Doesn't help but I wonder if this is him travelling over. His country of 'last permanant residence' was 'British Possessions' and he intended to settle in Straits.

The Noel Potter listed in 1939 could be related to Henry's mother. Can't seem to find anything though. Is it a mistranscription?

ErikaH posted FMP's version of that 1939 record.
Here's Ancestry's transcription:
Nellie E Norman in the 1939 England and Wales Register Name: Nellie E Norman Gender: Female Marital Status: Widowed Birth Date: 5 Jul 1895 Residence Year: 1939 Residence Place: Kensington, London, England Occupation: Private Means Line Number: 9 Schedule Number: 159 Sub Schedule Number: 2 Enumeration District: AMDL Borough: Kensington Registration district: 2.1 57 Household Members Age [ Closed record ] Nellie E Norman 44 - widow, private means Ena Goodwin 25 - single, domestic service Noel Poher 25 - single, secretary, engineering firm, unemployed Margaret Eton 36 - married, boarding house keeper Otto Heilbrunn 33 - single [presumably later married Terresse below ] Terresse Bernerr 29 - single [ Obermeier on image, later Heilbrunn ] Ernest Graham 50 - married, Post Office clerk Valarie Fuhrmann 46 - divorced, refugee seeking work (later changed name to Forman) Dorris Fuhrmann 22 - single, refugee seeking work Robert Fuhrmann 25 - ditto
They're an interesting bunch, including several Germans (or at least with German sounding names), three of whom are refugees.
Noel's name certainly looks more like Poher than Potter - possibly another person of German(ish) origin ?? I don't see any other record for a Noel Poher - but that proves nothing.
But neither is there a Noel Potter birth in England/Wales which would fit with that DOB, unless the year is seriously out.
