Henry passed away at the age of 9 months from pneumonia on 2nd January 1884 in Rupert Street, Newtown. He had been ill for 2 months. The informant of his death was J H Rutter also of Rupert Street, who stated that Henry had "no relative". A witness of his burial at the North Shore cemetery on 4th January 1884 was L K Rutter. [1]
Henry's mother had passed away 3 months earlier on 3rd October 1883. [5] Emily's passing was also announced in The Sydney Morning Herald, Family Notices, (page 3) of 03 November 1883 [6]
Research Notes
It appears that Henry was cared for after the death of mother by Mr and Mrs L K Rutter who was the informant and witness respectively of Henry's death and burial. Henry's father had remarried 2 months before Henry died and it could be that the middle name of Rutter was assigned to Henry by his new carers, but there is no documented proof to sustain this.
