board the Bellerophon, at the Battle of the Nile ; Amelia, 

 married to D. Baldey, K.N. ; and Jane, who died unmarried. 

 The eldest son, Paul George Elers, married a Miss Debo- 

 naire, and by her had three sons, one of whom was a major 

 in the 43rd Regiment; another (George) was captain in the 

 12th regiment; and the third (Edward) a lieutenant in the 

 navy, who married Eliza Younghusband. By this lady he 

 had four children. Mr. Elers died while the children were 

 yet young, and his widow afterwards married Admiral Sir 

 Charles Napier, who gave the children his own name in 

 addition to that of Elers. The name of Elers has thus, in 

 the direct line, become extinct. These children are Major- 

 General Edward Hungerford Delaval Elers-Napier ; Eliza- 

 beth Ann Elers-Napier, married to Colonel Cherry, 1st 

 Madras Light Cavalry ; Capt. Charles George Elers-Napier, 

 R.N. ; and Georgiana Elers-Napier, now the wife of Major 

 Lacy.
