Look into this. It's the Old English Cemetery in Livorno. There is also a new one there.

I found my husband's 3rd great grandfather there and even a photo of his grave.
Good luck

John Martin Hanchett seems "interesting"
born 1780 died 5 July 1862
Married Irene Ann Brigman 1806 in Plymouth
Wounded in action and gets various awards
claims illegitimate sone George III, that has order of the  Bath, see https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1819/may/17/petition-from-captain-hanchett dfor his begin dismissed for fraud in 1819.
He married Anna Stuart in 1840
offers suggestions to turn Crystal Palace into a Reading room.
Then married Elizabeth Ann Langworthy in 1853 at age of 70! She is my interest as she managed Kingsdown House  Lunatic Asylum in Box which I have been researching.  She has a court case Hanchett v Briscoe that sets out marriage  as she tries to get money back from a trust she plundered.   
I must wonder if he had syphilis - GPI - would not be surprised given in navy.
Love to know what is known of his life after 1835

Hi Peter
I know a LOT about him :-)  In the process of co writing a book on him right now (editing stage).

I don't think I have the marriage to Elizabeth Langworthy though. 

Feel free to PM through rootschat.

For the Record - I don't believe he had syphilis.  He had a number of health issues stemming from his war wounds but I don't believe that he had anything like this.

Thanks - just he is so litigious etc and with his ideas for the Reading room use of Crystal Palace and his paint for jet propulsion of boats he seems an odd man Then he does seem to like the courts - his case to get money back from/for Elizabeth - a child bride at her first marriage - She had an income from her Father that was expressly not for use of any husband [though he set up the same for all three daughters] - I Need to look at the case of langworthy v Church when I can as that forced the sale of 24 Circus which si house in case of Hanchett v Briscoe.  Intrigued he married at 70 though.  Three wives - how rich were each?

Hi Peter, this is so fascinating.
My husband is Captain Hanchett's great great grandson - his mother was his great grand daughter. The claim of being related to royalty was later refuted by a relative - (I am bit hazy on this as I have not read my notes for a while).
I have been in contact with Deanne for a while now.
All the best in these ring times,
 Cheers
Sandy
