John was born aboard the ship where his father was serving at the time (whole family was with him). The Captain was the now infamous Captain Bligh of mutiny notoriety. An excerpt from John's brother's autobiography (A Roving Commission) reads: "After passing Cape Horn, Captain Bligh was permitted to make the following record of domestic interest in Captain Pasco's Family Bible: 'John Andrew Charles O'Connell Pasco was born on board His Majesty's Ship Hindostan, off Isle Grande, coast of Patagonia, in latitude 43 55 S.; longitude, per chron., 319 25 E., on Thursday, July 5, at a quarter before 8 a.m.; but by circumnavigating the globe East, and reducing the birth to the time at Greenwich, it will be on Wednesday, July 4, 1810, at thirty minutes past ten in the morning. -- W.B."

The Hong Kong Government Gazette and HK Standard published lists at the time of names from the gravestones, indicating the 'serial number' for the urn. Carl Smith's collection of index cards and notes reaching back to before the British takeover of HK is available through Family History Library. Information about births, deaths, burials, etc.
