Thinking a bit further about this...
If Henry was given to Herman (official adoption did not happen until the 1930s) to bring up, unless he was related, the child of a family member, his birth name would not have been Gross.
There are 30 children with the first name of Henry registered in Jan 1888 in Marylebone. A hard slog to track them all in the census. We also do not know if Winifred was a birth sister to Henry.
Please come back and let us know the results of the marriage certificate. It is a very interesting problem.

Westminster registration district is easier, there are only 5 listed as Henry. Of course he may not even have been registered as a Henry.

Latest on Henry. I have found his marriage in the parish records of Alverstoke (St Mary's) and all the entries for father's name and occupation are struck through! Mum has told me a family story about him burning a lot of papers when he was younger; maybe he disowned his family....

Many thanks Vicky; you have confirmed some of the stuff I had found and also filled in a bit more... henry served in WW1, leaving the Navy in 1929. In July 1939 he joined up again, keeping his old rank, but was invalided out on health grounds in August that year. He died in 1942 and is buried in Anns Hill cemetery in Gosport, along with his wife (my maternal grandmother) Amy nee Child. I do have a photo of them together, taken during WW1. when I get a chance, I will post it.
Do you know where Francis Slowgrove worked? I am wondering if Henry was the product of a liaison in the household...
Many Thanks
