I think trish251 is correct.. this is from Trove 8 Sept 1897Thank you yes, see comment above.
NEWMAN.—September 3 ,1897, at his residence, 16 Susan-

Yes, I was being “polite”. My original post explicitly states what I am asking…As captain/master they can be tracked through the shipping reports of the period. What papers do you have access to (Trove apart)? Do you have access to The National Library of Australia - which has a range of English newspapers (Gales/The Times).
The National Archives has been mentioned and there are records on FindMyPast which reflect the NA (as mentioned pre 1835 a bit limited).
Are you familiar with Lloyds Register/Lists - again for master/captain only?.
I guess I should have been more specific in my original post.

The National Archives at Kew hold an organised and detailed series of records on merchant shipping as part of class BT, but most of these records commence after 1835. You seem to need earlier records, and I don't know what sources there are for that. You could try looking in the TNA on-line guides about merchant shipping.
