Histories 
Henry Wentworth Dillon and his Shipping Business
It seems that Henry may be in some way linked to the 4th Earl of Roscommon, Wentworth Dillon: Wikipedia link
In 1871 Henry was a book keeper in a ship owner’s office and was living at Claughton Cum Grange, Cheshire with his widowed mother and a lodger, Mark Henry Weighill, who was apprenticing in a cotton brokers office in Birkenhead. They formed a partnership called Dillon & Weighill, ship brokers and agents, but mutually dissolved the partnership in 1875.
Harrowing was the name of Henry’s second partner and there was a Robert Harrowing in Whitby, Yorkshire, who owned ships and also had dealings with John Weighill, father of Mark. Mark’s wife was Emma Alice Turnbull, whose brother and cousin moved to London and formed a shipping company in 1874 called Turnbull Scott and Company.
Henry’s sons continued as shipowners/shipbrokers until at least the 1930’s. Edward Wentworth Dillon even quitting playing first class cricket for Kent to concentrate on his business interests.
