Whytehead 1902 - From T.B.H.W to J.C.B. 1907', 89cm long. Note: Thomas Bowman Whytehead (1840 -1907) was the eldest son of William Whytehead, JP, of Clifton, York who married a daughter and co-heiress of the late Rev. John Daniel Wastell, of Risby House, Suffolk, called Frances Westell. He was born on April 17th 1840, educated at St. Peter's School, York and by private tutors, and subsequently was articled to the firm of Gray's solicitors, York, where his father had served before him. Office life, however, did not prove attractive so he entered the service of Messrs Green and Co., Shippers of Blackwall, London, with whom he served his sea apprenticeship. In later years he saw a great deal of the world while in the employ of the British India Company and while in the New Zealand coastal trade and the South Sea Island trade. He made one voyage in the Mission Steamer Southern Cross with the late Bishop Patterson. He enjoyed many experiences in the New Zealand bush and goldfield before taking up journalism in connection with the New Zealand Herald. In 1870 he married a daughter of the late Mr Thomas Drought of Plunketstown House, Castledermot, Ireland and shortly afterwards returned to England. He again took up journalism, being for a time editor of the Yorkshire Gazette, and pursued that vocation with success until 1886, when he was appointed registrar and chapter clerk to the Dean and Chapter of York, an appointment he held until his death. The New Zealand 'Malborough Express' reported 'By the Mail from England news was received of the death, at Acomb, Yorkshire, on September 5, of Mr T.B. Whytehead, chapter clerk, registrar and chamberlain of the Dean of York, and formally a resident of Auckland.' - The Yorkshire Herald, of September 6, says:-'The deceased gentleman was 67 years of age, and leaves a widow, four sons, and four Daughters. Mr Whytehead's fifth son was killed in the late South African war.
