Short biography of Henry Gordon BLISS

We don’t know much about Henry Gordon BLISS.

He got married with Mary Ann ARCHBUTT on December 2^nd 1811 at Old Church St Pancreas, London, England.

No place or date of birth. No place or date of death. No parents mentioned.

It is the same thing with his wife Mary Ann ARCHBUTT no birth, no death and no parents mentioned.

In accordance with the LDS, they had at least four children :

Mary Ann BLISS, baptized on 3 May 1812, At St Martin in the Fields, London

Maria BLISS and Sarah Elizabeth BLISS baptized on 13 april 1817, at St Martin in the Fields, London

George BLISS, baptized on 19 November 1819, at St George's Southwark.

There is another child that must be theirs :

Rosina BLISS (daughter of Henry Gordon BLISS) married John George Basteane AGER on May 8^th 1854 at All Souls, St Marylebone, London, England. (according to the marriage certificate).

Rosina was born around 1825 in Lambeth, London, England.

The only Henry Gordon BLISS that could be found is the one married to M.A. ARCHBUTT.

There is also another fact that let us believe that Henry G. is the father of Rosina. John and Rosina AGER had a son named Henry Gordon AGER born around 1859 in the county of Kent. At this time, Rosina’s father is already dead even before her marriage. I suppose that John and Rosina named their son after his maternal grand-father.

I am still investigating this family.
