One for the new year, what connection did Thomas Nettleship Staley the Bishop of Honolulu have with Sheffield?

This is a bit of a wet question isn't it? lol

Taken from the claim site for the Sheffield Flood: Claim 201

The Claimant is the Owner of a number of Cottages situate at Bundekin Road, Pye Bank. They were flooded nearly to the ceiling of the Chambers. The Windows, doors, fillings & Slates of Roof were injured by the Tenants trying to escape. The Tenants were washed destitute - 6 Cottages are still uninhabited.

In total he received, £52 6s 6d.

As bayleaf remarked indeed a wet question ;-)

Spot on Dobberd and Bayleaf, Now does any one know if the Bishop of Honalulu was previously a resident of Sheffield, or was he placing a claim for someone else who had perished in the flood? Was he really the Bishop of Honalulu or is the name just a nickname similar to the Duke of Darnall?

He was indeed born in Sheffield Jan 17th 1823 according to the "Staley's Galore" site

as was his wife who was born in attercliffe nee Catherine Workman Shirley?

In 1862 ish he was appointed the first Anglican Bishop of Hawaii and served for five years before returning to England
