This batch of Ellies are the 24 year old Able Seamen from HMS Terror & Erebus, 1845.
Samuel Crispe, from Terror
Robert Johns, from Ereb^s
William Mark, from Erebus
Francis Pocock, from Erebus. I wonder if he pronounced his name, as I would, Poke-ock, or perhaps another way - a suburb of my city is called Cockburn & people are resolute on saying it "Co-burn".
John Strickland, from Erebus.
John Bates, from Terror
William (or David, sources vary) Sims, from Terror.
