HENRY MANATON OMMANNEY, Esq.
[Post-Captain of 1806.]

Third son of the late Rear-Admiral Cornthwaite Ommanney, and brother of Captain John Ackworth Ommanney, R.N.[1]

This gentleman was made a Lieutenant in 1794, and served as such on board the Zealous 74, bearing the flag of the late Admiral Archibald Dickson, in 1796; he was subsequently employed on the Mediterranean station, from whence he returned to England about Feb. 1802. His name appears among those officers who received gold medals from the Turkish government for their services on the coast of Egypt.

In 1802, Mr. Ommanney was promoted to the rank of Commander, and appointed to the Falcon sloop of war. His post commission bears date Jan. 22, 1806; and his last appointment was, about Feb. 1812, to the Vigo 74.
