Ross, Andrew

Andrew Ross was born in 1814, son of Robert Ross and nephew of the Arctic explorer, John Ross. He was educated at Glasgow University and, in 1832, was appointed a bookkeeper in the counting house of a Glasgow firm. Between 1834 and 1835, he assisted John Ross with the preparation of the narrative of the British Northwest Passage Expedition, 1829-1833, and he computed the meteorological tables for the Appendix.
