Thanks for that but the John Hackett I am researching was born in Walesby Lincolnshire so not the Portsmouth one.

Thanks that's brilliant. I started researching his younger brother Lt Edward Hackett RN who became Governor of Reading gaol. Edward joined the Navy as a 15 year old in 1809 and also went on half pay in 1818. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Almost all the Hacketts in Ontario at the time seem to have come from Ireland. There is a Edward Hackett from England in the Canadian 1861 census but no idea if he is the right one.

Thanks that fits in very well with his possible future life. His Aunt Elizabeth mentions him in her will written in 1868. The will gives a legacy to Elizabeth & Jane Hackett, Thorold, Canada, The daughters of Edward Hackett deceased. So it is likely he emigrated to Canada married had 2 daughters and died before 1868. Just have to find more evidence.

One of my distant cousins Edward Hackett born 1835 appears as executor of his Mother's estate in 1860. His title and address is shown as Corporal Edward Hackett, 15th Regiment of Infantry, Pembroke Dock. I am looking for information on the Regiment.

Thanks and RE Anthony hackett's loss of arm. From the Reading Mercury. His gun accidently discharged while using the butt to stop a ferret leaving a rabbit hole. He was 21 years old at the time.
