ERRATUM AND ADDITION- [etc]
Captain William Henry Deave Hargrave b.1827 (Cork), documented in service on "Bridgetown", "Pallas" and "Hebe" in this publication should correctly read William Henry Deane Hargrave and any suggestion of a relationship to the Deave family of Cork ignored. Captain William Henry Deane Hargrave was the son of Abraham Addison Hargrave (1784-1838) and Sarah Deane (1793-1871). Captain William sailed for Australia from Queenstown on the "Hebe" 16 Feb 1853 with his wife, Mary Ann Jane Baker of Bristol, and an older brother, Charles Townshend Hargrave, aboard, arriving at King George's Sound, Western Australia 27 May 1853. While in Australia, crew members, attempting to desert and join in the gold-digging, were subdued and put in irons, and the ship then proceeded to Burma to collect a cargo of wood. Unfortunately Captain William Hargrave contracted a fever and died 23 Oct 1853 and was buried 24 Oct 1853, Church of St Matthew, Moulmein, Burma. Charles Townshend Hargrave settled in Adelaide, was appointed engineer for roads and bridges for the colony of South Australia and assisted there in the design of the railway system. Abraham Addison Hargrave, married to Sarah Deane, was responsible for the early design of the Cork Custom House, while Sarah's cousin, Sir Thomas Deane, participated in the design of the distinctive Quadrangle at Queens College Cork (UCC). Her brother, Alexander Deane, following in a family tradition, was also an architect.
My appreciation to John Hargrave of Melbourne, Australia for historical details on Captain William Henry Deane Hargrave b.1827 (Cork) and family - John Sutton.
