Alford's Point, a suburb of Sydney, named after John Alford, who was transported to NSW in 1799 on the 'Royal Admiral'. John Alford, who had helped to survey the area south of Liverpool, was given several land allocations, including 100 acres on the Georges River where Alford's Point now stands. John Alford came from Willingdon, Sussex in southern England. He changed his name from Elford to Alford after arriving in NSW (information supplied by Vicki Matthews and Leone Peguero, descendants of John Alford).
