Uilkoxon 1905-yil 8-sentabrda Dominikaning Roseau shahrida tug‘ilgan. Uning otasi inglizda tug'ilgan Robert Stenli 'Tan' Uilkoxon, Yamaykadagi Colonial Bank boshqaruvchisi va onasi Lurline Mignonette Nunes yamaykalik havaskor teatr aktrisasi, badavlat ispan savdogar oilasining avlodi edi.  

Uning hayotida ota-onasi kabi muhim, ammo yaqinroq bo'lgan yagona ukasi, "Ouen" sifatida tanilgan katta akasi Robert Ouen Uilkoxon edi. Genri (o'sha paytda uning tug'ilgan ismi Garri bilan tanilgan) bolaligi qiyin kechgan. Uning onasi u bir yoshga to'lganida "to'satdan va sirli ravishda g'oyib bo'ldi" (u vafot etgan deb taxmin qilingan) va otasi uni va Ouenni (to'rt yoshli) onasi Ann ularga g'amxo'rlik qilish niyatida Angliyaga olib ketdi. Ammo, uning onasi bolalarga g'amxo'rlik qilish uchun juda zaif bo'lganligi sababli, ularni birinchi navbatda yomon tarbiyalash uyiga yuborishdi, u erda ular to'yib ovqatlanmaslik va qarovsizlikdan kasal bo'lib qolishdi va bu aniqlanmaguncha bolalar uyiga ko'chirildi. Garri raxitdan aziyat chekdi, Ouen esa duduqlanib, tutqanoq tutqanoq tutdi.  Ular mehribonlik uyidan Londonning Akton shahridagi Springfild uyidagi g'amxo'r Styuartlar oilasi tomonidan boshqariladigan yangi bolalar uyiga qutqarildi.  Bir necha yil o'tgach, Garrining otasi "Tan" o'zining yangi rafiqasi Rosamond bilan bolalarni o'zlari bilan Barbadosdagi Bridjtaunga olib ketdi va ular u erda ta'lim olishdi. Garri Yamaykaning Kingston shahridagi Wolmer's Boys School va Barbadosdagi Harrison kollejiga yuborildi. Garrining so'zlariga ko'ra, u 14 yoshida u Barbadosning suv ostida suzish bo'yicha "deyarli" chempioni  bo'lgan va qutqaruvchi g'avvos bo'lish uchun etarlicha yaxshi edi.

Shaxsiy hayot

Uilkoxon o'zining ilk kino aktyorligidan qarz olib, ukasi Ouenga 1931 yilda Londondagi Vale Motor kompaniyasida sherik sifatida o'zini ko'rsatishga yordam berdi va qisqa vaqt ichida u Vale sport avtomobilining rivojlanishiga shaxsiy qiziqish ko'rsatdi. Maxsus. O'sha paytda uning sevgilisi Londonda yashovchi amerikalik sahna aktrisasi Kerol Gudner edi.

The Stewart family (consisting mainly of maiden sisters), with a large house in Acton, accepted the abandoned children. The youngest, Ruth, took special care of Owen.
