Notes:

Mystery surrounds the movement of William HERD from Sydney to Melbourne after his initial arrival in Sydney. Recent information which is unconfirmed, is that he stayed on in Sydney with some of his PARK relatives, while the rest of the family journeyed on to Melbourne. One thing is certain and that is that his name does not appear on the passenger list of the "Hope", the interstate vessel on which the remainder of the family travelled to Melbourne.

Will:
Interesting to note that William HERD referred to his wife as Margaret Caldwell HERD on two occasions when her real name was Margaret Calder HERD.

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.
