Hi Everyone,
12 Feb 1894, 20 year old Eliza Byne married Charles Lewis, at St Augustine's in South Hackney. Her father is listed as Henry Byne , occupation Builder. On the 4th of May 1874 an Eliza Jane Bynes was baptized at St Michael and All Angels. Her parents were Henry and Maria Bynes . Henry is listed as a labourer . Another child John Edward Bynes was baptized 04 Dec 1871 at the same church. On 10 Sep 1871 a Henry Bynes, labourer, married Maria Parker at St James the Great in Bethnal Green. Both are shown of full age. Henry's father is shown as Thomas Bynes , a plasterer.
A search of the 1881 census for this family found only the mother Maria Bynes and her children living at 17 John Street in Hackney. Maria is shown as married, age 44, an invalid and born Whitechapel. The two children are aged 9 and 7 and also born Whitechapel. There is a death registered in Hackney Dec 1881 for a Maria Bynes age 43. I believe the children in the 1891 census may be at 17b Hose Road, Walthamstow, Essex, in the home of Alexander Cunningham and his wife Sarah. They are listed as Brother and Sister in Law. FreeBMD shows a marriage in 1884 between Sarah Parker and Alexander Cunningham. In 1891 census Sarah was recorded as 30 years of age. Her relationship to Maria Parker is unknown.
I have not been able to find Henry in 1881 or any other census. There is a possible sighting in the 1841, in Westminster (HO 107/733/8) a family headed by Thomas Bynes a plasterer, shows a 10 year old Henry Bynes.
Any help locating Henry in any of the censuses is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
