John Highwood in 1871 is a Shoemaker

When and where was HENRY born?

Nothing on the 1871 census to suggest that JOHN is the father of the younger Highwoods. All of them are Boarders,and John is UNMARRIED, born c1808

The 1868 death may well be your man

HIGHWOOD, HENRY 52
GRO Reference: 1868 J Quarter in ROTHERHITHE Volume 01D Page 413

The age matches that recorded in 1861 census

I think you may have jumped to some erroneous conclusions

John Report 27 Jul 2019 12:32

Could anyone please help me with this Henry Highwood, he has completely got me confused. In the 1841,51,and 71 census he is down as Henry but in the 1871 census listed as John Highwood (unable to read his occupation.) he was a Boarder with his children in Rotherhithe. Head of household a William Robson b1835 Scotland.. I have finally established that William Robson an Inspector of Police must be this John or Henry’s step son. but in the 1841 William was listed as Highwood b1835 Scotland his mother Margaret Robson didn’t marry until 1841 St George in the East. My problem is I am unable to find a death for Henry Highwood in the London area, found one in 1868 Rotherhithe where the Henry I am looking for lived in 1861 but can’t be him because this Henry who called himself John was still alive living with his children with this William Robso and family. Unable to find John or Henry Highwood born approx 1816 Romney or New Romney Kent , death to prove it was him.
