Notes

  • At the 1881 census Henry was described as a farm bailiff but by 1884 was known as a farmer.  He presumably benefited from the will of his father who had died in 1881 (will not yet seen).  However, he was declared bankrupt in 1885, the alleged causes being "purchasing stock at a disadvantage to enable mile to be supplied, bad season, and want of capital to start with".  His one-third part share in Cross Farm and various other properties and his own farm stock and machinery were auctioned off.
    Afterwards, he must have moved to Chipping Norton as licensee of The Blue Anchor public house, where, on 7th April 1886 he attempted to commit suicide.  At his trial it was described how her received a letter from his wife (Jane Shepherd) saying that she would not return to her husband on account of his conduct and the treatment she had received at his hands. After receiving the letter he asked his servant to bring him a drink of lemonade and brandy but when she took it up to him she saw him in the act of cutting his throat with a razor.  She immediately went to fetch help from a man next door.  He was attended by a doctor but it seems that the wounds were not too severed and he made a good recovery.  It was decided by the magistrates that a jury would not convict and he was discharged.  In today's parlance this might have been  described as a cry for help.
    He later moved into Oxford where he found employment as a cabman.  However his troubles were not quite over as he was fined in 1890 for being drunk and leaving his cab unattended outside a public house.  He lost his job due for this although later is still described as a cabman so presumably got another similar position.
