Cornelius Hickey's 2nd son + The general tragedy of it all.

So, like, I guess a lot of people know that IRL Cornelius Hickey had a son baptized in 1844. Looking through the birth registrations of St Mary's parish, Limerick, Ireland reveals that Thomas Hickey was likely not his only son. In May 1846, John Hickey was baptized, with Cornelius and his wife, Bridget Garvey, clearly stated to be his parents. By then, of course, Cornelius would've set sail to the arctic- the timeline matches exactly if Bridget got pregnant RIGHT before the expedition, and then waited, as many families did, for a few months before baptizing the child.

Here's the snippet! If you find it hard to read, the ancestry.com screenshot is below.

For reference, the more well-known Thomas Hickey's baptism record:

Sometimes I find myself imagining Bridget. One child in her hand, another in her womb, waiting for her husband to come home from the sea. When did she start losing hope? How did she feel, watching them grow up, looking like the father that Thomas will never remember and John had never met?

ive bceome inspired

personally id give him an edible and a blunt and sit him in front of an aquarium to watch the fish (i think a screen would freak him out too much since hes from the 1840s). and then maybe billy could come hang out too (id leave early so that they can get their freak on in peace)

After rewatching The Terror for the third time , I find the most unrealistic aspect of it is Mr.Hickey thinking he's on the same level as Francis Crozier .

Mr. Hickey: He made me in his own image.

Hickey “Captain Crozier there’s something I want to say but I hardly dare speak the words” Fitzjames “ohhh speak the words Mr.Hickey” I literally love when gay people fight and are mean to each other

Hickey: I will donate blood if needed.

Goodsir: Thanks Mr.Hickey, that’s really -

Des Voeux: Is it your blood?

Hickey:

Hickey: It is blood that I own, therefore it is my blood.

Goodsir: ....

Hodgson: Hey, take what you can get, right?
