Mentions the xebec Odin. Same as the Hemmema Oden mentioned in Battle of Svensksund (1789)#Second phase of the battle?-- Trilotat ( talk) 21:07, 25 February 2017 (UTC).

I have gone to get the records in the archive in the Spanish Armanda. I have the large file of the Rayo for the day of battle at Trafalgar, it's enormously detailed right down to counting the cannon balls, and listing dozens of senior crew. and their ranks. It is confirmed on this he was a 'Brigadier' which is the same a 'commodore'. In all documents to and from the admiralty at this time he is listed with this rank. I think confusion set in, because when he returned from retirement he offered to return at a lower rank of needs be. There is no evidence this happened, and the record card I have prices his rank, I can post it here if people want or I can direct them to the online records of the Armada. I am changing his rank to commodore. Tommyxx ( talk) 10:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
"In the Central Archive of the Spanish Armada he is listed as an Irish citizen. This is incorrect as his baptismal certificate proves he was born in Spain."
This assumes birthright citizenship like in the US, vs. familial citizenship like many other countries. Even if he was born in Spain, both Ireland and Spain may have considered him Irish. 96.240.128.124 ( talk) 13:19, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
