HENRY surname
« on: Sunday 15 February 09 20:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi All ..am fairley new to this, but have now I think got a few leads to go on is anyone out there researching the HENRY surname.....my grandfather was Matthew Henry and he married Alice Fogarty in March 1930...I dont have his date of birth as yet all I know is he died at the age of 32  and Alice died  after giving birth to there youngest child, all children were placed in Holly Mount childrens home in Bury Manchester for a time I also know that Matthew had a brother called David??? know nothing about him at this stage.....thanks for taking the time to read this...... :)

Moderator comment: as usual, please be careful with details you might find about the children - they may still be alive.

Your first port of call should be the marriage certificate.  That will give you loads of info about Matthew- how old he was, his occupation, his address, his father's name, etc. And also about Alice.

Do you know about what year Matthew and Alice died? I guess they both died sometime in the 1930s maybe?
