A firm Henriques Brothers, West-Indian merchants, existed in the 1800s [Jacob Henriques. (1911-1898) from "Jewish Encyclopedia" [http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=600&letter=H] . Also see "David Quixano Henriques" (1804-1870) [http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=599&letter=H&search=Henriques] . Retrieved 20 September 2007.] . It is not clear when the Henriques family migrated to England, but the middle name Quixano stems apparently from the marriage of Moses Henriques and Abigail Quixano, daughter of Abraham Quixano.
