Henry appears on the 1911 census with his wife Ellen and their daughter Nellie Gertrude.
The 1911 census declares that Henry had 6 children but only 5 survived until 1911. Elimination suggests that Harry must have died, but I cannot find a record of this.

Henry attained his Second Mate Certificate in 1870.
Henry attained his First Mate Certificate in 1876.

Turner, of St. John, N.B., in the Atlantic on January 20, 1890."
Henry was admitted to Mill Road Hospital (West Derby Union Workhouse) on 16 July 1895, described as 'Master Mariner'. He was suffering from 'Spinal Meningitis'. She was discharged on 2 September 1895.
