    Notes: Note Dr. Gill's advertisement of 21 February 1839, referring to an earlier one placed by the owner of lodgings in Sydney (see references)
  • The shipping record reveals a Dr. Gill on "Emerald Isle" as far as Hobart (although the ship continued to Sydney), and a Mr. John Gill on "Wilmot" from Hobart to Sydney. "Emerald Isle" arrived at Hobart the day after "Wilmot" left there for Sydney
  • How John Gill arrived in Hobart is not known (he did not arrive at Hobart on "Wilmot" according to the shipping records in the newspapers)
  • His name last appears in the printed NSW medical register iin 1858. He was presumably the John Maunder Gill, surgeon, who died at Moonbi near Tamworth in 1858?
  • He is not to be confused with John Gill (1823-1899, pastoralist and MP, and a later owner of Moonbi station
