Narrative
There is a Charles Griffen Henry on the records, born 1865 in San Francisco, died 1943 in Alameda Co, California. His SS Application (indexed at ancestry.com) says his parents were William B Henry and Helen A Wallace. His censuses consistently say that his father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother in England.
He can't be Nellie Wallace's son, unless she was born considerably sooner than her 1870 census and her death record said, which was 1854. But that is one possibility, since the other daughters on that census were all listed as younger than they actually were.
Another possibility is that Charles is the son of William B Henry and an earlier wife. In 1910, William said he had been married twice. If he only knew Nellie, then he might have listed her as his mother on his records.
A third possibility is that he is not related to either of them.
I haven't found Charles with either William or Nellie on a record. And I haven't found any of them in 1880, nor William or Charles in 1900, after Nellie's death.
