William elphick born 1818 hastings.
Father William 1781-1827 schoolmaster hastings
Mother harriet guppy 1781 - 1833 hastings.
William 1818 left hastings for nsw Australia ,arrival 6 dec 1838 age 20
The ship was the fairlee.
His calling was Baker.
The next evidence of William 1818 is on the ship waratah 1854 as a cook. So he's crew on this one.
Port of departure Melbourne and port of arrival Sydney. Nsw.
Arrival date 1 Nov 1854.
I have looked on every passenger and crew list available to me but can't find anything else.
I would love to know what happened to him and any help would be gratefully appreciated as always x
