Henry Ham married Sarah Bird in 1824 and they had children as follows:

• Henry William, born 1825
• Henry, born 1828
• Sarah, born 1831
• Elizabeth, born 1832
• Maria, born 1834
• Ann, born about 1835
• William, born 1837

In the 1841 Census, the family were living in Gun Street, Southwark. Henry senior is shown as a glass cutter.

Within a few years the family had been split up and it is thought that Henry senior had died so bringing hardship to the rest of his family although no suitable death/burial entries have been found.

In the 1851 Census:

• Sarah senior had remarried and was living in Clerkenwell.
• Henry William presumably died before 1828.
• Henry junior was a French polisher but shown as a pauper living in the Newington workhouse.
• Sarah junior appears to have been a servant with the Barker family living in the Soho area.
• Elizabeth could be the person of that name who was house servant to two retired people in Clerkenwell but the age is slightly understated if so.
• Maria had died in 1848. Her abode was given as Workhouse.
• Ann – probably the Ann from the Workhouse who died in 1848 but if so her age was understated somewhat.
• William died 1840.
