Il a visité les États-Unis, où il a vécu parmi les peuples autochtones, l'Amérique centrale et du Sud, l'Afrique du Nord, l'Extrême-Orient et l'Océanie. En 1865, il a rejoint le Curaçao, un navire de guerre alors déployé pour protéger les intérêts britanniques dans le Pacifique, y compris les îles Salomon , où Brenchley a constitué une collection de plus de 1 000 artefacts. Il a ensuite publié un compte-rendu du voyage : Sa collection fut divisée entre le Maidstone Museum et le British Museum. Le Curacoa a navigué de Sydney sous le commandement de Sir William Wiseman « dans le but d'afficher le drapeau britannique dans les différents archipels du Pacifique occidental » (préface) ; le navire a fait escale à l'île Lord Howe, à l'île Norfolk, à l'île Savage, aux Samoa, aux Tonga, aux Fidji, aux nouvelles Hébrides, à Santa Cruz, aux îles Salomon, en Nouvelle-Calédonie et aux îles Loyauté. Le voyage était le plus important pour les recherches d'histoire naturelle qu'il soutenait. La section sur les oiseaux a été écrite par George Riobert Gray et était limitée aux espèces nouvelles ou rares pour la science ; il est illustré par vingt et une planches, toutes coloriées à la main, d'après Smit. Les autres plaques d'histoire naturelle comprennent des reptiles, des poissons, des coquillages, des insectes et des papillons. The Curacoa sailed from Sydney under the command of Sir William Wiseman "for the purpose of displaying the British flag in the different archipelagos of the Western Pacific" (preface); the ship called at Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Savage Island, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the new Hebrides, Santa Cruz, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and the Loyalty Islands. The voyage was most significant for the natural history researches it supported. The section on birds was written by George Riobert Gray and was limited to species either new or rare to science; it is illustrated by twentyone plates, all hand-coloured, after Smit. The other natural history plates comprise reptiles, fish, shells, insects, and butterflies. P2-5B.

He visited United States, where he lived among indigenous people, Central and South America, North Africa, the Far East and Oceania. In 1865 he joined the Curacoa, a naval vessel then deployed to protect British interests in the Pacific including Solomon Islands, where Brenchley made a collection of more than 1,000 artefacts.

His collection was divided between Maidstone Museum and the British Museum.
