I have the other Henry in 1901, he's a carpenter, Clapham as birthplace, 1861 as birth year, his wife is Emily A born Lambeth, with three children, all born Clapham. Family living in Battersea. In 1901, they are in Clapham, he is a packer in a piano factory, birth year and birthdate as in 1891. In 1911they still can be found in the same part of south London.

So it looks like all the census records for Henry born Islington, with wife born Liverpool, occupation furrier (farrier on one census) consistently b 1859 is yours. So the problem of the wife's name.
Options: Emma changed her name to Emily or Emma died and he married an Emily or he and Emma split up and he is living with Emily as a married couple.
Has Emma Smith been investigated - difficult name, Smith, but with the father's name and occupation should be possible to find her in 1881 when single - was she born in Liverpool?

has anyone found our Henry (b Islington) in 1891?
From marriage record, Emma Smith should have been born about 1862, but Emily (b Liverpool) seems much younger on 1901 census.

Yes, have just re-found him in 1891 and then seen that you have already posted it.  (First found last night but did not post as did not think would help).

Henry is a bit younger than he should be, but Emily is about the same age as Emma Smith should be. Emily is consistent about birthplace as Liverpool

Hi everyone,
l have tried finding Emma or Emily Smith with father John and Engine Drive but to no avail just too many, but on another note l decided to look at all the info l had and on the Wedding Cert of Henry and Emma the address of Henry was 15 Hollingworth Street and quess what h is brother George lived at the same address in 1891 and 1901 so was Henry living with his brother when his  family went to Canada in 1883 , l think sending off for childs birth only way now.
Thanks
