Is this your Henry's birth registration?

FOREMAN, HENRY       SWANTON 
GRO Reference: 1838  D Quarter in OF SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR SOUTHWARK  Volume 04  Page 123

Yes this one of my henrys,it's the marriage to Margaret Revell that is causing confusion re father Robert.

[Girl Guide]

Have you checked census records for Henry and Margaret to see what Henry has as place of birth?

You have confused me by saying one of your Henrys which implies you have more than one Henry Foreman in the family.  Can you clarify please?

Isn't that the Henry who was married to Margaret Revell in 1862? Henry and brother Robert are together at 42 Gun Street in the 1851 census, and that's the address on the 1862 marriage record.

Hi there are three henrys that were identified 1 Henry born 1789-died 1842,married Sophia Swanton in 1928 southwark.2 Henry born 1832 died 1892 married Margaret Revell in 1862 this is the marriage that is confusing as it says his father is Robert,is the name a registrars mistake.3 is Henry who married Margaret Mary egan.the family line is meant to be Henry 1 father of Henry 2 who is father of Henry 3.so who is Robert ?

Could this be why?  Death for:-

FOREMAN, HENRY       53 
GRO Reference: 1842  S Quarter in ST GEORGE THE MARTYR SOUTHWARK  Volume 04  Page 287

If Henry's father died when he was only about 3, then he may not remember him and his brother was put down as the father.

Could be ! Just seems strange, As everything else seems to match I will just put it down as an unknown,al I have to do now is find out if the Foremans came from Limerick in Ireland,which my mum believed to be true.thanks
