• Christened: 21 Mar 1833, Bathurst, NSW By Rev. John Esprey Keane, an Irishman.
• Baptism: 1807 6707 17/1807 Windsor

Because the Ministers did not reside in one place but went on "circuit" to do baptisms and marriages, there was often a big gap between being born and being baptised.

It seems that Henrietta was married once before to an "unknown" person. She next married William Merrick, (son of Edward Merrick and Mary Elizabeth Russell,) on 26 Dec 1823 at St Peter's Church of England in Richmond NSW by the Rev Samuel Marsden.
