    Notes 
    • It seems that William and Elizabeth had another son, Thomas, born around 1861 but no record for him despite being mentioned in Henry Aldridge's memoirs. He obviously was born when they lived in Drayton, Toowoomba. After William died in Australia, Elizabeth married a John Hall with whom she had at least two children: Elizabeth (1865/C001745 Hall Elizabeth daughter of John and Elizabeth Lovett) and William Joseph (1873/C000807 Hall William Joseph son of John Hall and Elizabeth Lovel)
