Just wanted to share my small breakthrough. Many of you have helped and been driven to lying down in darken rooms because of this gentleman. :(
Anyway I have found him in the 1841 census. HO 107/386/15. I had severe doubts that it was the right person especially from the front page that I was presented with on ancestry but purely because he was 6 and had been born at his mother's old haunt I opened the image.
There he was: visitor living in the household with the head of the house called Le Marchant Thomas and his wife Mary with assorted children.
Now this is where I ask your forgiveness and please not too much glaring over the top of the piz nez at me as I have put 2+2 toghether and made the assumtion of 4 (when it could be 22)!
I can honestly say I have no idea who Le Marchant Thomas is/was or where he fits in but given that Henry's younger brother was given the name Paynton Le Marchant my 'gut instinct' says this is my Henry.
Henry's mother Lucy had died in childbirth in 1840. She didn't have a sister Mary who could've had children of this age - so it is probably from his father's side John James Vaughan vicar who in 1841 is with his other 3 children HO 107/863/16.
