Family Henry JACOBS, b. Abt 1833, St James Westminster district, London, England
d. 31 Mar 1911, Frien Barnet, London, England
(Age 78 years) Notes - From Gerry Newnham (email 16-Jul-2010)
He also doesn't appear on the 1851 database as he was in Ohio/Kentucky at the time, where he married Ellen Silverstone.
However no documentation of the marriage has been found - yet!
In any case the Cincinnati records were destroyed in a fire
around 1870 and although the records have been reconstructed Henry was back in England by then so probably wasn't aware that the authorities were asking people to re-register.
