I have a 4th great grandfather called Thomas Dear who would have been 23 years of age in 1805. He was born in Arlesey, Bedfordshire, the son of Nathaniel Dear (b.1748) and his wife Sarah Withall and was christened on 3rd Feb 1782. Unfortunately I have nothing to connect Thomas with a seafaring life unless you count his wife's maiden name which was Elizabeth Seaby!
I don't know how to find out more about Thomas but I very much doubt he served on the Victory.
