I can't find a Stavert in the 90th medal rolls.
However there is a Lance Sergeant 1597 W Stewart 1877-78-79 clasp which is possibly a typo with Stavert and Stewart looking similar.
However as a fly in the ointment there is a Sergeant 1678 W Simmon 1877-78-79 clasp with a question mark after the surname in my lists.
However my money is on this being 1597
