If one of the children was a Thomas Toft, born 1826 Sunderland, he became a master as well and there are three images free online detailing his voyages in National Archives file BT 124.

At least two more free online records for master mariner Daniel Toft of Sunderland BUT I searched only for the spelling "Toft". There may be others if you try all the phonetic variations of the name in the Shipmaster database.
