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.
