Henry Morland

Sir Henry Morland (9 April 1837 – 28 July 1891) was a British administrator in the Bombay Presidency of India who began his career in the navy.

The third son of John Morland, a barrister-at-law, and Elizabeth, daughter of James Thompson, Henry was schooled at Heversham and Bromsgrove apart from the tutorship of Dr Webster of Christ's Hospital.

In 1852, he went to join the Indian navy (originally known as Bombay Marine, a part of the East India Company), posted initially on the Akbar and later as a midshipman on the steamer Queen.

He saw action again at Perim in January 1857 and at Jeddah in July 1858 and rose to become fourth lieutenant on the Assaye.

He headed the committee for the Bombay jubilee address which he presented to the Queen leading to his being knighted on 30 June 1887.
