"The Pragmatic Pioneers"
Henry left behind him in England, his wife Sarah and a number of children. He had married Sarah Brimley at Leyland on 23rd August 1802, and they're first born child William, was baptised at Eccleston by Chorley in 1803. William was followed by Margaret in 1805; John in 1806; Ann in 1812; and Jane in 1814; the last two being baptised not at Eccleston By Chorley as were the others, but at Euxton. William, Margaret and Ann all came to the Colony of New South Wales with their mother on the "Morley" in 1820, but John and Jane's fate is unknown. John was certainly dead by 1823 when another child was given the same name, and Jane may also have died in infancy.
