My great great grandfather's brother, Duncomb Dagar,emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1840s,apparently taking with him his wife, Sarah, and 3 sons -Dunken,b.1842,John,b.1844, and Elijah, b.1851, all recorded as Daker.
John married Alodia, b. 1872 in Pa. and had 6 children - Ida, Sadie,Mary, Alodia, Dunken, and Charles,b. 1878.Could this be your Henery Charles?
These Dakers emigrated from Bilston, Staffordshire, an industrial town to which Duncomb's father, Elijah, had moved from Much Wenlock, Shropshire, where he was born in 1779.
