THINGS MORTLOCK

For starters, did you know there are islands in the Pacific ocean called Mortlock Islands

There is also a road in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, England, called Mortlock Street. Click on the image below if you want to see a larger version.

There are Mortlocks all over the world, especially in the UK, USA, Australia and South Africa. It seems that among other things, they have been Tinkers, Tailors, Soldiers, Sailors, Bankers and Convicts.

Do you know much about your family genealogy ? Many Mortlocks have made themselves known on the Family tree page. Even if you only know who your parents, children, uncles, aunts and cousins are, they might one day fit together into a comprehensive family tree.

Tell me about other Mortlocks you know of, even if you are not sure if you are related, it may all come together someday.

For example I was trawling through the web pages of the Maritime Museum at Greenwich England, trying to find out more about Captain James Mortlock who discovered the Pacific Islands in 1795. Nothing came up, but information about Lewis Mortlock, who died in Battle as Captain of HMS Wolverene in 1799, did.


There have been books either by or about things Mortlock. Due to the time it takes to download large images I have created a separate page to accommodate information about the books.

I have noticed that various lithographs of London scenery, based on ink drawings also by a John Mortlock, occasionally come up for sale on eBay I have been informed that this was John Newton Mortlock [7DEC1913 - 1OCT1990] son of Henry Edward Romeril Mortlock. He also drew scenes of locations outside London as well as certain famous sailing ships such as Cutty Sark and Victory.
