HMS Ontario persons lost in 1780 lake disaster

We recently discovered the British warship HMS Ontario which was lost in a gale on Lake Ontario (between US and Canada) in 1780 with 80 British subjects on board. We believe that there is a list of the persons that were lost on the Ontario in one of the archives in Brighton or London. This would include those persons from the 8th & 34th Kings Regiment and those from the Navy Royal Artllery. We would like to include the names in the updated book "Legend of the Lake", the story of the Ontario and the events taking place during that period of time. Credit for assistance to be given in the new book. Contact me if you think you can help us.
