BEECROFT was an iron sailing vessel built at Sunderland by T.R.Oswald in 1875. 1596 registered tonnage, 251.3' x in length, 38.8' beam and 23.6' in depth. In the 1907/08 Lloyds Register she was owned by Fili. Repetto fu G.B. and registered at Genoa, Italy.
Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London/COSSENTINE, Richard Henry b. Cornwall 1841 C27648 Liverpool 1867 vol.3 1867-1873; vol.17 1874-1878
Maria & Mary Louisa should be recorded in the 1871 census somewhere but I couldn't find them. Henry was most likely at sea & Harry was recorded with his Grandmother, Mary Jones. Maria & the children are recorded at 60 Upper Pitt St., Liverpool (1881). The family are recorded at 36 Oral Road (?), Bootle, Lancashire (1891). Also present was Maria's sister Bella Jones, 45, Liverpool. Looks like Bella was some kind of Preacher... ? SEE the census here.
After much research I've finally located the family in the 1871 census & surprisingly they're living in Scotland. 85 Dundas St - Kingston, Glasgow Govan, Lanarkshire to be exact. Richard is described as a 'Master Mariner' & dau., Mary Louisa is also present.
The picture is with great thanks to Stuart Cossentine
