I wanted to add Josephine Bussell Prinsep onto the Bussell family page but before I did, I wanted to run it by an expert where she fits into the family. This source at the Dictionary of Australian Artists online describes her as the "youngest daughter of Frances Louisa Bussell," but the same source seems to indicate that there was a mother and daughter by that name. [1] In any case, Josephine Bussell was married to a member of the Prinsep family, Henry Charles Prinsep, of an Anglo-Indian family prominent in India as well as in England. Prinsep later moved to Australia, and died at Bussellton. Another source, at the J.S. Battye Library of West Australia History Private Archives, indicates that Josphine Bussell was "the daughter of Charlotte Bussell," and four letters between those two individuals are included in the archives.[2] In any case, the Prinsep information should be worked in here somewhere, but I wanted to make sure that an expert here made sure it went into the right spot.

In the paragraph describing events in October 1839, it introduces a person called Henry Camfield. It then starts talking about a "Camden", who sounds like the same person from the context. Presumably one of these names is wrong. The reference is to a physical book though, so I have no way of determining which is correct though. James (talk) 02:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Camfield was in the Vasse in 1839, perhaps in search of a wife (it is hinted), but did not marry until much later."THE CAMFIELD LETTERS". The West Australian. Vol. 52, no. 15, 734. Western Australia. 28 November 1936. p. 6. Retrieved 25 January 2024 – via National Library of Australia. No mention here of an Aboriginal body. Can find no mention of a Camden in the area in 1839, which proves nothing of course but my money in on Camden being a typo for Camfield (who, by the way, looks like the subject of an interesting article. His wife Anne Camfield was an important photographer). Doug butler (talk) 07:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
