Henry and Elizabeth lived in Stowey, Somerset - a tiny village about ten miles south of Bristol where Henry was a gardener.
I know from both of their death certificates that he was also a church warden but have not yet been able to get to Taunton Archives to see the parish registers, which are not available from LDS, to see how much mention of him there is.
The church of St Nicholas and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Stowey where Henry was a churchwarden.
Henry was born about 1780 and died in Stowey in February 1851.
Elizabeth was born about 1776 in nearby Stanton Drew and died in Stowey in 1858
In 1841their married daughter Martha and her three children (but not her husband Samuel) were living with Henry and Mary. Also in their household was an illegitimate grandson Francis (probably not Martha's son). By 1851 Francis and his new wife and baby were still living with Mary.

- Martha born c1815, mar Samuel SAGE, 11 children, three of whome died within days of birth.
- Robert born c1816 mar Elizabeth BAYLISS formerly LITTLE.
