Notes - Note that Calbourne is about 2 miles from Shalfleet and more importantly is even further from the coast, and for instance Yarmouth. However father Peter is described as a "boatman"
Maybe married Annie and had a son Clive - family recollections but very vague, and probably more likely refers to Edward JUNIPER (b1860)
He was indentured into the Merchant Navy on 21 Aug 1837, aged 16, for 4 years
Was master of merchant ship "Anne" at the time of his death, based on the burial register. The Sussex Advertiser of 17 Dec 1844 says this:-
"on the 2nd ult [ie Nov], at Smyrna, Captain Edward Wolliner [sic] Juniper, of the brig Saunders, unfortunately drowned by the upsetting of a boat, second son of Mr P Juniper of Shoreham, Sussex, and nephew of Mr Juniper of Mundesley in Norfolk"
