William Brodrick-Cloete was born in 1851 or 1852 in Cape Town, South Africa. He was the grandson of Henry Cloete, Special Commissioner of the Colony of Natal (present-day KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa).
In 1897, Brodrick-Cloete participated in the Klondike Gold Rush, where he worked for a development project for the Canadian Mining Company Delevopment in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.
In 1899, Brodrick-Cloete also edited and republished the book, The History of the Great Boer Trek and the Origin of the South African Republics, which had been written by his grandfather, Henry Cloete.
He married Violet Kate Henley (1881 – 1973), the daughter of Joseph Arthur Henley, and they lived in Hare Park, on the outskirts of London, England. They were on Lusitania for Captain James Watt’s last westbound crossing as commander of the ship on 31 October 1908.
William Brodrick-Cloete became a member of a London firm with extensive holdings in Mexico with mining properties and plantations. In the late 1800s he founded a coal-mining town in the municipality of Sabinas, in the Mexican state of Coahuila. This town today is called Cloete, or San José de Cloete, which as of 2005 had a population of 3,977. The town adopted his name following his death in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915.
