    Notes 
    • Floyd's name sometimes appears as Ffloyd, probably because in early documents, capital F was written as a double ff. For more on this see https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/palaeography/doc2/intro.htm
      While I have used the spelling "Floyd", it's interesting to note that a memorial window in Sale, Victoria church is inscribed 'in pious memory of Ffloyd Minter Peck'.

      "The following is extracted from "Monumental Memories - Sale Cemetery"
      Dr. Floyd Minter Peck (c1818-1861) was the son of a doctor from Newmarket,
      England. He came to Australia with his brother in law Dr. Hedley, Dr. Reeve
      of Snakes Ridge and his brother James Peck. Dr. Peck married Anna Maria
      Robertson (1823-1859) who died in Sale soon after her arrival there,
      following the birth of her sixth child. Dr. Peck then married Menie
      Campbell (1820-1884), a sister in law of Robert Thomson. However shortly
      after their wedding Dr. Peck contacted an infection while performing an
      autopsy, and died five days later. Dr. Hedley took over his practice after
      his sudden death. James Peck (c. 1833-1884) was the younger brother of Dr.
      Floyd Minter Peck, and lived at "Bowerette" near "Grasdale". He married Ada
      Minter (C.1846-1918), the daughter of a doctor from Mount Moriac, and
      became a successful stock agent. Near these two family plots are family
      plots for the Smith and Minters, who are related. All plots have similar
      fences, with gateways."
      "Butlers Woods Point and Gippsland Directory of 1866" has the following.
      SALE, Raymond Street, Dr. Hedleys Consulting Rooms."
