Biography:

1. Henry Gatensbury was a married man with 3 children who worked as a Labourer, according to Supply 5/221 dated the 8th May 1801. Note: In this document, anyone not an Artificer was described as a Labourer. 2. In a letter to the Board dated the 29 July 1801 (also Supply 5/221) it was stated that the men who were burnt at the Corning House on the 16th June had requested that they were reimbursed for their loss of clothing. Mr. Gatensbury's claim amounted to 12/-d for a hat. 3. Robert Coleman recorded in his Minute Book on the 23rd October 1801, that 24 men were required to work at Faversham or be discharged. Gatensbury apparently refused to go and was, therefore, discharged, according to Winters (p.60).
