Lieutenant James Hingston

Barbara Walsh (not verified) on Mon, 2020-05-04 16:59

Lieutenant James Hingston Tuckey was captured by the Rochefort Squadron in September 1805.The Rochefort Squadron also captured many other naval ships,and East Indiamen.My 4 times great grandfather,Captain Alexander Foggo,commander of the Belle, packet ship,was also captured.One of Foggo's lady passengers,a Miss Margaret Stewart,married Lieutenant Tuckey 30th April 1806. Captain Foggo was one of 6 witnesses at the Tuckey/ Stewart wedding at Verdun.Captain Woodriffe was also a witness. Captain Foggo , in ship Trimmer, had already been to Australia in December 1800,when he imported 4000 gallons of rum to Port Jackson,much to the annoyance of Lieutenant Gidley King.This was a reinforcement ship carrying supplies for merchant Robert Campbell.
