The 1841 census records that the less than one month old infant was living with her family at Shoreham. The 1851 census records that the school girl was living with her family at Shoreham.

1.9.6  ~~  Henry Alfred Allchorne

Henry was born at Shoreham in 1843 (Sevenoaks 1843 June qtr Volume 5 Page 408) and he was baptised at the church of St Peter and St Paul, Shoreham on 29th October 1843. The 1851 census records that the school boy was living with his family at Shoreham.

Henry married three times – each time to a member (sisters or cousins) of the Pierce family of Walworth, Surrey. Firstly he married Ellen; then he married Sylvia Ann and finally he married Mary Ann. His first marriage was to Ellen Pierce in 1866 (Newington 1866 September qtr Volume 1d Page 326); she was born at Walworth in 1845.

Henry had at least thirteen children to his various wives – first marriage - Sarah (1868) and Henry (1870); second marriage - Jessie (1872), Arthur (1874), Bertie (1876), Charles (1878), Florence (1880), and Edgar (1882); third marriage - Albert (1885), Sophia (1886), Ernest (1888), Ethel (1890) and Henry (1893). As Henry’s third wife was considerably younger than her husband it seems likely that there would have been more children born in the 1890’s who must have died in infancy.

The 1871 census records that Henry was a carman and he and his wife (Ellen) and their infant son were living at 12 Bermondsey Square, Bermondsey. There is no record of the death of Ellen or her children but none of them appear in any subsequent census. (There are possible death entries in 1871 for Ellen and 1872 for Henry under the name of Allchin but this requires further research).

Henry then married Sylvia Ann Pierce in 1872 (St Saviour Southwark 1872 March qtr Volume 1d Page 128); she was born at Walworth in 1852 and she was probably Ellen’s sister or cousin. Henry and Sylvia had at least six children. The 1881 census records that Henry was a carman and he and his wife (Sylvia) and their four children were living at Mermaid Court (off Kent Road), Southwark.

There must have been some sort of genetic problem with the Pierce family as Sylvia died in 1883 aged 32 years (St Saviour Southwark 1883 December qtr Volume 1d Page 24). At least three of her five sons died in their 20’s – it is possible that tuberculosis was ravaging the family as it was extremely infectious.

Henry subsequently married Mary Ann Pierce in 1884 (St Saviour Southwark 1884 December qtr Volume 1d Page 85); she was born at Walworth in 1864. Henry and Mary had at least five children. The 1891 census records that Henry was a shop porter and he and his wife (Mary) and his nine children were living at 277 Weston Street, Southwark.

The 1901 census records that Henry was still a shop porter and he and his wife (Mary) and his six children were living at 277 Weston Street, Southwark.
