Death registered as John Glasfurd Corbett 1889/5652 Corbett John Glasfurd 59Y
Also John Glasfurd Corbett here: https://collection.pukeariki.com/persons/10430/john-glasfurd-corbett but this is apparently a mistake: "John Glasford Corbett (Glasfurd is a mistake), having named for Glasford (Glassford), near Glasgow, Scotland. Recorded as a Captain with the Taranaki Military Settlers, date 03 Sep 1863 (assume this was the date he joined, or was appointed Captain). He is also referenced in correspondence (1865-1866) from Lieutenant-Colonel M. Lepper, Commanding Taranaki Military Settlers." Wainuiomartian (talk)
