1841 census : Henry living at Tenant St., Derby with parents - listed as Dyer aged 40.

1851 census : Henry living at Tenant St., Derby apparently as a bachelor and listed as "Head" with one servant- both parents having died.

It also appears from the 1851 census that, following Thomas Snr.'s death, Samuel and his large family moved into Tenant St, presumably living in another part of the large building. Samuel is also listed as "Head".

Following Thomas Snr.'s death, all evidence suggests the dyeing business began to fold. The author assumes Henry's property investment became his main activity.

Henry: a bachelor throughout his life who appears to have successfully invested in property and shares.

1846 onwards: Henry became shareholder in both the Midland Railway Company and the Metropolitan District Railway (London Underground)- these shares later inherited by Henry's nephew Henry Edward Tunaley (b. 1833).

Henry may have formed an attachment with Sarah Tunaley (Wood) following the death of John Tunaley (click here).
