Dind's Point

It appears that this locality was previously known as Dind's Point. See for example Bell's Life in Sydney 28 May 1853. William Dind was a theatrical and sporting promoter whose residence was in Alfred Street South, on the corner of the present Fitzroy Street. Dind Street is a little further south of this intersection. See Dind's obit. in Town and Country Journal 2 February 1895 Bluedawe 22:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Milsons Point, New South Wales

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Milsons Point, New South Wales's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "1840s map":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:48, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
