I think Henry is in the infirmary if it is him. He is noted as a malster.

Marriage Date: 1821
Parish: Salisbury

Thankyou adeline and astra for your help it is really good of you to give your time to helping others and you too gins ,I am not sure wether it is his mom's birth as I have 1796 as a date but this could be wrong too !

If Elizabeth is on the 1841 census, her age would have been rounded down by up to 5 years. Her baptism may not have taken place until some time after her birth

It might be worth following up


This is also a good site for pre 1837 registrations


http://www.freereg.org.uk/

Thanks for your help PricklyHolly it is much appreciated.

The 1841 census that Astra posted....all the birth of the named children are on Family Search, so it looks like the correct one
