Captain Robert Ross

Apart from the fact that he was master of the Lady Mary Pelham in 1836, we have been unable to discover anything about the early life or career of Captain Robert Ross. We have consulted British Census records but cannot identify a likely individual from this source. We are currently looking into archival holdings at the State Library of South Australia, including the minutes of the South Australian Company Directors Meetings held during 1836 in the hopes that some mention was made of the appointment of Ross to the Lady Mary Pelham in that year. In the meantime we would appreciate any information readers can supply.
