• Notes

  According to FIBIS a Richard C Shakespear, described as a cadet, took out a bond for 200GBP in 1826. He would have been 14, if this is indeed Richmond. Apparently this is the security a visitor would give to the East India Company. The Sureties were John Ritchie, Southampton Row, Merchant and Andrew F Ramsey, Church St, Chelsea, MD. There's also a publication quoted in FIBIS - Index to 'Addiscombe, Its heroes and Men of Note' by Col. H M Vibert, 1894, which apparently refers to Richmond C Shakespear.
