Is there an established convention for assigning Henry numbers to the
offspring of cousins that marry, when the wife has a 'lower' number than the
husband?

We have a Priscilla Worfolk 1.2.1 who married Abraham Worfolk 1.5.12. Should
their first child be 1.2.1.1 or 1.5.12.1?

One logic says follow the lower number, another logic says follow the
husband's line. Which is the more logical logic?

For interest my Ultimate Family Tree follows the husband, my friend's
Reunion follows the wife.

Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

Peter Kettle.
