Have you looked for the marriage record?

The cert would tell you Henry's age......and his father's name (if he knew him)

possible birth.....mother's ms Murphy

My Grandmother was Lena must have been mis spelt,but that is my Grandfather never used Henry i only knew him as Harry.
i was told he was from Irland but could be a red herring.

Lena's death registered in the same district.....................

The name by which you knew your grandfather is not necessarily the name with which his birth etc were registered.

Harry is a common diminutive for Henry

With the MMN of MURPHY, I would suspect that his heritage was probably Irish..............
