Informatie Greg:
Henry Stephen would have been 2 years old at the time of the crossing.
In 1860, at age 17, he worked as an apprentice shoemaker.
Beyond that, I haven’t found much about him. He is mentioned in his mother’s obituary, so he was alive in 1868.
A death certificate dated 23 August 1869 states that a man named Henry Feltman (Veldman was often misspelled.) died of “intemperance and fits,” meaning that he died from drinking too much. A newspaper article stated that he had been found lying senseless in the street, and died while being taken to the hospital.
I don’t know if this is the Henry Veldman I was looking for, but because I could find nothing on him later, I suspect it is.
I don’t know if he ever married.
