I cant find a passenger list for him. If the below obituary is your fella this is all i can find for when he got here.

Mr Maston who was 67 years of age was born in Yorkshire and came to Sydney when a young man.

I knew he died at sea and was buried in Aden. That's not India though. :biggrin:

I didn't have that particular record.

 

[DaveHam9]

Nothing but a long list of names. Over 850 arrived unassisted.

Name: William Maston
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 6 Oct 1883

Not even an age.

But perhaps a brother to check out:

Name: Joseph Maston
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 6 Oct 1883
Vessel Name: Gladstone

No Joseph here:

I can't see the marriage of Samuel & Rhoda.

At least one male missing here:

Rhoda Waite

christening: 6 September 1832 SALEM CHAPEL BRIDGE STREET-INDEPENDENT,OTLEY,YORK,ENGLAND

[DaveHam9]

Two older ones but I can't find a reg for a Joseph.

Births Dec Qtr 1852
Maston William Otley 9a 120

Births Mar Qtr 1854
Maston William Otley 9a 108


It's looking as though that 1883 arrival is not the right one.

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't find a marriage or death in NSW for a Joseph MASTON or variations.
