Rev. Henry Charles Luson Henry

Thank you, amondg.  Isn't an age given?

FamilySearch has an alternative transcription of this from BTs as Charles Gates HANDY age 0.

Need to go to a FHS to view the image

Thanks for the replies.

The Clerical Guide, 3rd edition, 1829, doesn't seem to mention anyone by the surname of Henry.  That makes me suppose he was no longer a clergyman by then, possibly dead.

Thanks to Mabel's sighting of 1827-8 (Reply #10), the end of his clergy career seems to be marked within narrow limits (in England, at least).

I'm wondering if any curates are listed in that book, or if it is just vicars, rectors and above.

[Watson]

Thank you, Shaun.

The abbreviation C is used.  There are certainly some, but, now that you mention it, perhaps not that many; PC, which I assume is Perpetual Curate, is much more frequent.

Postscript: On second thoughts, I think there are a reasonable number of curates.  Perhaps I was browsing a section of the alphabet earlier which was not representative for some reason.

Per CCED he was replaced as stipendiary curate at Berwick St Leonard by Charles Desborough Stewart who was appointed on 30 March 1829.

[Watson]

Thanks for that, Shaun.  No reason seems to be given for the change of curate.  Charles Desborough Stewart doesn't appear in the 1829 Clergy Guide either, so I wonder if there was a short interval between the end of Henry's period and the start of Stewart's, during which the gen for the book was gathered.

The will of Elizabeth Cates who died 1863 would be interesting, proved by Catherine Parkins Cates spinster daughter of 47 Pelham Street.

To see who she names and how they are referred to plus who was still alive. ( Henry Charles Luson -Cates/ Charles Luson Henry)

Catherine Parkins Cates baptism lists parents as George and Louisa.

[Watson]

Much appreciated, amondg, but I already have all the information in your latest post and in the private message.

Neither George Cates nor Elizabeth left a sausage to either of the two Luson children.  To me it suggests that they were provided for in some other way, or by someone else.
