Eliza Anne Hanson, at age 18, left Kaapstad (Cape Town), South Africa, on 1 February 1838 on
the English ship, Matilda, destined for Batavia, Dutch East Indies. Her father, Henry Hanson,
died in 1830 and mother, Catherine Hanson-Blanche, died in 1832, leaving their children orphaned.
It appears that Eliza Anne's brothers, Charles and Frederick, left for Batavia several years before
the younger sisters made the voyage. Eliza Anne married the first time in Batavia 3 Nov 1840 to
Dr. William Middleton and had three (3) known children.
For more on this Middleton family, follow this link.
Dr. Middleton died on 7 Sep 1847, and Eliza Anne married for the second time in Poewokerto
8 Nov 1850 to Dr. Jan Karel van Haastert. Eliza Anne had six (6) children with
Dr. van Haastert.

How Eliza Ann Hanson found her way to the Dutch East Indies.
The register of Permissions to Leave the Cape Colony (CO 6067) had the following entries:

9 Mar 1833	Mr. C E K Hanson. Tartar brig (Capt P Rough). Dutch: for Batavia. [C E K - Charles Ebhart Kent, age almost 17]
12 Jul 1836	Mr. Frederick Drummond Hanson. Henrietta Henri. (Capt Spielenberg). Dutch: for Batavia. [age 18 1/2]
10 Mar 1837	Mr. H Hansen. Briton (Capt C Warming). English: for London. [This may or may not be Henry Hanson, Jr]
1 Feb 1838	Misses Fanny, Eliza, and Lydia Hanson. Matilda (Capt Comin). English: for Batavia. [ages 25, 17, & 16]

Henry Hanson, probably born in Scotland 1774 or 1776, was a British Army Lieutenant, who served in the
Cape Regiment 1808-1818. Ended his career by retiring as the Assistant Ordnance Barracks Master General, and
stayed in Cape Town. He helped build the first library in Cape Town and served as one of its first librarians, 1821-1822.
Henry died at age 56 in Cape Town, South Africa, on 26 Feb 1830.
He married in the Holy Trinity Church, Whitehaven, Cumbria, England, on 1 Nov 1803 to Catharine Blanche
(born in 1781 or 1784, died at age 48 in Cape Town, South Africa, 16 May 1832 [N54325/56] ).

Sources: British Residents at the Cape 1795-1819, Peter Philip. Full and Half Pay Officers' Children 1828
(W.O. 25/761) listed additional children: Henry, George, and Lydia. Birth years were given for Henry, George, Lydia, Frederick, & Eliza.

Notes on Henry Hanson:
1. Military records list his age as 20 in Oct 1794, thus birth year about 1774
2. His death at age 56 in 1830, thus birth year about 1774
3. His wedding bands/certificate with age 27 in 1803, thus birth year about 1776 -- why discrepancy?
4. Her death at age 48 in 1832, thus birth year about 1784
5. Her wedding bands/certificate with age 22 in 1803, thus birth year about 1781 -- why discrepancy?

Henry Hanson's Military Service Record: age 20 in Oct 1794; WO25/761 Officers Service 1828

11 Oct 1794	Lieutenant, By enlisting 12 men	Dumbarton Fencibles
24 Nov 1796	Ensign, without purchase	25th Foot, Ensign
23 Jan 1797	Lieutenant	25th Foot, Lieutenant
6 Jun 1798	Lieutenant, by exchange without difference	5th (the Northumberland) Regiment of Foot
?	half pay	Private reasons [Ill health listed]
1 Nov 1803		Marriage in Whitehaven, Cumbria
1805-1806	Adjutant	2d Regiment, 1st Brigade Royal Perthshire Volunteers
8 Jun 1808	Lieutenant, by restoration without difference	Cape Regiment of Infantry, Lieutenant
24 Sep 1817	Lieutenant, half pay	Cape Regiment of Infantry, [disabled by fall from horse during a foundry inspection]

Military transfer terminology:
"without purchase" means he did not buy his rank, he was given it.
"by exchange without difference" means he swapped regiments with an officer of the same rank.
"half pay" - Half pay was a system for ensuring a pension and bringing back experienced officers at the same rank when their regiments disbanded. When a regiment was abolished, the officers had to scramble to find new positions. The flexible half pay system allowed them time to sort out a transfer to another regiment which needed an officer. An officer on half pay can, pretty much, do as he pleases - he doesn't have to be with the regiment all the time.
"by restoration without difference" means to be brought back to active duty and gets to keep his last rank.

Military Units:
Dumbarton Fencibles, 1794-1802, from Scottish Military Society
Raised in 1794 by Colonel Campbell of Stonefield. The corps was dressed in Highland costume, with bonnet and kilt according to Hamilton Smith, but with bonnet and trews according to other sources. The facings were black. Strength not recorded but, reduced to 500 men in 1796. Served in Ireland, fought at the Battle of Arklow [9 Jun 1798]. Disbanded in 1802.

25th Foot, from Scottish Military Society
During the war of the French Revolution it supplied detachments for service as marines, some being present at the victory over the main French
fleet off Brest in 1794. After service in the West Indies the regiment was engaged in 1799 in Holland and formed the advance guard in the action
of Egmont-op-Zee. In 1801 it took part in the expedition to Egypt and for its share in this campaign bears on its colours the Sphinx superscribed "
Egypt."

1799    Netherlands
1800    Gibraltar
1802    England
1802    Guernsey  [islands in the English Channel, northwest of France]
1804    England

90th Perthshire Volunteers, from Scottish Military Society
Raised in 1794 as the 90th Regiment of Foot (or Perthshire Volunteers), by Mr. Thomas Graham, of Lynedoch, Perthshire, afterwards General Lord Lynedoch. Also, referred to as the "Perthshire Grey Breeks". By the Regimental Record Book, there appear to have been enlisted, up to 1812 - 538 Scots, 1097 English, 486 Irish, 23 Foreigners. As these numbers give a total of 2144, doubtless both Battalions are included. A good many Welsh are put down as English. The Regiment saw a good deal of service including Egypt in 1801, and the capture of Martinique in 1809 and Guadaloupe [Dominica] in 1810, two valuable islands in the West Indies; but was not engaged in the Peninsular war and Waterloo campaign. In 1815, they were designated as one of the six Light Infantry regiments, and were armed and clothed as such.

From Perthshire Volunteers website

1803 - Fort George, Scotland

On the renewal of the war in 1804, the 90th, then in Ireland, raised a second battalion from men enrolled in Scotland under the Defence Acts. This battalion remained at home during its whole period of service most of the time in Ireland-and was disbanded in 1817.

1806-1809 - St. Vincent [The Grenedine Islands, Carribean]

Letters found by Pamela Ayshford on Henry Hanson's Military Service:

Mr. Donaldson's Office
Whitehall, May 28, 1808

Sir
A Lieutenancy being vacant in the Cape Regiment by the removal of Lieutenant Ronald MacDonile to the Canadian Fencible Regiment. I request that you will be so good as to submit to His Royal Highness, the Commander in Chief my Recommendation of Lieutenant Henry Hanson on the half pay of the late 1st Regiment of the Irish Brigade [see note]. A Statement of his Services and a Certificate of his conduct accompanying this.

Donald MacDonald, Major General

To Colonel Gordon, Horse Guards
Colonel with Cape Regiment

Note: Half pay was a system for ensuring a pension and bringing back experienced officers at the same rank when their regiments disbanded. Henry Hanson was never physically in the Irish Brigade, however, was on administrative half pay status in a Lieutenant position in the Irish Brigade. Being on half pay status allowed Henry Hanson to keep his rank when he was "restored without difference" to the Cape Regiment in 1808.

To Lieutenant General MacDonald

The Memorial of Lieutenant Henry Hanson on the half pay of the late 1st Regiment Irish Brigade

Humbly, Sheweth

That in 1792 the Memorialist was appointed Lieutenant in the Dumbartonshire Regiment of Fencible Infantry. After doing duty with this Regiment in Guernsey for sometime, he obtained a commission as Ensign in the 25th Regiment wherein he was promoted to a Lieutenancy which he afterwards exchanged for one in the 5th Foot.

Private reasons induced the Memorialist with his Royal Highness the Duke of York's permission to retire upon half duty and so soon as these ceased he accepted a commission as Adjutant of the 2d Regiment, 1st Brigade of Royal Perthshire Volunteers but as the officers of that corps resigned their commissions on account of the new regulations the Memorialist is now unemployed and as he is anxious to enter into the service he has presumed to trouble you, sir, with a statement of his case in the hope of obtaining some appointment.

Aberdeen
8th March 1808
***
These certify whom it may concern, that Lieutenant Henry Hanson on the half pay of the 25th Foot was in consequence of letters of recommendation appointed adjutant of the Royal Perth Volunteers commanded by me about the end of Eighteen hundred five and continued until the corps were disembodied in Eighteen hundred six and during that time his conduct as an officer and a gentleman gave the greatest satisfaction to me and the other officers of the Regiment.
