Details: Captain Biddulphs Career - Edward Biddulph, son of Simon Biddulph of Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire, entered the British Navy as a first class volunteer in September 1803. He served on board the Indefatigable, Captain Graham Moore, commander, and took part as midshipman in the capture on 5th October 1804 of three Spanish frigates, laden with treasure. He was removed to the Fenhound in 1807 and was next appointed masters mate of the Ville de Paris, bearing the flags of Lords Gardener and Gambier. He was present, in the Caradonia, at the destruction of the French squadron in the Basque Roads in April 1809, for which he obtained a medal. Following on this action came the expedition to the Scheldt, and Mr. Biddulph who had been transferred to the Sceptre, 74 guns, served on shore with a party of seamen at the investment of Flushing. He obtained his Commission on 5th October 1809 and was appointed to the Onyx on 2nd January 1810. In that vessel, and also in the gunboat service, he took part in the defence of Cadiz. He also destroyed on the beach of Cirar, with the boats of the Onyx and Desperate, a brig of the enemy which was protected at the time by a masked battery and some infantry. For this service he received another medal. In 1813 he was appointed to the Hebrus stationed on the coast of North America; and on the 22nd July following to the Florida (Captain Mitchell) which was cruising on the South American and West Indian stations. Returning home from this service he was appointed in May 1819 to the Menai (Captain Fairfax Moresby) and in this vessel he remained until he was placed out of commission in September 1823. During the four years and four months that he was on the Menai he visited St. Helena; assisted in 1820 in landing a company of emigrants at Algoa Bay and was actively engaged in suppressing the slave trade on the eastern coast of Africa. He then retired on half pay. In 1831 Lieutenant Biddulph brought out the first oversea steamer that arrived in Australian waters, the Sophia Jane, he being part owner with other members of his family, of the vessel. No passengers were brought in her. The Sophia Jane created quite a stir when she arrived in Sydney. She was sold there and was afterwards engaged in the passenger service between Newcastle and Sydney for many years. Captain Biddulph obtained a grant of land at Elmhurst, near Maitland and he lived there for some years. Afterwards he settled at Newcastle. He was called out again for the Crimean War, and was appointed a retired commander but he was too ill to take service and he died in 1851 at the age of 61 years.
