Much speculation has been given to the naming of Ellen Hill Measom as ELLEN CLARK HILL.

As has been found in other families, the name of the father is often indicated in the middle name of the child, in the case of any illegitimacy.

As Sarah Hill married Thomas Measom in 1852, and as Ellen is shown as Sarah Hill in the 1851 census as living with her mother in her mother's brother's house, I am assuming that Ellen is indeed illegitimate, and that her father is a CLARK from the Burton Overy area. A search of the 1851 Burton Overy Census throws up a Thomas Clark of around Sarah's age, which makes him a likely candidate as father to Ellen.

THIS IS MY SUPPOSITION.

Prison Hulk
HMS Justitia
1830-1855
Woolwich

Justitia was originally launched as an East Indiaman named Admiral Rainier. The Admiralty purchased her in 1804 to use as a 50-gun Fourth-rate, and named her HMS Hindostan. She was converted into a 20-gun storeship in 1811. She was renamed again in 1819 as Dolphin, and once more in 1830 as Justitia, when she became a prison hulk. She was finally sold in 1855.

Converting the ships to prison hulks involved removal of the rigging, masts, rudders, and various other features required for sailing. Some hulks retained some of these features, but all were rendered inoperable or unseaworthy in some way. The internal structure was also reconfigured with various features, including jail cells, in order to accommodate convicted criminals or occasionally prisoners of war.

The hulks, which retained only their ability to float, were typically located in harbours. This made them convenient temporary holding quarters for convicts awaiting transportation to Australia and other penal colonies within the British Empire. In 1798 the hulks held more than 1400 out of about 1900 people waiting for transportation to Australia. Most British prison hulks were decommissioned in the 19th century, although suspected and convicted criminals are still confined aboard ships on occasion for various reasons
