Henry is supposed to have been born around 1760, possibly in Sowerby, Yorkshire[1]. On 03 Mar 1783 he and Martha Lee (known as Matty) were married by banns in Glossop, Derbyshire[2]. They had (at least) ten children:
According to the burial record for David[14], Henry was a cotton spinner.
Wife Martha died in 1841 at age 83 (suggesting a birth year of 1758).[15] This is a near match for a birth entry for Martha Lee, daughter of Thomas Lee, bapt. 19 May 1757 at Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, England.[16]
Henry died in the first quarter of 1843 at Hayfield, Derbyshire.[17]
