Other Brother? edit
In the article it first states that the murders were committed by the two Governor brothers, then later that they were committed by Jimmy Governor and a friend Jacky Underwood? Were they brothers? If so, why is he a "Governor brother" if he has a different surname? 216.36.132.66 (talk) 20:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
John Mawbey edit
Does anyone know why John Mawbey wasn't murdered, since that seems to be the person who Jimmy Governor was mad at?Jtyroler (talk) 21:57, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
James Mcdonald edit
There is no evidence that James Tracker McDonald fathered a child before his marriage to Harriet Cooper. This Union produced 13 children. Tanials02 (talk) 00:36, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Cleanup edit
This article is a mess. I have initiated a cleanup, which will take some time, so please be patient. Ikeshut2 (talk) 21:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
I deleted this:
- Tommy Grosvenor/Governor probably headed south to NSW accompanying a drover or bullock team, and likely took the name of the drover in charge as his own 'European' name, as was a common approach among Aboriginals in the mid-1800s.[1]
This amounts to speculation upon speculation, and is extremely tangential to Jimmy Governor's story, so I've taken it out of the article. Ikeshut2 (talk) 06:43, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Burial edit
Among the this article's categories is "Burials at Rookwood Cemetery", and though not mentioned in the article (his wife's is), the adb reference is clear on his unmarked grave in the Anglican section. This strikes me as unusual, as the remains of executed prisoners are usually interred within the prison walls. I find no mention in the newspapers one way or the other.
