When Napoleon marries Mary Ann Chymist in 1832 he is noted on the certificate as "widower".

In 1851, all eight of their children were at home, and that was the case in 1861. By 1871, only four were living at home (William, Alfred, Alice and Kate/Catherine) - and two servants. In 1861 he was noted as being the Chief Clerk of the Masters office, Queens court and also as farming about 90 acres of land, employing 3 men and 2 boys. Ten years later he had retired.
