I got some doubts about the primrose being sunk in 1809 or maybe there was another ship with the same name ?
I found the following text about a primrose's Capt.:
THOMAS SAVILLE GRIFFINHOOFE, Esq.[Commander.]
Served as midshipman under Captain (now Sir John P.) Beresford, in the Cambrian frigate, on the Halifax station; and distinguished himself at the attack and capture of a Spanish privateer, by the tender belonging to that ship, in the river St Mary’s, July 7th, 1805[1]. He was made a lieutenant in Mar. 1808; promoted to the command of the Muros sloop, June 20th, 1813; and appointed to the Primrose 18, fitting out for the African station, Aug. 4th, 1827. After having long suffered under a pulmonary complaint, he died at the island of Ascension, Feb. 10th, 1830.
Also a reference for that Capt. into "THE COMPLETE MATHEMATICAL AND GENERAL NAVIGATION TABLES" book by "THOMAS KERIGAN", dated 1828, subscribers list:
