Author talk:William Sewell (d. 1893)

sources

1850s only seeing two Otago jury list references to William Sewell, master mariner

cemetery records only show me 1895 burial: William Sewell, 67, Costley Home, Waikumete Cemetery

Crockford's 1898 shows nothing; 1885 shows one in UK though no indication of NZ => phab:F35441277 1885 Crockford's

@Beeswaxcandle: got anything more for me? where does the 1893 date of death originate — billinghurst sDrewth

REf'd in https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/imageserver/periodicals/P29pZD1UUFJTTloxODczLTYuMi41LjEuOSZnZXRwZGY9dHJ1ZQ== and this says M.A.

Seems that he was on the tour with Moresby in his anti-blackbirding https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/moresby-john-4241

Or not, cannot find a mention from a search of https://archive.org/details/newguineapolynes00moreiala/page/n9/mode/2up?q=sewell

If 1885 Crockford's is the hit then
