Sir William Augustus Congreve, 3rd baronet
The following is extracted from the 'Birmingham Daily Post' of 3 March 1882:-
'We are living amid all the weird mysteries of the medieval times. We have had the mysterious disappearance of Lord Aberdeen [qv] and the disappearance and reappearance of Sir Roger Tichborne; and now another lost baronet is likely to give the courts of law the same trouble as they have had upon former occasions. An advertisement which appears in the columns of The Times [on 22 February 1882] peremptorily demands information concerning Sir William Augustus Congreve. The story of this lost baronet is quite as interesting as that of any "foundling of the forest" over whose adventures we were wont to shed tears when related by Rosa Matilda [pen-name of Charlotte Dacre (1782-1841), an English author of Gothic novels]. His grandfather, Sir William Congreve, was the inventor of the Congreve rocket. The father of the lost baronet, for whom search is now being made, died in 1828. The heir succeeded to the title at two years of age. When the young man had attained his majority he bade his family farewell and started on his own independent venture for Australia. It appears that he must have gone at once into the Bush, as nothing was heard of him till the year 1860, when he suddenly appeared at Sydney , and announced his intention of going to the Fiji Islands. The strangest part of the story is in the sequel, which tells us that the younger brother, who would be heir to the baronetcy, has also disappeared, and every effort made to discover his whereabouts has proved unavailing. The advertisement, which urges in the strongest terms a communication of some kind from the missing parties, entreats of anyone who may have any information to give concerning them to do so at once. As neither of the individuals were known to have been married, the baronetcy will lapse should no news of them be obtained.'

In the Probate and Divorce Division London, lately, before the Right Hon. the President, the case of re Congreve was heard. This was a motion for an order of presumption of death of the late Sir William Augustus Congreve, and of his brother Mr William Frederick Congreve. Mr Bayford, in making the application, said that both of the brothers had disappeared. The younger brother, William Frederick was formerly in the navy, but left it in 1851. He travelled in Africa and the West Indies, and corresponded with his relations. In April, 1860, he wrote a letter saying that he was going to Halifax, New Brunswick, and that was the last which was heard of him.-His lordship said that a peculiarity in the case was that the two brothers had disappeared in different parts of the world.-Mr Bayford said that there was a further peculiarity in the case, viz., that both of the brothers appeared to have passed by the feigned name of "William Cooke." Both of them were entitled to property under their uncle's will. The usual advertisements appeared in the newspapers in regard to the younger brother. In respect to the elder brother Sir William Augustus Congreve, the matter was more complicated. He left England in 1847 for New Zealand, where he occupied in agriculture. He from time to time corresponded, the last letter being received in 1860, From one of the affidatives he was stated to have also passed as "William Cook."-His lordship, after looking at the affidavits, said that death might reasonably be persumed of the younger brother, but the matter must stand over in respect to Sir Wm. Augustus Congreve.----------------------------------------------------------
Information from Bruce Sainsbury, 2009:Sir William served with the 46th foot Regiment in the Crimea where he saw active service as a Brevet Captain. He came to Sydney in 1864 to take up an appointment under Sir George Gray and on arrival in Australia he, for private reasons, never took the title he had succeeded to in 1828, but assumed the family patronymic of Capt.William Edward Brougham Gurnett, We do not know the reason for this. He was twice married, his first wife being Lady Ann or Annie Beresford (a cousin of Lord Charles Beresford), who died in 1870 & had born him a daughter, believed to have been christened Annie Congreve. His second wife, Lucy Ann Upton, whom he married in Sydney c1880, gave birth to four sons. He is buried in Waverley cemetery (NSW.Aust) under his titled name with his second wife Lucy Anne & infant son George. During his life in Sydney he lived at "Frankville",76 Botany Street, Surry Hills where he passed away on 9/12/1887. Surry Hills is an inner-suburb of Sydney.
