- He was an artists' color (sic) maker, like his father (in fact, he took over the business). In 1871, they lived at Great Bush Farm, Kingsbury, Middlesex; they kept a servant. Neighbouring properties, including Little Bush Farm were still held by people with agricultural occupations.

"The agricultural revolution of the C18 saw the invention of new farm machinery, but the local heavy London Clay soil was not suitable for these modern arable methods and even more of the fields became pasture land. Most of these meadows were used for growing hay, grass which was cut in the summer then dried and stored in large stacks for sale as animal feed throughout the year. The fast growing capital city of London was only a few miles away, and this was home to many thousands of horses, both for riding and for pulling carriages and carts. So the farmers of Kingsbury sent their waggons up to the Hay Market, near Piccadilly, with food for the city’s horses, and came back with loads of dung from the stables to fertilise their fields... This pattern continued into the C19, but with small farms let on short leases and a single basic crop the hay farmers of Kingsbury did not become rich men... By the end of the C19 the hay trade was declining, in part due to the import of cheaper foreign hay. New uses were found for some of the pastures, including horse breeding and dealing, with stud farms at Roe Green and at Kingsbury House (opposite Kingsbury Green, where the dairy depot now stands), while Fryent Farm was used for dairy cattle. A few fields were sold for building country villas and houses for the well-off... Middlesex County Council understood the need to preserve some green areas, and acquired the ancient fields east of the newly-built Fryent Way in 1938 as a Regional Open Space... In 1973 Brent Council decided to retain the fields as meadows, open to the public as part of what has become Fryent Country Park." Brent Council.

- 1861: Police officer, living on Broadway, Stratford, Essex (now East London).
- Stratford had been agricultural until the railway arrived in 1839 - the population was accelerating rapidly by the time Henry arrived. I worked there in the 1980s. The Olympics was held there in 2012.
- The County and Borough Police Act 1856, made policing a requirement

- 1851: At home in Shoreditch; straw bonnet maker
- Married Edric Barnard (1833-1900), her first cousin, in Shoreditch in 1854
- Edric is a cabinet maker and carpenter; they live as one of five families in 4 1/2 Elm Court, Finsbury, Middlesex; then around the corner at 25 Great Earl Street. This was actually St Giles in the Fields (as endured by the Meadens, see Chapter 40.1), otherwise known as 'The Rookery': one of the worst slums in Britain, a site of overcrowding and unspeakable squalor, a semi-derelict warren. The rookery was a lawless maze of gin shops, prostitutes' hovels and secret alleyways that police had little hope of navigating. The brave census taker managed it though!
- Gt Earl St was one of the seven streets making up the notorious 'seven dials' named after a sundial pillar built at its optimistic period of construction in 1693 (and pulled down to discourage undesirables congegrating). It's respectable again now - the area is part of Convent Garden, and the street is Earlham Street. I was two streets away a couple of weeks ago; had I known, I would have dropped by... Boz will have to do instead.

- Perhaps this was for Jeune J & Co, cork carpet manufacturers,
Sugar House Lane. The first OS maps of the area were published in 1867, showing some of the works. It is now a conservation area (which took vision) at the heart of a massive new office development immediately to the south of Olympic Park.
- 1881: Foreman, linoleum works; living at 170 High Street.
- Lino had been invented/discovered and named from 1855 to 1864. It was first made in Staines. Perhaps in Stratford it was 'Corticine' a cheaper substitute made with cork dust.
