We know that Admiral Croft was at Trafalgar, in October 1805. He might have been at San Domingo - it was a squadron from the blockade of Cadiz, following Trafalgar, that pursued the French to the carribean, engaged and defeated them at San Domingo. However, he does not have to be there for Wentworth to be there, and I somehow do not think he was. Even if Wentworth had been on his ship earlier in his career, officers moved around a lot as they ascended the promotions ladder. In any case, the Crofts must have married in about 1799/1800, as Mrs Croft describes the fifteen years of my marriage when she is talking to Mrs Musgrove about her travels. |
