Notes From Elsewhere
William Pengelly’s [qv] daughter Hester Forbes-Julian, whose husband, the well know metallurgist Henry Forbes-Julian, was lost on the Titanic
Hester, became his biographer. Hester became a writer and, in 1902, married Henry Forbes Julian, a mining engineer, founder of the Royal Automobile Club and co-writer of Cyaniding Gold and Silver Ores. Julian went down with the Titanic.
he joined the committee of the Torquay Natural History Society and became an active member of the Devonshire Association, both of which had been founded by his future father-in-law William Pengelly FRS FGS, the eminent geologist of Torquay. Hester Pengelly, William's daughter was also a member and it was only a matter of time before wedding plans were announced.
Henry married Hester on 30 October 1902 at St Mary Magdalene Church, Upton, Torquay. The service was taken by Rev. Chancellor Edmonds DD assisted by Rev. C C Tucker MA. They made their home in Torquay and lived at 'Redholme' in Braddons Hill Road East. With business commitments looming Henry had to attend a business meeting in San Francisco and for his journey he was booked to travel on the Olympic leaving Southampton on 3 April 1912. However, because of the disruptions caused by the national coal strike his trip was re-scheduled for 10 April on Titanic. On the Easter Saturday prior to his departure his sister-in-law, Mrs Lydia Maxwell asked him if he would prefer the new vessel. 'Not in the least' he replied. 'I do not care at all for palm-court and gymnasium and such extra attractions, and never visited them on Mauretania. I shall keep to the smoking-room and library, and only just look over the vessel before starting.'
