He then served on various ships, mainly to China, and even survived a  shipwreck in 1818 when the 'Cabalva' struck a reef (Cargados Shoals) about 250 miles NW of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.

In May 1825, there is an entry in The Fleet Prison Discharge Book, for the release of Thomas Blunderfield. An image of this entry can be viewed in the Document Archive in Folder B0714.

She died ³ on 27 Jan 1908 in Brownstown, Wayne, Michigan, USA. She was buried on 30 Jan 1908. Ann married ⁴ William Barnabas BRISTOW-B0647 on 28 Oct 1854 in Saint Mary, Bromley St Leonard, Tower Hamlets, Middlesex.

Ann was recorded in a census on 07 Jun 1841 at Ashton Street, Tower Hamlets, London, Middlesex. She was recorded in a census on 30 Mar 1851 at 8, Ashton Street, Tower Hamlets, London, Middlesex.

She was recorded in a census on 10 Jun 1880 at Brownstown, Wayne, Michigan, USA.

There is some confusion over the baptism of Ann. There are two records of baptisms to Thomas (a Mariner) and Ann in the Poplar district of London.
The first record shows Ann being baptised on the 29th Apr 1829 (unfortunately no birth date is shown).
The second record shows a baptism on the 31st Oct 1831. This would normally suggest that the first Ann had died but this second baptism record gives a birth date of 5th Feb 1825, also Ann's father Thomas had died at sea on the 12 Feb 1829.. In the 1851 census, Ann gives her age as 24 (31 Mar 1826 to 30 Mar 1827)

See scrapbook for images of the two baptism records.
