However, Henri immigrated to Australia without the family, and went on to marry Robertha McGuigan in Sydney in 1903. He died in Rose Bay, Sydney, on 4 January 1926. Although his standing as an artist was not high, Tebbitt was a man of some character with a philosophic mind. Speaking of his own work in his manuscript autobiography at the Mitchell library, Sydney, he said: "I have simply endeavoured, perhaps with a vision obscured, to reproduce as faithfully as I could, nature as I see it, and if my efforts are indifferent, no one regrets it more than I do."Henri was insistent that his name was to be pronounced "Hen-Rye".
