  • Notes 
    • John Gilbert married Hannah Hilder in 1827, two years after the birth of of her son John HIlder. Many researchers have made the assumption that John G is the father of John H. However, throughout his life John HIlder retained the name of Hilder and no trace of any office record of a father/son relationship has ever been found.

      John and Hannah are also recorded by many researchers as having children in Hampshire after they were married. As these birth continue for at least 10 years after John, Hannah and John arrived in NSW in 1841, this is patently incorrect.
