LIST 14 - DEUXIEME DIZAINE - BIRTHS FROM MUSTERS

 
 
In the course of analysing the various early colonial musters and the 1828 
Census, (which are to be found later in this work) numerous entries were 
found which could not be positively connected with any particular set 
of parents. Entries for 283 such names (156 males & 127 females) are 
listed here alphabetically in surname order along with the muster or census 
from which they are derived and their year of birth.
 
These Births from Musters account for 9% of the "Deuxieme Dizaine". Males 
were 56% and females 44%.

 Percentages 55.8% 44.2% 
 
A year of birth is unknown for 68 of the entries as unfortunately apart from 
the 1828 Census and 1822 Muster, most of the musters do not so much as give 
the age of the person, resulting in no way of estimating the year of birth. 
 
William Brazil was recorded in both the 1814 Muster and 1828 Census, William 
Evans was recorded in both the 1814 and 1822 Musters. Seventeen others were 
recorded in both the 1822 Muster and the 1828 Census.
 
There are two possible childhood arrivals on the list; William Anderson per 
'Speke' 1808 (but this maybe a duplicate of William Alderson), James Grimes 
per 'Indian' 1810.
 
Thomas Yacklan may in fact be Thomas Jacklin.
 
Daniel Broadarrow is recorded as adopted by William Davis.
 
Several of the entries were married and these details can be found in List 
16 dealing with Marriages.

It may well be that some of these names are variations of existing "Deuxieme 
Dizaine" members. Otherwise these entries are obviously ripe for further 
investigation and more family groupings may well come to light as a result. 
 
Entries on this list have the reference identifier "M-C" on List 1.
