Notes for Vice-Adml Sir Henry (Burke) or Hugh (CP) Blackwood Bart
m. (1) Jane Mary Crosbie (dsp 1798), (2) Eliza Waghorn (d. 1802), w/1 s., (3) Harriet Gore w/1s, 2d (d. 1855).

CP calls him Hugh Martin but Martin was the second forename of his second father-in-law and it looks unlikely that he would have had that as his forename.  However his son Henry Martin might well have been called such.  So, for a very rare event, I am tending to believe Burke rather than CP; Burke clearly calls him Henry Blackwood, KCB, GCH.

Burke says that he was the bearer of despatches announcing the victory of Trafalgar.
