General Notes:
Henry HUBERT was born on October 16 1757 and baptised on October 30 1757 in St John's Westminster.
It would appear that he took over his father's business as a Coal Merchant in Little Abingdon Street, Westminster. His will of 1845 names his late son Henry, and daughter-in-law Sarah Elizabeth. I have also found another daughter Ann William HUBERT who died between January and May 1844, leaving all her possessions to her father.
Son, Henry married twice, Mariah HUTCHISON, and, later, Hannah MANN.
A newspaper article links Henry, coal merchant to his brother Thomas, lighterman.
Henry died in Hastings, Sussex, in 1845.
[SS 2010]
Henry Hubert died 26th June 1845. The death notice in The Standard newspaper of 30th Jun 1845 reads "On the 26th inst., Henry Hubert, Esq., of West-hill Lodge, Hastings, in the 88th year of his age."
. The only possible first marriage I have found is on a marriage allegation between Henry Hubert bachelor of St Giles Camberwell, Gentleman, & Ann Woolley widow 13th Jun 1775 but he is a bit young to be marrying a widow and why Camberwell? I doubt this is him. His second marriage is to Ann Teeton or Seeton on 8th Jan 1799 at St Saviour's Church, Southwark. One of the witnesses was Ann William Hubert so it is likely that this is him (Ancestry register image).

INDENTATIONS IN THE SUN'S EDGE.
Several years ago Dr. Herschel, after tracing a solar spot across part of the sun's disk, until it passed off its edge, observed it to occasion there an indentation ; and thereby he made the important discotery, that the spots on the sun are depressions in the surface, or holes through the luminous atmosphere by which the sun sun is surrounded.\emdash Now although solar spots are not of uncommon occurrence, their magnitudes and motions, compared with the sun's disk, are so small, and the chances, during the sun's appearance, of observers being at their telescopes at the proper times for seeing a spot, or hollow of sufficient depth, on the apparent edge of the sun, are in consequence so small, that Dr. Herschel has not more than once or twice since, been able to repeat his observations on the indented edge of the sun, and numerous telescopic observers have never yet been gratified by this curious sight.
It happened on Friday, January 31st last, at one o'clock in the afternoon, that tvvo hollows, producing indentations, were at the same time coining oil the sun's disk, in the lower righthand quarter, as seen through a reversing telescope with a magnifying power of 100 times. Mr. Henry Hubert, coal-merchant, in Little Abingdon-street, Westminster, was then trying an excellent four feet Dollond's achromatic, which he had recently purchased, searching for small spots on the sun's disk ; and he saw, near together, two conspicuous and large indents in the otherwise remarkably true and circular disk of the sun, as mentioned above; that which appeared lowest was by far the broadest and deepest indent, extending to a great depth upon the face of the sun's disk (beyond the apparent loss of substance therein); the bottom or inner edge of them appeared irregular, and not circular. There were a number of small spots, about ten or twelve in a group, at a small distance from the above indentations. Mr. Hubert was in hopes of being able to repeat his observations some days afterwards, but clouds intervened at the time of the indentations passing off the opposite edge of the sun's disk.
He worked as a Coal-mercht & Wharfinger in 1829 and resided at Little Abingdon St, Westminster. 9
He worked as a wharfinger in 1836 and resided at 3 Little Abingdon Street, Westminster. 10
He worked as an Independent in 1841 and resided at St Clements, Hastings, Sussex. 11 (with Samuel Hubert, 73, and Ann Hubert, 60 both "Ind")
He worked as a Gentleman on 15 Jan 1845 and resided at Mill Hill Lodge, hastings, Sussex. 12
Henry married (Unknown) about 1780. ((Unknown) was born about 1760 and died before 1799.)
Henry next married Ann Seeton on 8 Jan 1799 in St Saviour, Southwark.1 (Ann Seeton was born before 1780.)
