Henrietta Horton [h.1.10.1]

Henrietta Horton was the first child of Henry Horton & Sarah Ann Hancock born April-June 1848 at West Bromwich, Staffs.

In 1851 Henrietta & her parents & younger brother Joseph were living at Walsall St, West Bromwich.

By 1861 the family had moved to the High St, Knutton, Silverdale, Staffs. Henrietta had 3 sisters & 3 brothers at home.

In July-September 1867 Henrietta married John Simcock, the marriage being registered at Wolstanton.

At the time of the 1871 census Henrietta & her son John H Simcock (6 months) were visiting her parents & brothers & sisters at Bank St, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. Henrietta was a machinist sempstress.

Sadly Henrietta, just 22 years old, died in April-June 1871, her death being registered at Wolstanton. Her son John appears to have been cared for by his grandparents Henry & Sarah who he was living with in 1881. It seems probable that he emigrated with them to USA in May 1884.

The children of Henrietta Horton & John Simcock were:
