No, forget that - found that family in 1841 - father's name John

It cannot be him as on 1851 census he is with his wife Ellen at Vine court Cripplegate. Thats the addres on his sons birth cert

Linda,

This may not be your Henry on the 1851 census, he states he was born in Durham and Cripplegate is in Middlesex County, correct?

Linda,

You posted "It cannot be him as on 1851 census he is with his wife Ellen at Vine court Cripplegate."

I thought Henry's wife's name was Mary?

As I added to my post, I don't think that is the correct family as in 1841 the father is John:

OXLEY Henry Whitechapel 1c 253

Linda, you would have to check out the archives for Leeds, Yorkshire for this marriage record. It's before the civil registration.

Sorry Linda - confused my self - didn't read the post correctly.

Have you found his marriage to Mary Gray?

Still confused that you say he was living with Ellen in 1851 when Henry jnr (Mary's son) was born 1846!

You won't be able to get a birth for him - the nearest would be a baptism from parish records.

His marriage cert to Mary should give you his father's name which might help in searching for a baptism but as we don't know where he was born that could be difficult.

This may Ellen Oxley's death record. Henry would have then remarried to Mary Gray after this date.

Potty

Can't seem to find the marriage for either "Gray" or "Grey". Still looking at other misspellings.
