Hello Tarnwater
I did a bit more poking around today and I checked the Maple Grove Cemetery where Henry Thomas was supposedly interred and surprise, surprise they do not have a burial for him at their cemetery. They indicated their records are well kept. His death record might indicate where he is buried.
You can order a death record for him from New York Department of Records. A genealogical copy is about $15.00 American and it gives name,age, ,birthplace, residence, place of death, names of parents and their birthplaces, place of burial and medical attendant. Anyone can order the death certificate. It looks like the death record previously posted from FamilySearch could be your chap.
I have seen Harry/Henry listed for various records although all records we have seen have him listed as Harry.
Moving onto his sister Annie An***try has a copy of a will for Annie Ovenden under New York, Wills and Probate Records 1659-1999.
There is also one for William under New York, Wills And Probate Records For William Ovenden Queens, Mixed Proceedings. Case #1087 1927.
I did see a mention for Harry Thomas on Annie's listing him as living at 13 West Ninth St., New York City. If I am reading things right looks like he was still living ca 1927. Lots of legal jargon to wade through.
Another thing regarding Henry death record it has him as 61 years looks to be out by 10 years. I guess it depends who the informant was perhaps they did not know his age.
