One Name Studies: T to Z / Re: WAGSTAFF, Francis
« on: Sunday 04 February 07 11:34 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for information about Francis Wagstaff, born about 1837 in Pavenham, Beds and master of the ship on which my great-grandparents came to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 1879. He retired from the sea about 1886, after getting a steamship certificate and became a marine surveyor in Barking (by 1901 Ilford) Essex.
There was a Wagstaff family on the ship, but they were no relation as far as I know:
Walter, (b. Worcester), Eleanor (b. Staffs) and sons Frederick and David (b. Worcester).
Does anyone know anything about Captain Wagstaff? (Or want to - I have lots more information about the 1879 passage)
