Thank you Elizabeth for all this information. What I need to prove now is which of these Henrys has a mother Rebecca Bunting. I would have thought my Henry would have been born in Terrington SC but of course cannot always assume. In the 1871 census, my Henry is still living with his mother Rebecca, his step father, George, and his five half siblings, George, John, Amy, Elizabeth and Thomas at Roman Bank, Terrington SC. This is the last I have any information on him.

Where did Rebecca's Mum live. In London it was common for young women to go home to Mum for a birth. Just a thought.

Thanks Bob...I am open to any suggestions to relieve the frustration! Rebecca's parents, John and Ann Bunting (Mindham) lived in Terrington SC. I have the baptism of Henry at Terrington also with Rebecca and William Neep-presumably the birth father documented. When Rebecca married George WARD in 1861, they resided next door to the Bunting parents at roman Bank, Terrington SC. And Henry in the 1861 census was with these grandparents so very sure they were in TSC all of this time.
