Notes

1    Information found by Bob Swindle in the records of the Port Arthur convict site.

2    Numerous sources e.g. http://www.rootsweb.com/~austas/Mangles2.htm

3    A Frederick August Swindell was baptised on the 27th of August 1820 at St Sepulchre, London. However too much weight should not be placed on the coincidence of Christian names since Frederick Augustus was the second son of George III (1763 - 1827) and Duke of York ("The Grand Old Duke of York").
