went too far, he decided to remove the business again. In January 1861 he was fined for not removing
the snow before his shop. He denied this. In June 1862 he has an aquarium with a fish with 3 tails which
you could come and admire. March 1863 is his last add on this address, in December the shop has been
taken over. June 15th 1863 he marries Fanny Lees. From May 1864 he's located on 51 Spon Street. Henry
