Notes:
|
He was an accomplished artist. His sketchbook from the "John Calvin" is held at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
He was on the immigrant ship "Juliana", wrecked at the Cape in December 1838 without loss of life, and proceeded to Sydney on "Mary Hay" (Monitor)
He was on the prison ship "Waterloo", wrecked at the Cape in August 1842 and he was saved by a prisoner whose irons he had ordered to be removed (Australian)
He cannot have been born on 1802 if LSA 1820 MRCS 1822 as the minimum age for both qualifications was 21. Therefore he was born 1799 or earlier |
