Death of Admiral Sir Robert Ricketts -
This event took place on Thursday, at the Elms,
where, for many years past this gallant and
distinguished officer had resided.
Sir Robert Ricketts was born in 1772,
and entered the navy at a very early

and assisting, in 1815, at the reduction of Fort Boyer.
He was created Baronet in 1826, and attained the
rank of vice-admiral of the blue in 1841.
Sir Robert married, in 1802, a daughter of
Richard Gumbleton Esq of Glencairn Castle, county
Waterford; and has been succeeded in his baronetcy
by his son Cornwallis, born 1803, who is a commander
in the navy. - (Cheltenham Looker-on)
