Looking for Henry Eltham known to have been in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, but not sure that he was born there
According to what I believe is his death record he would have been born about 1817
(Henry Eltham age 58 death registered Witney district Q3 1875 Vol 3a page 423)
No sign of him on 1841 census.
According to familysearch Henry and Emily baptised two children in Eynsham
Elizabeth Mary Eltham born 14 Oct 1842 bapt 18 Oct 1842 Birth reg Q3 1842 Witney (vol 16 p 125). Death registered Q4 1842 Witney (vol16 p90)
Emily Elizabeth Eltham born 30 Jan 1844 bapt 9 Feb 1844 Birth reg Q1 1844 Witney District (vol 16 p 126)
So Henry must have married an Emily in about 1841, possibly late in year so both still single when census for 1841 taken.
I cannot find any trace of a marriage registration
On 1851 census living in High Street Eynsham ( piece: 1731, folio: 107, page: 42)
Emily Eltham Head married 26 (1825) Dressmaker born Woodend, Berks
Elizabeth Eltham Daughter 7 (1844) born Eynsham
James Eltham Son 5 (1846) born Eynsham
Andrew Eltham son 3 (1848) born Eynsham
Henry Eltham son 1 (1850) born Eynsham
There is no sign of Henry in 1851
I believe the birth registrations of James, Andrew and Henry are as follows:
James registered as James Henry Eltham registered Witney dist Q4 1845 vol 16 p123
Andrew Eltham registered Witney dist Q4 1847 vol 16 p 126
Henry Eltham is probably the one registered Q3 1849 vol 16 page 122. (I think Harry registered in Q1 1850 is the son of John and AnnEltham).
In 1861 the family is together living in Pug? Lane, Eynsham:
Henry Eltham Head 42 (1819) b Cumnor (Berks) occ Confectioner
Emily wife 35 (1826) b Cumnor (cumnor is near Woodend)
Elizabeth dau 17 b Eynsham
James son 15 b Eynsham
Andrew son 13 b Eynsham
Rosa dau 8 b Eynsham
There is a death registered for a Henry Q2 1851, probably the son born 1849.
In 1871 in High Street, Eynsham
Emily Eltham head married Engineer's wife 46 b Woodend
Harry son 6 b Eynsham
birth of Harry reg Q3 1864 Witney dist 3a p589
But again no sign of Henry senior
So we have one sighting of Henry on a census, although he should be on four censuses (41 - 71 inc)
No sign of a marriage, but it must have taken place after Jul 1837.
Only one indication of his place of birth - but could this be muddled with Emily's pob?. There are Eltham families in Eynsham, but not come across any in Cumnor in early 1800s.
I'm most interested in finding who Henry's parents were so need Marriage cert or 1841 census where hopefully he is living with parents
