Narrative

Henry REEVES is the sixth known child and third son of Edward Reeves and his wife Fanny (nee CROOK). His birth was registered during the first quarter of 1866 in the Southampton Registration District and the GRO Index to Births confirms his mother's maiden name was Crook. He was baptised on 22 March 1866 at the Parish Church of St Mary, Southampton, Hampshire.

The death of his mother was recorded during the first quarter of 1870 and on the 1871 census Henry, along with his three brothers, appears in the St Mary's Union Poor House. He was just 4 years old, born in Southampton and a Scholar. His widowed father Edward and sister Ann were living at 22 Longcroft Street in the St Mary's district of Southampton.

At the time of the 1881 census, Henry REEVES appears in his widowed father Edward's household at 23 Longcroft Street. He is now 15 years old, and again claims birth in Southampton. He is working as a Shop Boy.

Henry has not been identified on the 1891 or subsequent census returns. It is highly likely Henry's death is that recorded during the fourth quarter of 1889 in the Southampton Registration District. He was 23 years old, a very good match to this individual.
