Henry WILSON (General)

I am trying to trace the birth of my Great Grandfather, Henry Wilson.

I know that he died in Broadwell Lane End in 1933 having first married Anne Harris in 1876 and then, after her death, married Lydia Burgwyn in 1919. According to the Census returns from 1881 to 1901 he was born in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire around 1852 to 1855. However, I cannot find any trace of a Henry Wilson being born in Winchcombe around that time.

On his marriage certificates, his father is shown as William Wilson and the only birth that I can find of a Henry in Gloucestershire with a father William, is in Thornbury (which is not that close to Winchcombe)in around 1849.

Any information would be gratefully received.
