I wonder if Henry George did die?

Name:    Henry George Morgan
Event Type:    Death
Registration Quarter:    Apr-May-Jun
Registration Year:    1888
Registration District:    Edmonton
County:    Middlesex
Event Place:    Edmonton, Middlesex, England

This is the only birth record that fits for Henry Charles:
Name:    Henry Charles Morgan
Event Type:    Birth Registration
Registration Quarter:    Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration Year:    1889
Registration District:    Edmonton
County:    Middlesex
Event Place:    Edmonton, Middlesex, England

So maybe Henry John and Caroline moved from Walthamstow after Henry was born, to Edmonton, where wee Henry George died and then Henry Charles was born? From memory, back in the day when I lived in London, I think those 2 places are quite near each other, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine they moved from one spot to another.
I think this will end up being one of those things that I just never fully sort out and can only make guesses at.

And then to go back to the reference of Henry Charles being the "second son" - with Henry George dying, that would make him to second living son.

Or, if William Thomas is actually the son of just Caroline (before she married), then maybe they mean second son, excluding William, who has no blood ties to either Henry John or Jane Elizabeth. So Henry George #1 son, Henry Charles #2 son.

More speculation I'm afraid...

I am researching Ada Alice Morgan, who married William John Oswald
