Charles Witty born 1842ish was said to be a master on a clipper going to Australia. I have no more info on him except he was born in Holborn and married to Jane Bedford. Is there any way of finding out if he was a master on a clipper. Thanks

Firstly, have you found them on any census?

What was his occupation on marriage certificate?

Did he settle in Australia?

Chippie - is this meant to be the same Jane Bedford as in your original post, because father's name is different on marriage record.
