Interested to know your source for birthplace of Henry being Deptford. Trying to determine if this Henry was the one born 1819 Hoath, Kent.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the same family, but, I'm trying to get hold of Jason Goldfinch who married Elizabeth...Don't know her last name but, yes the marriage took place in either 1980 or 81.
