    Notes:


    --- "Islington Gazette" 28 Feb 1912, page 3:
    Sir Henry Vavsour has been slightly indisposed, but is now better. He will attain his ninety-eighth birthday in June, and still keeps his mental and bodily health in a remarkable degree. Sir Henry is the third Baronet of an 1810 creation, and has himself enjoyed the honour for seventy-four years. The Vavasours are of Norman extraction, and Sir Henry's line is traced back to feudal times.

    --- "The Queen" 21 Dec 1912, page 22:
    Sir Henry Vavsour. He was ninety-eight and a half, having been born in June, 1814, and he had been a baronet for over seventy-four years. His early recollections were of extreme interest. He could remember the Eglington Tournament of 1839, which he attended as a young man of twenty-five, and the presence at it of Prince Louis Napoleon, afterwards the Emperor Napoleon III. He retained his health and mental powers up to the last; and in 1891 he married as his second wife Miss Alice Codrington, a sister of Sir Geral Codrington and a cousin of the Duke of Beaufort. The late Sir Henry's title is now extinct, but there have been two baronetcies in the Vavasour family. The members of both families are much respected, and a few years ago Sir William Vavasour was heard to declare that his branch of the house had paid twenty shillings in the pound for the past 900 years. At the time of Doomsday Book the Vavasours held land under the Percys at Hazlewood, in Yorkshire.

    Henry married Louisa Anne Neville on 30 Jun 1853 in St. James, Westminster, Middlesex, England. Louisa (daughter of 3rd Baron Braybrooke, Richard Griffin Neville and Jane Cornwallis) was born on 18 Jul 1822 in Audley End, Essex; was christened on 21 Aug 1822 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England; died on 10 May 1889 in Grove Lodge, Winkfield, Berkshire.
