Re: Francis Henson a Blacksmith in Castle Bytham, Lincs. Would like to know if he was Mary Henson's brother or was he her son, in which case he would be Francis Henson Allen, son of Edward Allen and Mary Henson married 1786. If it was Francis Henson Allen he was married to Sarah Merry in 1811.
Any info would be gratefully received.
Thank you.

If he was buried as Henson, that must have been his name at the time

When was Mary born?

Why do you assume that Francis was her brother?

As Mary didn't marry until 1786, he'd probably have been a lot older, and though it isn't by any means impossible, it would be wise to investigate properly before drawing conclusions which may prove false

Mary married Edward Allen in 1786. Sorry don't have a date of birth for her.

Jacqueline Report 22 Feb 2015 12:23

I know she married in 1786, which is why I think you need to be careful about assuming the a man born in 1742 was her brother

Did you note the burial I posted as a possibility for her son.....with no second forename, which matches his marriage record.

My turn to speculate...

IF the 1818 death is relevant, this is his widow re-marrying
