Edward Underwood attended Captain Beveridge's Naval and Mercantile Academy in Sydney in the 1820s.
He was the commander of the Blue Jacket, which was owned by his father-in-law James John Frost. In 1855 the ship, under the command of Underwood, had brought migrants to Australia.
He and his wife had four children – all born and brought up in England: Sydney Edward (1846-1925), Clara Elizabeth (1848- ), Powell Cecil (1849- ) and Angelina Fenn (1851-1891).
