According to his death certificate, Henry came to New South Wales in about 1838 (born England, 44 years in N.S.Wales).^[1]

Henry married Maria Moon at Wollongong on the 6th of December, 1840.^[2][3][4]

Henry died at the Sydney Hospital on the 13th of April, 1882, from 'spinal paralysis.'^[1] He was buried the following day in the Church of England portion of Rookwood Cemetery.^[5][6]
