Henry Bishoprick-- brother or son?

Okay, I've been digging (virtually-- Matt does the literal digging in our household, pictures of the unearthed names of Mark, Maria, and George still to be posted) further. Mark Bishoprick Senior is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio-- interred in the year of his death in 1872, and presumably transported after death from his home in Ottawa, Ontario to Cincinnati.

Apparently Henry Bishoprick, born 1812 in Richmond, Yorkshire, England (recall that Mark Senior was born there in 1787 or 1789), lived in Cincinnati where he was a baking powder baron. That is, he had a baking powder and other drug manufacturing plant on W. 5th Street in downtown Cincinnati. He himself lived in Glendale, and is profiled on the Glendale history page: http://www.glendaleohio.org/history.html (you have to scroll down about 1/3 of the way to find the piece about Henry). There's a fair amount about Henry on that page, and a bit more on the Spring Grove cemetery page which describes his service as a Union soldier for 30 days in 1862 when Cincinnati was apparently under threat of attack. He and the rest of his company mustered out of the Union army after 30 days, when I would surmise the threat to Cincinnati had faded. A little more detail on Henry and a picture of his cenotaph can be found here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Bishop&GSiman=1&GScid=43543&GRid=22677276&, courtesy of Kevin Guy, who apparently has a hobby of memorializing graves of Union soldiers.

Following through on that page, I found a comment from someone in Yorkshire, Andrea, who is trying to trace members of her Bishoprick family in North America. There is an email address, and I'll contact her if I can to see if she can shed light on the family in Yorkshire, which I've found very hard to trace. As she notes, Henry (who moved to Brooklyn not long after 1862, but retained his family burial plot in Spring Grove because he had buried two children there) went back to Yorkshire for a visit in 1881, when he stayed in the household of a Thomas Heslop. He returned to the US on a boat called the Egyptian Monarch; he was apparently traveling alone as there are no other Bishopricks on the passenger list. He died in Brooklyn in 1892, and his body was transported back to Cincinnati for burial in Spring Grove in the same plot as Mark Bishoprick Senior.

This opens up a new line of inquiry into the Bishoprick family. Henry evidently went from Yorkshire to Canada with his family (Mark Senior and Mark Junior), but then moved to Ohio where he met Thomas Redhead, with whom he went into partnership to create Bishoprick & Co., and whose sister Elizabeth Redhead was apparently his wife. However, his older children were born in Canada, with a gap in age between those children and those born in Ohio. He appears to have remarried in later life (after Elizabeth's death in 1866) in Brooklyn to someone named Julia (perhaps nee Davis), who was from New York. However, the name of the person who "ordered" his interment in Spring Grove was an Amelia Haworth-- possibly a housekeeper? He and his wife had had at least one servant when they lived in Cincinnati according to census records.

If I were to make a guess, I'd guess that Henry was Mark Senior's oldest son. When they emigrated from Yorkshire, in 1832 (if that's accurate) to go to Canada, Mark Senior would have been 45, Henry would have been 20, and Mark Junior would have been about 9. It's not clear if anyone else emigrated with them; Mark Senior married Maria Downing in 1862 in Ottawa. There are no records I've found so far that he was married to anyone else in Canada.

But this opens up a whole new line of inquiry...
