1851 for George Horatio has wife Mary A age 27 bn Lambeth, Horatio 5 bn London, City and a Cousin Samuel Gilderday age 30 bn Leeds, Yorkshire.  I wonder if Samuel's surname should be Gilderdale.

As a cousin how is he connected to George

Did son Horatio Dinnen have a Hong Kong connection?

29 April 1886
Overland China Mail

"Jesse H. Chesney, chief engineer of the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co.'s steamer Powun, on the one hand, charged Horatio J. Dinnen with having assaulted him on board the steamer on the 15th instant; and, on the other hand, H. J. Dinnen charged J. H. Chesney with assaulting him by pointing a gun at him..."

09 September 1886
Overland China Mail

"...Mr Horatio Dinnen has been appointed an Inspector of Nuisances".

Thank you everyone the ones im really struggling with now are the wife and son of george horatio dinnen born 1819 portsea he married a mary clancy in 1844 and then on the 1851 census he appears with mary dinnen nee clancy and a son horatio john aged 5 george is listed as a engineer theres also a cousin listed as samuel gilderhay from leeds which i think was a workmate i have never found a thing on mary dinnen after the 1851 census and nothing on horatio john till he appears working some twenty years later in hong kong george did pass in 1859 if this helps thanks everyone

[heywood]

Who was the informant for George’s death?
Was he described as ‘married’?
Was the address the family home?
