  Family 2	Henry Hays DEAN,   b. 4 Jul 1868, 36, Aylesbury St., Walworth, Surrey d. 1915, Camden, Middlesex (Age 46 years)
  Marriage	7 Apr 1890	St. John the Baptist, Islington, Middlesex   [7]
  Notes	Note that John Webb was one of the witnesses. I assume this is the same John Webb who Mary later lived with. Note also the similarity of occupation at the 1891 Census for John Webb and Henry Dean. Their son Henry was born 4 months if not less after the marriage. Henry and Mary appear to have gone separate ways sometime between 1892 (when Albert was born) and 1894 (taken from 1911 Census for Henry when he said he had been married to Edith for 17 years). However there is no obvious divorce or marriage for either of them to their new partner.
