Mr. Christopher Head was the fifth son of the late Mr. Henry Head, a well-known London underwriter. He had long been a member of Lloyd's, and, on the death of a brother in 1905, he entered the firm of Henry Head and Co. as a director.

In 1910 he married Mrs. Hill Trevor, daughter of Mr. H. D. Chapman of Kilhendre, Ellesmere.

From 1909 to 1911 he was mayor of Chelsea. During this time he associated himself closely with the artistic life of the borough, and took a leading part in the discussions at the Mansion House on the King Edward Memorial. Mr. Head had long been interested in all that belongs to shipping and insurance, and had made many voyages in trading vessels of all kinds. Business took him to America, and he undoubtedly chose the Titanic as a means of gathering further experience. For he spared himself neither time nor trouble in what he undertook, whether in his public or private capacity.
