As
you can see, Henry and Rosa married in 1874, but they
already had several children by this date. Their
children are listed below, as taken from the 1881
Census and the IGI.
| Charlotte
- christened on 22 Oct 1865 in Inkpen. She
died on 13 Nov 1873 and was buried in Andover. |
| Harry
- christened Henry, he was born in Inkpen and
christened there on 23 Jun 1867. He married
'Betsy'. He may have been the Henry that went
to Canada. |
| Thomas

he was christened in Andover on 9 Nov 1876. |
| Maurice
- christened in Inkpen on 22 Jan 1871, his
name is often spelt Morris. |
| Mary
- she was born in Inkpen and christened there
on 24 Nov 1872. She married Stephen Bull, who
came from Winchester, in 1899. Stephen's
family had lived in New Street since 1847.
She lived in Colebrook Street, Winchester
until she died. They had eight children, of
which there were two sets of non-identical
twins, and Stephen's occupations (from the
christenings in the St Maurice's Parish
Register) alternated between Dealer, Chimney
Sweep and Horse Dealer. She died in 1938 aged
64, and was buried in the Magdelen Hill
Cemetary, Winchester. In her Will she left
everything in trust for her children...her
house, Builders Yard and 'premises being No 3
King Alfred Place'. Stephen Bull died in 1951. |
| Frederick
- born in Andover and christened there on 10
Jan 1874. |
| Goliath
- Although christened Goliath on 9 Nov 1876
in Andover, there are examples of him being
called Golias and Elias. He was born in
Andover and died in New Street in 1899. He
was 22 years old. |
| Samuel
- Sam, as he was known, was born in Andover
on 29 Aug 1878. He was christened on 9 Dec
1878 at St Mary's Church in Andover and was
living at 45 Junction Road, Andover when he
died in 1923 aged 45. |
| Alfred
- Born in Andover on 11 Jul 1880 and
christened 20 Mch 1881. |
| Rose
- Her christening entry in the Andover Parish
Registers (13 Nov 1882) give her mother's
name as Rose - so perhaps baby Rose should be
Rosa? Her actual date of birth was 13 Dec
1881. |
Henry
died on 28 Sep 1903 and was buried in Andover with
his wife.
