Death Notice:
"Another old colonist, Mr. Henry Garnet Soilleux, at one time well known in
banking circles died yesterday morning at his residence, Corona, Camberwell.
Mr. Soilleux commenced his banking experience in London with the firm of
Rogers and Olding, and was afterwards in the banking house of Smith, Payne,
and Smith. In 1852 he came to Melbourne in the ship Frances Henty, and
joined the Bank of Australasia in that year. He was stationed at Ballarat
during the busiest and most exciting period of the "diggings" there, and
when the rush had to some extent abated he paid a visit to the old country
in 1857. He returned to Melbourne the same year in the ship James Baines,
and then joined the Bank of Victoria. He represented that institution at
Yackandandah for some time, and was subsequently at Mortlake and other
branches in the Western district. In his position as bank inspector he
traversed the greater portion of Victoria, and made himself well acquainted
with the requirements and capabilities of the districts he visited. In 1889
he went to London on business in connection with the Bank of Victoria, and
on his return in 1890 he resigned his position in the bank and retired into
private life. Deceased leaves a widow and an only son, Dr. Garnet
Soilleux."
