            1. [ii] An account appears in the Historical record of the 46th Regiment (South Devonshire) of Foot.

            2. "On the 31st of October, 1824, a detachment of the regiment, consisting of one captain, four lieutenants, eight serjeants, nine corporals, two drummers, and a hundred and forty-four privates, under the command of Captain Charles Dawe, proceeded from Bellary towards the southern Mahratta country, and was joined on the 10th of November by a second detachment of the 46th from Belgaum, under the command of Captain William Nairn, consisting of one captain, one lieutenant, one ensign, five serjeants and one hundred rank and file. The remainder of the detachment from Belgaum, under the command of Major (Brevet-Lieutenant-Colonel) Thomas Willshire, joined the above, on the 2nd of December, before the Fort of Kittoor, which place was in a state of insurrection. The fort being reduced, the detachment from Belgaum returned to that station on the 15th of December, leaving the detachment under Captain Dawe before Kittoor". Compiled by RICHARD CANNON, Esq., and available online at ebooksread.com and Google Books.

         2. [iii] There were two persons by the name R. Broadfoot with the 46th. reg - Richard and Sgt. Robert who was a member of the 10th. company division.

         3. [iv] The Peninsular War[3] was a military conflict between France and the allied powers of Spain,[4] the United Kingdom, and Portugal for control of the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars.

            1. One hundred pounds sterling - equivalent of five and a half years pay for a private soldier

         4. Another person of the name Thomas Marlow(e) was born about 1791 in the Parish of Thornton, the Town of Thirsk, County York the son of John Marlow and Elizabeth. He was 5' 6^3/4" tall, brown hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion and by trade or occupation was a weaver. He joined the Royal Scots, 1st Regiment of Foot in January 1809 serving with 2^nd Battalion at rank Corporal for 2 years in India until 10^th September 1813. The Royal Scots was the oldest infantry regiment in the British Army and the 2^nd Battalion moved to India about 1806 and remained until 1826. Thomas left the Regiment on 20^th May 1816 and we have no account for the following year. On 31^st July 1817, aged 26 years he joined the British army again and was assigned to the 33rd (or First Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment and remained at the rank of private, serving another campaign in India (31^st January 1822 - 20^th May 1827). It is probable his experience as a weaver served him well with the regiment.

            1. -If this Thoms Marlow was in fact The second husband of Anne Carver Brodfoot, he may have been associated with the orderly duties, where Ann was probably also employed. Thomas was discharged in June 1827, for the medical reasons of general debility after repeated attacks of fever and being worn out. Thomas was then aged 36 years although, records on "India Deaths and Burials, 1719-1948," suggest Thomas Marlow died aged 31(?)) after only four years of marriage and he was buried on 21 Oct 1829 at Secunderabad, Madras, India and was never in Australia. Records on Family Search sites indicate Ann bore three children, only two of whom survived:

         5. Ann Appleby married William Paris (1810-1840) and Ann Carver's brother and sister bore witness in Richmond, so the two names are considered to be one person - Ann Carver.
            

• • • 2. 6. That means about 14 children were born to Ann Carver.

         7. Mary Marlow b 1826 on arrival in Australia was 12-14 years age and possibly working or married which may explain her not being recorded as part of Ann's family with William Paris. The name Fairy Appleby may be actually Mary which could have been the name used on the families return journey from the East Indies or UK (Appleby or Applebe(e) or Appelbe). I found no evidence to link Faith Appleby to George Appleby and one George Appleby was a soldier who died in Tasmania.

         8. In considering the authenticity of records referenced on "FindMyPast", Mary Appleby b 1840 would be fourteen years younger than Mary Marlow b 1826.

         9. Madras Presidency - The East India Company established Presidencies across India. After Independence Madras Presidency became Madras State and in 1971 became known as Tamil Nadu State.

         10. A person of the name Annie Mary married a George Thomas Appelbe (1830-1896) at Bandon, Cork and their children were Dr. Edward Alexander Appelbe (1853-1911), Sarah (1854), Anna (1856-1895), George Thomas (1857-1859), Isabella Mary (1859-1883). There is no further mention of William Broadfoot, Annie Mary Appelbe or Mary Ann Marlow, however it is possible these children were raised by others.

         11. An account of the outlaws gangs of Howe and Whitehead in Van Diemens Land is recorded in an early publication "Michael Howe, the Last and Worst of the Bushrangers" printed in the year 1818, by Mr. Bent. This includes and account of their capture in 1815 by a contingent of the 46th Regiment under Sgt Robert Broadfoot and is available online via Marcus Clarke, historian.

         12. May 1815 - Outlaws "Burn & McGwyre surprised and captured by Sergeant Robert Broadfoot and six privates of the 46th Regiment soldiers near tea Tree Brush, at Kangaroo point [they received the sum of one hundred pounds sterling - the equivalent of five and a half years pay for a private soldier...] and the thanks of Lieutenant-Governor Davy for their conduct on the occasion."

         13. Aboard what ship did Ann Carver and her children return to Australia, and under what name (Broadfoot, Marlow, Appelbe or Appleby[iii]).

         14. Mundia: Children Of Edward and Esther Lang are Esther Anne Lang (1862- ), Henrietta Maria Lang (1866-1941), Sarah Jane Lang (1866-1944), Edward L Lang (1868 - ), Alice Maud Lang (1870- ) and William Paris Lang {1872-1914)..
