Have you thought about purchasing the marriage certificate? It's the best way to know for certain who Henry's father was.

'The General Register Office holds a central copy of all birth, adoption, marriage, civil partnership and death registrations for England and Wales.'

Here is the link:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You will need to make a free account to search the indexes or, in this case, order the marriage certificate.

Click 'Place an Order' - England and Wales - Marriage - '1851' - 'I know the GRO Index Reference' and then use the information I supplied above to fill in the details.

I have never ordered from abroad but I assume it will be sent to you by post the same way as if you were in the UK, it will probably just take a bit longer (assuming you still reside in Canada).

Hope this helps you!

This is a transcript so source would need checking to confirm that is a birth date as no baptism date mentioned
