Bligh was a naval officer who commanded the Bounty when its crew mutinied. After this event, Bligh returned to naval exploration and in 1805 Sir Joseph Banks's patronage secured him the governership of the New South Wales Colony. He returned to England in 1810.

There are two further examples of Bligh in 1810 which have been left uncoded as they occur earlier in the year when Admiral Bligh was still abroad. This entry is taken to refer to the Admiral because his title is included.
