Henry appears to have been at least informally adopted by his mother's "husband" Edward Delowery, as in the 1891 census Henry is listed as Edward's son (rather than step-son), with his name given as Henry V. S. Delowery. But by the time of his marriage in 1897 Henry had gone back to using his birth name of Swain.
