- Fred Blann was born 28 February 1914 in Surry Hills, NSW, and died on 9 August 1997. His full name was Frederick Alexander Blann. His wife Thelma Kadwell was the cousin of Kangaroo Harry Kadwell.
- John Coyne Sr was born in Wickham, NSW. His full name was John James Coyne, and he was known as Jack.
- Frank Curran's DOB should be 6 March 1908 in Ballina, NSW, as per his birth record. Other records say the 7th or the 8th. The birth details on the site are for an unrelated person of the same name, and I suspect has come from Wikipedia.
- Arthur Dean was born 30 September 1912 in Redfern, NSW, and died on 11 June 1998. His full name was Arthur Frederick Dean.
- Harry Eyers' DOB should be 16 August 1908 (instead of the 13th).

- Eddie Hinson was born in Redfern, NSW.

- Bernie Martin was born 4 October 1909 in Wellington, New Zealand, and died on 13 April 1991. His full name was John Bernard Martin Jnr. I think the incorrect birthdate on the site might have come from Wikipedia.
- George Shankland was born in Paddington, NSW. His death date should be 12 July 1988 (no idea where the other date came from). His full name was George Wallace Shankland, and he was the brother of Bill Shankland.
- Jimmy Stiff was born 7 June 1911 in Waterloo, NSW, and died on 21 December 1937. His full name was James Claude Stiff.
- Jim Tait was born in 1904 in Redfern, NSW, and died on 24 April 1972. His full name was Victor James Tait.
- Harry Thompson's full name was not Harold but rather Harry Gladstone Thompson. He was born in Moama, NSW.
- Alby Thorne should be Alby Thorn (although Thorne is a common spelling variation). He was born 10 April 1915 in Botany, near Mascot, NSW, and died on 12 October 1994. His full name was Albert George Bosley Thorn.
- Michael Williams was born 12 February 1910 in Port Macquarie, NSW, and died on 4 October 1984. His full name was Michael Albert Williams Jnr.
- Percy Williams was actually born 10 March 1910 in Sydney, NSW. The details currently on the site are for an unrelated Percy E(rnest) Williams. SSR Almanac lists 10 March 1910 as Percy's DOB.
