Islanders’ West Country burr speaks volumes about Victorian adventurer

PALMERSTON ISLAND A historian is tracing the origins of the West Country burr spoken by the inhabitants of a tiny South Pacific island. John Roberts is engrossed by the legacy of William Masters, a Gloucestershire man who arrived on Palmerston Island, one of the Cook Islands, in 1863 with three of his four Polynesian wives. Marsters had 17 children whose descendants still inhabit the island. There is even some dispute about his name, with some believing that it is a corruption of “Masters” said with a thick Gloucestershire accent.

Having set off to make his fortune in the Californian goldrush, Marsters found work on whaling ships. According to one account, he arrived on Palmerston to grow coconuts and sell their kernels to Europe. In another he had been been found destitute on one of the Cook Islands. In 1891 Britain formally granted Marsters sole lease of Palmerston. The house he built of driftwood from shipwrecks still stands.

More than 1,000 people in New Zealand and the South Pacific claim direct descent from him. Mr Roberts, of Cheshire, has been in touch with his relatives around the world, but none from England. Mr Roberts is also hoping to find out more about the early days of the Palmerston community. Just over 60 of Marsters’ descendants remain on Palmerston.

Inbred and living in another age. You can see that the Islanders have more than their accent in common with the West Country
