Jan. 5, 1829, Paris, France; in 1852 Roger abandoned the army and sailed for South America; toured Chile, crossed the Andes, and was last sighted alive on a ship called the Bella, which left Rio de Janeiro on 20 April 1854, bound for Kingston, Jamaica; it was never seen again; in 1865, a butcher calling himself Tomas Castro from Wagga Wagga, Australia, came forward, claiming to be Sir Roger; in Paris, Lady Tichborne recognized him as her son on 10 January 1867; most of the Tichborne family insisted that the new arrival was an impostor; The Claimant looked nothing like Roger, he was also unable to speak French, in which Roger had been fluent, and he had scant knowledge of Roger's past; enquiries in Australia and South America then began to connect the Claimant with Arthur Orton (b. Mar. 20, 1834); a former sweetheart of Orton's identified the Claimant as Orton; d Apr. 1, 1898)
