PS - just realised that you don't appear to have a record of Henry's death. I found a probate record that lists his death as 4th September 1896 in County Durham, copy attached.  He was buried in Durham, at Pelton cemetery: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=122803170

Hi Brett

This is fantastic stuff - Sarah Jane Eden was a cousin of ours, so came across your research whilst adding her details to our tree.  I wouldn't normally be so interested in such a distant ancestor, but as I live in Bristol, I was intrigued about the local connection.  I believe that I have found a Baptism record for Henry and a census record for 1851, when he was living with an aunt and uncle on the Isle of Wight. I have also found an intriguing census record for 1861, which may or may not be related to Henry Mower.  The record lists a Henry Eden as lodging with Andrew & Harriett Isaac in Hawkesbury, near Chipping Sodbury, which is just outside of Bristol.  Henry, a photographic artist, is recorded as living with his wife, Elizabeth Eden and their daughter, Jane, aged one.  If as you say, Henry did have liaisons with both sisters, Jane & Elizabeth, then maybe they were using Elizabeth's surname to avoid detection?  I can find no other likely record for Henry Mower in 1861 or any census records after 1881.   

I have attached the 3 records that may be of interest to you and will let you know if I find any other interesting documents.
