Notes

According to his church's marriage records, Henry was living in Welney, Norfolk when he got married (just north west of Littleport, across the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk boundary). Also, this records states that Henry was +21 when he married Mary, placing his birth year in 1824, not 1815.
In the 1870 census, the dwelling and family enumeration for these pages were done in an odd manner. Consequently, it is not clear whether Henry/Harry and Mary were living in the home of William Rice's family or that Samual Leavens and family were living in Henry/Harry and Mary's home.
In the 1900 census record, Henry reported that he immigrated to the States in 1849 despite the fact that he and his family appear in the 1851 British census records.
