•The information in this brief document was mostly drawn from a variety of papers, cuttings, copies of birth and death certificates and notes kept by Howard Clifford Maple and Raymond Kingsley Maple.  Some of these documents are clearly the work of other family researchers.  Regrettably the titles of some books have not been added to certain photocopied pages making due attribution difficult. Some oral history material has been incorporated.
•
•Fundamental information of value can be drawn from  Roy Williams’ excellent book, To Find the Way – History of the Western Fleurieu Peninsula published by the Yankalilla and District Historical Society Inc. Other useful information can be obtained from Early Settlers in the Yankalilla District, again compiled by Roy Williams.  Joy L. Nunn’s Schools of the Western Fleurieu Peninsula 125 years 1856-1981 published by the Yankalilla Area School Council Inc., contains helpful material.

•I also acknowledge the work of other family historians and archivists. In particular Lila Bowyer (nee Maple), Lionel and Bev Bowyer, Nancye Kopunic (nee Maple), Robert Lakin, Clifford Malpas, Bruce Maple, Walter Blundell Maple, Jim and Pamela Maple-Brown, Michael Parkinson, Monty Smith and Beda Wagener contributed invaluable detail and records on branches of the family.

•Brian Dove also provided enormous help in tracing the UK origins of the Maple family as well as information from his extensive database of births, deaths and marriages.   For information on the Maple and related families in the UK, see Brian Dove’s website
