After Eliza he was in a relationship with Frances Mary Douglas and they had eight children. Henry and Frances appear not to have married and Henry was not named on their birth certificates as their father. He was named as the father of Eliza's son Charles Swain who was born in London in 1878 (depending on when she returned to London this may or may not have been true).
