DescriptionBorn in Cheltenham England. Henry married Henrietta Brown ca 1855 in Birmingham, England, and they had one son. Henry then married Emma Handley in Birmingham in 1859 and they had seven children. They came to Australia in 1863. He lived at Nicholas St and Syntax St. He was an ironmongery store proprietor, and Mayor of Ipswich in 1868, also a Member of Parliament during that year. He was also an alderman in 1866 to 1867 and again in 1869. One of the highlights of his mayoralty was the visit to Ipswich of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, in February 1868. In 1871 he returned to England on the ‘Queen of the Thames’ but was shipwrecked near Cape Agulhas in South Africa and it is understood that the effects of the disaster hastened the decline of his health. He is buried in Birmingham, England. He died in Weston-Super-Mare Somerset on 21 August 1871 with his brother, Isaiah, by his side. His wife remained in Ipswich, capably taking over his business affairs.
