Thanks for finding him.  It is the right one.  I have found the marriage of Henry to Elizabeth  Harriet Grimbley in 1855 West Bromwhich district. He must have changed his occupation.

The Birmingham Gyde family are all engravers throughout generations!.   There is a Henry Lewis Gyde b1829.  Are you sure you have the right birthyear?   HLG marries Elizabeth Harriet Grimbly who is the widow of Thomas Grimby. She has 2 young children. Her maiden name was Webster.  The children she has with HLG all have mmn of Webster.
HLG is an engraver in all the censuses.
