Where is Henry in 1871?
Not with his wife who is Head of Household and described as 'Wife of Joiner now absent'
Her 1 year old daughter Ada was born in Norfolk
They are living next door to other joiners, one a dockyard joiner

On the original copy of the 1911 census Henry wrote None for occupation, this has been crossed out and replaced by Naval Pensioner in another hand. He could have been a civilian carpenter employed by the Navy in the dockyard and not actually served in the Navy.

In 1921 Harold Dobson was a wireless operator.
A Harry Dobson and Edith M Dobson were traveling to Abadan, Iran around ww2 era connected with the oil industry. Perhaps they were out of the UK for the 1939 Register.
