I am tracing the family of a friend.
Henry Herbert Hendrik (b1864, Jamaica) died at sea when a ship on which he was a passenger was torpedoed.
SS Falaba was sunk on 28th March 1915.
A resident of Liscard, The Wirral, his death was reported in Liverpool newspapers.
However I cannot locate a memorial to him?
Nothing on FreeBMD.
He was formerly an Attorney-At-Law in Jamaica.
Any ideas
-
His name was Harold Herbert Hendrick.
-
I don't see any evidence in support of his being a lawyer.
Death record: clerk
1911: Agent, Passenger Steamship Company
1901: not found
1894 Directory: Purser
1891: Insurance clerk
1881: at school

Sorry! Trying to do too many things at once! :-[
His father, Thomas Hendrick (d 1895) was the Attorney, and solicitor and registrar, and clerk of the Courts and Crown, Notary Public and Registrar of the Diocese.

He won’t be there, as he died at sea.
He appears to be on the Deaths at Sea index as H.H. Hendrick.
