Marriage:
25 Dec 1879 (age 22-23)
Address: Plymouth, Devon
Jane was probably a friend of the bride and John Barr was obviously a friend of the groom and may have also been his best man. The bride's parents were probably there but whether the groom's parents travelled from London where they lived is not known. Who else was present is not known.
Census for household:
5 Apr 1891 (age 34)
East Stonehouse, Devon4
Address: Market House Inn
The household consisted of Henry who ran the Market House Inn, his wife Mary and their children Alice (age8), Charles (age 6), Florence (age 5) and Dorothy (age 3). Dorothy was actually named Lavinia Dorothy but at that time was obviously known as Dorothy. They also had a domestic servant Emily Elliot which meant that the Inn must have be reasonably profitable although she wouldn't have been paid very much.
His name is given as Henry James McNally in the register for the baptism of his daughter Lavinia but as Henry David McNally in the register for her marriage to Stanley Dominy. The former is almost certainly correct.
