Name |
Solomon Hougham Royes |
Born |
Bef 21 Sep 1797 |
Islington, London, England |
Baptized |
21 Sep 1797 |
St George the Martyr, Queen Square, Camden, London, England [1] |
- This entry in the church baptismal register is dated 30 May 1798 and reads: "Solomon Hougham _ Son of Solomon and Ann Hannah Royes received into [the] Church _ baptized September 21 1797 Little Ormond Street".
Comment: Today there are a number of hospitals in Great Ormond Street so it is feasible that Solomon was baptized in a hospital (or at home) in Little Ormond Street, perhaps because it was feared he might not live. Was the baptism not recorded when it should have and so an entry made eight months later in the parish register?

Notes |
1. He is mentioned in Gillian West's article ( http://royroyes.net/genealogy/showmedia.php?mediaID=660) which seeks to trace the influence of Charles Dickens's godfather, Christopher Huffam, on Dombey and Son. He is referred to as son of Solomon and serving as an assistant surgeon with the East India Company who died at the company's establishment in Madras, India.
2. The following entry can be found in the Families in British India Society website:
http://www.search.fibis.org/html/detail.php?type=pub&id=27978
Surname Royes
First Names: Solomon Hougham
Date: 23 Jul 1838

3. KGR has in his data the following:
British Library East India Company Medical Services.
Records of the Military Department
Entry to the military, medical and nursing services of the East India Company's Army (1753-1861) and the Indian Army (1861-1940)
Assistant Surgeons ' and Surgeons' Papers, EIC Medical Service (1804-1858) and Indian Medical Service (1858-1914)
FILE - Assistant-Surgeons' Papers (EIC) - ref. IOR/L/MIL/9/380 - date: 1827-1828
item: Rogers, Solomon Hougham [1827] - ref. IOR/L/MIL/9/380/57-62 [n.d.]
[In light of the other evidence, it is likely that "Rogers" is a misreading of "Royes"]
4. Several of his siblings have "Hougham" as their second name, no doubt reflecting the strong relationship between Solomon Royes senior and Solomon Hougham, who was his uncle but also appears to have played a leading role in fathering him after his father died when he was young. Solomon Royes senior is the major beneficiary of Solomon Hougham's will.
5. A "Solomon Royes junior" is a beneficiary of Samuel Hougham's will, distinct from "my nephew Solomon Royes the elder" - Lydia is referred to as the sister of Solomon junior
6. Did Solomon Hougham Royes visit Sydney? The Colonist, Sydney, 26 Dec 1838, lists unclaimed letters from the Government Gazette, including: Mr S.H. Royes, surgeon, Madras Army.
