Henry TOWLER 1829-??
« on: Tuesday 04 February 25 19:11 GMT (UK) »
Henry was born in 1829 in Brandon, Suffolk. Married Emma Constance DAINTY at Oundle in 1861.

They had four children
Frank 1862
Harry 1863
Horace 1865
Kate 1866

Trying to find Henry the father after 1881 when he is in Easton on the Hill. Emma was buried there in 1904 and she was a widow. Can't find Emma in 1891 or 1901 either, but she may be difficult to find as in the burial register for Easton on the Hill she was from the Northampton County Lunatic Asylum.

Frank, Harry and Kate were all in NZ by late 1880s and Horace went to Florida in the USA.

No sign of Henry in NZ.

Thanks

Thanks so it looks like he was bankrupt, and then possibly disappeared. That is about the time the two sons and daughter would have arrived in NZ.

Found who I believe is Emma in 1901 in the Asylum as E C T. Right age, birthplace, etc. She was also down as a widow.
