• Census UK: scholar with a census age of 14, 1861, Aske's Hospital School, Hoxton New Town, Middlesex, England. ⁵ The most impressive foundations were set up under the auspices of the City Livery Companies. Aske's Hospital in Pitfield Street was established by the Haberdashers' Company under the will of Robert Aske, dated 1689. Established by an Act of Parliament, the charity acquired the Pitfield Street site, and invested the balance of the bequest in lands in Kent. Robert Hooke designed the first buildings, which were completed in 1695. The foundation housed twenty poor freemen of the Company and a school for twenty sons of freemen. After the development of the grounds for housing, the original buildings were demolished in 1822 and replaced by a range designed by David Riddell Roper, completed in 1827. Changes in the charity during 1873 led to the closure of the almshouses and expansion of the school; Shoreditch Vestry then prevailed the London County Council to house Shoreditch Technical Institute there from 1898.

Henry married Louise Tozer, daughter of Robert John Tozer and Mary Davies, on 20 Feb 1867 in St. Mary's, Islington, London, England.¹ (Louise Tozer was born on 30 Mar 1846 in Teddington, Middlesex, England ⁶, christened on 28 Jun 1846 in St. Mary's, The Parish Church, Teddington, Middlesex, England and died after 1867.)
