Pockley, Robert Francis (?–1892)
Regret in the city was expressed at the announcement of the sudden demise of Captain R F. [Robert Francis] Pockley. Captain Pockley for more than half a century has been identified with the shipping history of Australia. An old Australian geography (1846) was shown in the Merchants' Exchange, in which his opinion is quoted as to the respective merits of Boydtown and the opposite side of Twofold Bay for the site of the harbour proper. In the very early days as a boy he sailed in these seas with his father, who commanded a whaling vessel, and having qualified himself for the position of shipmaster, he came out to Sydney finally in 1841 to settle here. Captain Pockley hold the position of superintendent of pilots and lights for the colony at the time of the Donaldson Ministry, and at the date of the wreck of the Dunbar he was harbourmaster here, and went down to the scene of that memorable disaster in a whaleboat the night it occurred. In 1854 Captain Pockley married the youngest daughter of the late Major Antill, who came out to the colony with Governor Macquarie, to whom he was ADC. Dr Pockley, of St Leonard's, is a son, and one of 12 of a family, who, with the widow, are called upon to mourn their loss. Captain Pockley was Lloyd's surveyor and representative in New South Wales up to the time of his death, and held that position for 20 years.

LATE MR. T. F. G. POCKLEY.

The funeral took place at Gore Hill Ceme- tery on Saturday afternoon of Mr Thomas Ford Graham Pockley, who for over 60 years was an officer of the Commercial Bank, being for a great many years manager at Singleton and previously at Goulburn, Murrurundi, and Casino. His first appointment was at Forbes at the time of the gold rush, and later he opened branches at Gympie and Guyndah. He was unmarried, and since his retirement from the bank about 10 years ago had resided at the Union Club, where he died. He came to the colony as a young man about 60 years ago, being a younger brother of Captain Pockley, who was for many years Lloyd's surveyor in Sydney. His father, Captain Robert Pockley, commodore of Green's fleet, had many exciting experiences early last century In the wars with France; he was a prisoner In France for some years, and once visited Australia on a whaling expedition, making the acquaintance of Mr. Ben Boyd.
Mr. Thomas Pockley was the last surviving member of his generation of the family, and his nephews are Dr. F. Antill Pockley, Dr. Eric Pockley, Mr. H. R. Pockley (of Roma down Station, Queensland), and Mr. Harold Pockley, of Brisbane. Miss Pockley, Mrs. Reeve (wlfe of the Rev. F.
