| Notes:
|
His name in the original handwritten ship's passenger list is probably correctly transcribed Purlston or Puelston
However this handwritten list may itself be incorrectly spelt - it is more likely that the SMH report is correct
Not registered NSW
Probably unqualified - his advertisement of 1852 mentions no qualifications |
