Henry Handcock

Henry Handcock (2 August 1834 – 1 December 1858) was an Irish Conservative politician.

The youngest son of Richard Hancock and Margaret née Harris, Handcock was at some point a captain in the 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot.

Handcock died little under a year later while hunting tigers in India. A report on his death, published by The Morning Chronicle, described the incident, where "the enraged animal" caused such injuries that he died within an hour, as the "most melancholy circumstances".
