Census, 1861 for Edwin Chatfield Gender: Male Age: 20 Birthplace: Hastings, Sussex Record Type: Vessel Registration District: British Ships In Home Ports It is likely that this is the Edwin who drowned when the fishing boat "Crystal Palace" went down in a storm off Plymouth. Hastings and Area, Past and Present 9th March 1862 tragedy. The sinking of the Hastings lugger Crystal Palace. OnThisDay, March 9th 1862, left six widows and 11 children under 12 years old unsupported. The Crystal Palace was on the western mackerel voyage and trying to enter Plymouth harbour in a gale, when she shipped two seas and went down immediately. Seven men and a boy were lost in this one tragedy, the worst to befall a Hastings boat between at least 1850 and today. The crew were George Page (skipper), George Sargent, Joseph Cramp, James Peters, William Down, Edwin CHATFIELD, Henry Swain and the boy, William Bates. Sargent’s wife was in labour on the day of the tragedy. In addition, another man, John Sargent, was washed overboard from another boat, the Palace, on the same day at Plymouth bringing the total loss to nine. The mayor of Hastings immediately started a public fund, collecting more than £500 in three months. Most of this money went to the widows and orphans, but the owners of the Crystal Palace also asked for - and received - £17 9s 6d that they had given to the widows prior to the accident as an advance on their husbands’ wages! Pictured is the appeal that appeared in various newspapers and other places. I was confused at the date in that being given as the 8th but with the help of Nona at the Fishermen's Museum last year and a HSLO newspaper cutting from the time it is clear that the fishing fleet that left Plymouth in search of mackerel on 8th March was struck by a terrible storm and some boats rode it our overnight. Sadly the Crystal Palace was swamped by sea at around 11am the next morning, Sunday 9th, while attempting to navigate a breakwater off Plymouth. No bodies were found and the stern washed ashore that afternoon which is how they knew which boat had sunk. How awful that the boat owners wanted back the wages they had advanced to the dead men before the trip! See also a newspaper clipping in the comments.

| Burial Plot: SW 1/4 241 R-3 Find A Grave Memorial# 25202635 ===== Newspaper article. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 28 1895. - Egbert H. CHATFIELD, in a saloon argument, made the announcement that he was a member of the A. P. A. Dominick Kearus, a bystander, said: "I am glad there is one man willing to acknowledge it." Upon this Chatfield drew a revolver and shot Kearns, killing him. --- Result of the Inquest Over the Remains of Dominick Kearns Evidence of Various Persons Who Witnessed the Shooting Deceased Came to His Death from a Bullet Fired by Egbert H. Chatfield. As a result of the coroner's inquiry into the death of Dominick Kearns, Egbert H. Chatfield stands charged by the coroner's jury with murder. It is understood that the case will be presented to the grandjury some time today. Several witnesses who will go before the grand jury did not testify at the coroner's inquest. These men will swear to what took place in Mrs. Walter's place previous to the shooting. Officer Williamson will be one of these witnesses. About an hour before the murder took place Pat Slattery approached him as he was walking on Plymouth avenue and asked him why he did not arrest Chatfield. Slattery, it is said, claims that Chatfield had tried to shoot him. John Mathias, who as on the stand when The Union went to press yesterday, described what took place in the Curvin barroom, as follows: "Chatfield and Kearns walked up and down the length of the table six or seven times. I first saw the revolver in Bert's hands as he stood at the bar. He was tapping it nervously on the bar. Kearns said Chatfield was a coward and did not dare to shoot. Witness was sitting down. Stewart stood still and took no part in the discussion. Curvin called to the men to keep quiet. Bert went around the end of the table. Kearns said to him "You are a coward if you do not walk out". Chatfield went to the southwest corner of the table and drew a revolver. Kearns said "That cuts no ice with me; I'll jam it down your throat". They passed around the table till Kearns stood at the northeast corner and Chatfield at the southeast corner, and the shooting followed. I saw nothing in Kearns' hand. I heard Chatfield say he had a revolver to protect himself from Slattery and his gang, who would waylay him if they got a chance. This was before Kearns called him names." It will be noticed that there is a discrepancy as to the relative position of the two men in the room at the time of the shooting. Mathias and Stewart place Kearns at or near the end closest to the bar and Chatfield at the other extremity of the table. Curvin is not positive, but thinks the position of the men was reversed, and the remaining eye-witnesses, John J. Curvin and Cooligan say Chatfield was at the bar end of the table and that Kearns was at the north end. Dr. HinckellL described the results of the autopsy which he performed on the body of Kearns. Thomas Curvin, the proprietor of the hotel where the shooting oc... --- Egbert Chatfield H. Chatfield was arrested and tried for murder of Dominik Kearns in Rochester, N.Y at the Thomas Curvin`s Brooks Avenue Tavern on May 26th, 1895. He was acquitted. The story was from the Democrat and Chronicle Sunday, Dec. 6,1981. I am sure if you Google it you can read about it. Egbert died by drowning years later.
