Henry Penfold was born around 1707.1
His first wife, whose name is not known, died before 1754. On the 26th September 1754, described as a yeoman of Slinfold, he married (J9) Elizabeth Furlonger at Wisborough Green, Sussex, by licence from the Archdeaconry of Chichester. Their only known child was (J7) Elizabeth, baptised at Slinfold in 1756.2
In the last decade of the eighteenth century there was a peruke maker of this name living in South Street, Horsham, but it seems highly likely that this may have been a son of the same name.3
Henry Penfold probably died before the 8th January 1798.4
