- Notes: 'In relation to the question about the births of William and Mary/Maria, I was working my way through the St Helena church registers, the minutes of the governing council and the India Office records. I also had to purchase a number of letters and documents from the British library and UK archives and these were not always consistent and they took months to arrive. I couldn’t find any specific registration for Mary/Maria’s birth date as it appears that it was illegitimate and that William was quite young.
In relation to William’s birth, we know that he was born on 21 November 1782, Mumbai. This comes from a letter in the India Office re his application to become a military cadet in the East India Company (EIC). It also confirms his father’s name. I have estimated Mary/Maria’s birth as "no earlier" than 1798, when William was either 15 or 16 and a newly appointed cadet. What is reported or recorded is not always right, but as we are dealing with a highly literate family here, I think we have to accept what he says and then estimate a date for Mary/Maria. ' |
