- Hard to see details of where he was born, but looks like St. Giles? . According to the 1871 census, from Sunday April 2nd 1871, when he's aged 21 and a sub-lieutenant on board a vessel in Bombay Harbour, he was born in Bloomsbury, Middlesex.
William’s obituary was in The Times and said, “Commander William Crichton Stuart Hathorn, RN, died on April 27th at Folkestone in his eighty-third year. He entered the Britannia as a cadet in 1863 and was promoted to lieutenant in 1874. He served in the Danae, screw corvette, on the Cape and West Africa Station, and later in Australia, leaving her in 1881 after a five-year commission. He was then appointed to the Impregnable, training ship at Devonport. In 1884 he retired, with the rank of commander, and took up ostrich farming in South Africa. A naval pension of £50 a year was granted him in 1911 , and a Travers pension of £75 a year was substituted for this in 1928.”
