Notes:

Searching in New Zealand (NZ) records for Henry Joseph "Joey" GRIMALDI reveals that there is no doubt about the fact that he did in fact go there. Set out below are four references:

1. He married Elizabeth WOOD in NZ in 1842 (Registration Number 1942/99). This fact creates another puzzle as his Certificate of Freedom issued in Newcastle NSW is dated 4 Apr 1843. Perhaps he was aware that the Certificate of Freedom was about to be issued and he moved to NZ in advance of the issue of that certificate.

2. Henry Joseph GRIMALDI appears in a list of persons qualified to serve as jurors for the district of Port Nicholson for 1850. Address: Lambton Quay, Occupation: Horse Breaker. (Does not appear in the same list for 1856.)

3. GRIMALDI, J. Wairarapa An Historical Excursion, A.G. Bagnall, 1976. Hedley's Books Ltd. for the Masterton Trust Lands Board.

4. Mr. & Mrs. GRIMALDI listed as performers at "A Mr. Sutherland Night" for Tuesday evening 12/10/1847 at the Britannia Saloon. List entitled Some of the Pioneers who came to Wellington and the Hutt Valley.

Land Selection
Appears to have leased or owned Allotment 4A of 24 acres, No section number, Parish of Bulban, County Grant. The lease or ownership was transferred to Garrett O'BRIAN [sic] (Abt.1823-1899) his son-in-law on 9 Apr 1853. This land is situated at Little River VIC.

His grave at Warracknabeal Cemetery is unfortunately unmarked.

John HERD was elected to the South Barwon Municipal Council in July 1861 and was immediately elected as Chairman of the Council on 9 Jul 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 10 Jul 1861, p5)

John HERD was selected as one of three nominees from the Borough of South Barwon as trustees of Queens Park in Geelong on 15 Feb 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 15 Feb 1861, p5)

For some reason the death notice placed in the 'Horsham Times' of 15 Feb 1884 gives his age as being 95 years which is too generous by 10 years.
