Stemmata Robertson et Durdin

I am interested in verifying the Manning genealogy given in the following source, particularly the branch headed by "Robert Manning of Ipswich":

Robertson, Herbert, 1893. "Stemmata Robertson et Durdin", Part II, Table 9, Part A, available online: https://archive.org/details/stemmatarobertso00robe

So far I've found that the information is roughly correct although there are several inaccuracies in this particular branch (not the author's direct line). The source of inaccuracies is also of interest to me e.g. in one case the wrong wife was listed, but she was actually the wife of the man's brother - i.e. the source of the information is probably family rumour and memories, which even when incorrect can be helpful in suggesting research paths.

Toohey family in early Durban

I'm also interested in any Tooheys in Durban/D'Urban or Tugela, Natal, from settler days to around 1865, in particular information on Daniel Charles (D.C.) Toohey who was an early trader and explorer who arrived in 1835.
