Bakers of Headley states Henry’s first child, Harry John, was born in about 1862. In 1881 he was living with his family at Elan Cottage in Frensham. He married Kate Poulton (born in 1871), and is remembered as the author of “Frensham: Then & Now”. The birth date is take from the IGI index of the 1881 census - the original has 12. The marriage to Kate Poulton is also taken from this index - it is wrong as she was his half sister, never married and died in 1943. He was a co-author of Frensham Then and Now 1938, 2nd Ed 1948, the other being H C Minchin MA.
