Hi, Trying to trace my Grt Grandfather Henry, not sure of he's birth year, could be 1850 give or take a few yrs. He married a Emily Hill, date not known. I know of two of their children, Emily born July 1882 and a Samuel, as far as I know they were born in Hammersmith/Fulham. Thanks, June

Just read the image. I think Henry place of birth is actually Taunton. It's been mistranscribed.
