  2. The date 1882 and place Ayr came from a Palm Island reference. I suspect it was an estimate by some official.

  7. Harry Eppy was described as a Kanaka from Eppy Island.
    Annie was described as a Half-caste Kanaka.

    Epi Island is an island in Shefa Province, Vanuatu, at the north end of the Shepherd Islands. I assume this is the Eppy Island mentioned above).
