So far I have only managed to find one son born to Joseph and Elizabeth, that being George whom was baptised 24 November 1771 (IGI). George married Mary Tapp on 27 August 1797 in Potterspury, Northants (IGI) and they had a number of children all registered in the Potterspury District of Northamptonshire. George died in May 1838 in Passenham at the age of 70 (Passenham PR). George and Mary Hensons children were Thomas (1798-98), Joseph (1801), William (1803), James (1805), Elizabeth (1808), John (1811), Levi (1814), Mary (1816-16) and Hannah (1818). My family line continues through William Henson born 28 July 1803 in Passenham (IGI) and he married Ann Atkins on 2 February 1824 (Passenham PR). They also lived in the Potterspury district and had eleven children, including the twins Reuben and Henry. William passed away in Deanshanger in May 1870, followed by his wife Ann in March 1875 in Passenham. William and Ann Hensons children were Jonathan (1826), Mary Ann (1829), Joseph (1830), William (1833), Eliza (1835), Jane (1837), Benjamin (1839), Reuben and Henry (twins 1842), Elizabeth (1844) and Sarah (1847). The twins, Reuben and Henry were born on St. Valentines Day 14th 1842 (Birth Certificate) and Reuben married Eliza Green on 8 August 1864 in St. Guthlacs, Passenham Church with Henry Henson as a witness. They lived in Deanshanger, Northants where all of their children were born. Their children were Louisa (1865), Joseph (1869), Eva (1871), Rose (1873-73), Rose Lily (1875), Walter (1879), King George (1881), Faith (1883), Reginald (1886) and Mildred   The photo on the left shows Reuben and Ann Henson with all of their surviving children (apart from Joseph).
