Henry Dacres

London merchant, aged 34 when he gave testimony in the English Admiralty Court in February 1658(59).

Just possible the same person in Middlesex Hearth Tax,

Henry Dakers Esqr. 9 hearths^[1]
- Residence seems to have been near church, since 1 hearth church vestry is four entries above Dakers, and Dakers' entry is surrounded by relatively high hearth number entries

Just possible that he is the same person as in the Little London Directory of 1677:
