A couple of additions to my Coventry information:

I note George, Mary, William H (age 3) Coventry in the 1870 USA Census in Ohio.
In the same census Henry and Clementine are also in Ohio but a diferent location.
Also in an Ancestry.com database,
"Ohio Marriages 1803-1900"
George Coventry married Mary Metz Sept 21 1865 in Coshocton Ohio . This would fit with our George with son William H Coventry born about 1867. But this is not proven to be our George on paper.
Given the relative uncommon name Coventry, one could assume that this is George brother of Henry.....

In 1880 Census, Ohio, George and Mary plus little William H are again listed but this time George's brother Henry is also living in the household with George as Head.

It seems likely that Clementine has gone either through marriage failure or death, likely the latter.

Also the 1870 census has George Coventry, a bit younger than Henry, as born in CANADA, but Henry who is about 1-2 years older was born ENGLAND.

So between 1844 and 1846, Edward and Maria Coventry came to Canada/ North America from England.
I did not find Edward and Maria in Ohio.

At the LDS Family Search IGI etc I found a marriage of
Edward Coventry to Maria Asnick November 19th 1918, Sherbourne Saint John, Hampshire England .
I do not know for sure if this is our Coventry family.
