A Henry de Meillon is mentioned on page 11 of Albert Blake's 2015 book (Ontsnap!) as having been imprisoned by the British in 1899 with his cousin Copernicus Kepler de Meillon. This may have been Henry Clifford, born in 1877.
He is recorded as a miner in Jagersfontein diamond mine in 1896. The mine opened in 1870, now an abandoned open pit, is located close to the town of Jagersfontein and about 110 kilometres south-west of Bloemfontein. It produced some of the largest diamonds ever mined.
