James, it´s time to delete some question marks!
Here´s a last new thread, by me (for a while), with some additional info (and a contradictory birth year!) for the eponym ...
cockerelli as in:
• the invalid "Ardetta cockerelli" DIGGLES 1878 (1874, here, a k a "Cockerell's Bittern" [Synonym: Zonerodius heliosylus] LESSON & GARNOT 1828]:
Born 1819, in London, arrived in Sydney Australia, in 1841, as a Steward on the ship Jane ... in 1843 he married Jane Manuell (she was only 15 years old!), and in November 1843 they left for Hong Kong (where their son James Frederick Cockerell* was born the following year). In Hong Kong John T. Cockerell worked at the Commissariats Store and ran a guesthouse called the Commercial Inn. They all returned to Australia in 1848 (in a ship of their own) ... and onwards.
All according to "Gary Leonard (John's 3rd Great Grandson)", here. And I assume he ought to know.
Enjoy!
Björn

= John Thomas Cockerell (1819–1907), British sailor, inn-keeper, (later Australian) trader, collector, etc, etc. ...The next is a beautiful bittern— perhaps the most beautiful among the Australian species — and it is with great pleasure that I dedicate it (supposing it to be new to science) to Mr. J. T. Cockerell, under the name of Ardetta Cockerelli or Cockerell’s bittern.
