Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs by Harry Clifton (1832-1872)
Subject: RE: Help: Harry Clifton Songwriter
Just a few bits of interest.....
Henry (Harry) Robert Clifton was born at Hoddesdon and was Christened on the 20th of May 1832 at Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. Parents were Henry and Harriet Clifton.
His father ,I think, died in 1837. In 1841 he was living in the High Street, Broxbourne with his mother.
I can't find him on any other censuses until 1871 when he was boarding at Union Street, St Andrew, Plymouth with his common law wife Fanny (Edwards).
Harry Clifton died in 1872 and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
