Aldershott, Hampshire.

Isabella M Henry [daughter], 6, Niece, Unmarried, born Brighton, Sussex.

William T Henry [son], Nephew, 3, born Brighton, Sussex.

A male boarder, John Archer, 25, Brewer's Traveller, born Yorkshire, is also shown.

[PB: Why are all the children in Bradford? Why are they staying with Fanny Warwick and her sister Martha? What relation are they? They do not appear to be guests on holiday.

NB: Fanny is the name of Joyce's sister and her second daughter.

Actually, according to his memoir, these must be his unmarried sisters - his two sisters-in-law, who looked after his children when his wife died. But are they also estranged from his new, young wife?]

Marriage registration - a minor mystery!

E&W marriages 1837-2008 vol. 9B, p. 1319.

John William Pawson married someone (presumably Drusilla Mary Henry), April Quarter 1877, Bradford, but I cannot find DMH's record of marriage to him.

E&W marriages 1837-2008 vol. 9B, p. 129 says Drusilla Mary Henry married Frederick William Ainsworth, April Quarter 1877, Bradford.

However 9B p 129 says FWA married either Drusilla Mary Henry or Annie Elizabeth Crossley. And England Marriages 1538-1973 says AEC married Abraham Hurst. [PB]
