Research Notes

The born in colony sticker is used on basis that he was born after 1 Jul 1851 when the Port Phillip District became a separate colony.

There is different sourcing for his mother's maiden name in the Queensland Register.

The register transcription of Alfred's mother's surname name should perhaps read Lassetter which is his maternal grand mother's second marriage. Georgina's last name at birth was Ford from her mother's first marriage.
