Research Notes

• This person is in conflict with the Margaret Murphy mentioned in https://australianroyalty.net.au/tree/purnellmccord.ged/individual/I30644/Margaret-Murphy or https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/992H-XXR and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Murphy-22495 who was born Wilks.

• The family notes of John and Mary Booth present a different version of relationships. Neither version can be accepted without reasonable doubt based on current records.

• Susannah Weatherall had an aunt Mrs. Woodward who lived on the shores of Brisbane Water.

• Henry Stedman appears to be a link between the two women from maybe different families, his first wife Catherine. and second wife Margaret.
