Henry was born in 1780, in Frithelstock, Devon, a small village 15 miles south of Barnstaple. On the 12th of May 1818, he married Mary Brimacombe in Holsworthy, Devon. By 1837 they had nine living children and had also lost twins Ann, and Emily as infants. Helen was the youngest born in 1837. All the children were born in Barnstaple.

In 1841 the family were living in St Hellier, Jersey. Henry is listed as a carpenter but he was a master builder, ironmonger and architect. Sadly, his wife Mary passed away in 1845. By 1851 the family had moved to Southampton, Hampshire. The household consisted of just Henry and Helen. The other children had married and it's likely Helen was responsible for looking after her widower father.

In 1861 Henry and Helen were living in Westminster, London. Henry was still listed as a carpenter but it's likely he had retired. Helen was listed as a mantua maker which was someone who made women's clothes.

Henry passed away in 1868. He was buried in West Brompton, in the Royal Borough of Kensington. Written on his gravestone was "This memorial stone is erected by his beloved children who prayerfully and humbly hope through the boundless mercy of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ, to again join him in that kingdom which is promised to every repentent owner from the foundation of the world"

Four of Henry's children lived in Australia, two were living in America and three in England. Helen lived in various places around London, including Battersea where she worked as a manageress of refeshment rooms. She settled in Camberwell, London where she lived alone as she never married.

Helen passed away on the 14th of January 1922, aged 87. She was buried with her father.
