Notes

1    Middle name 'Manico' stated in Leonard Gull's record in Commonwealth War Graves Commission

2    Presumed born c1860 and married c1882.

3    No results found in 1901 census for a Clara Gull of the right age. See note 5.

4    No marriage found for Clara Richards to a Gull in 1875 - 1883 in FreeBMD - found in overseas marriages.

5    "Clara went to Brazil when she married and died there. She had three children, two boys and a girl, who lived us for some years after she died." (Cissie Rattray (née Mähler), Clara's niece, to her grand-daughter Daphne in 1951). Since Clara sailed out to Brazil in 1893 but Cissie married and emigrated to Rhodesia in 1901, this places Clara's death around 1893-1898. However the three children returned to England in 1892 and this may have been the source of Cissie's memories.
