William Tufnell Lequeux x 2
I'm helping a family member with his tree.
We have the Henson family from Kings Cliffe in Northamptonshire. Henrietta Maria Henson married William Tufnell Lequeux in June qr 1859 at St George's Southwark. In the censuses William doesn't appear to have much idea of when or where he was born! Can anyone find anything about him prior to his marriage? William and Henrietta had two sons - William Tufnell Lequeux, who was a famous writer, and Frederick Henson Tufnell. Frederick married twice.

Many thanks, Jackie! I looked for it but couldn't find it.
I wonder where he got his names from?

His marriage! I can't find him at all before that.
He could have been born in France, but William and Tufnell are English. The William could be anglicised, but Tufnell is definitely English. OH has Tufnells in his tree.

Perhaps he was a foundling from Tufnell Park.
 How would you invent a name like Le Queux??

Wikipedia thinks he is French. It also says his author son was educated there.
If Wm senr was a foundling then his name might have come from the person who found him!

I wonder whether this is him in 1841 - no way of knowing really without any other details
