Yes Henry is an interesting character. I think that is why I am having problems finding information on him. Married twice but not sure if he divorced either lady.

He claimed to be a bachelor when he married Hannah

Henry Whitchead Milne
Birth Year: abt 1849
Age: 23
Marriage Date: 13 Oct 1872
Parish: Manchester, St John
Parish as it Appears: Manchester
Father's name: Sames Milne
Spouse's Name: Hannah Wilson
Spouse's Father's Name: Sames Wilson

Before I posted here I did debate where to commence my search. Sorry as I am new to the community and trying find my way. I will definitely consider your suggestion for future threads.

Yes I thought Henry may have emigrated. Pity he may have emigrated before any records were taken. I even considered he may have changed his name. I might need to look around the world for Henry Whitehead Milne.

Would have been best to have put this enquiry on that thread so we didn't duplicate look l ups

It may be he emigrated shipping records don't start till 1890

There doesn't seem to be a death for him as Henry Whitehead Milne

Hi All

Thank you for the above information. I have the above information. I cannot find out what happened to Henry Milne after 1881. There seems to be no trail of Henry. I cannot find information regarding his death (when and/or where).

I am not sure where else to look. If anyone has suggestions it will be greatly appreciated.

Linda

Not seeing Jane Leigh after the 1881 census

What were the names of her other children ?

Could Hannah have remarried?

Well they have give Jos the second name of Milne. So he is one of their children

I am trying to find information on Henry Whitehead Milne born 1848 in Crompton, Lancashire. His parents were James and Ann Milne.

Henry was married twice (Matty Halkyard and Hannah Wilson). From what I have found Henry lived in Lymm, Cheshire in 1881 (Census) and had a relationship with my 2nd great grandmother, Jane Leigh. She never married and had 3 children, which I think Henry may have been the father.

Henry seems to be mysterious and elusive. I cannot find much information. I will appreciate any information on Henry Whitehead Milne.

Thank you
Linda
