The general consenses was that according to his prison records Gardiner was stated as having been born and raised at Boro, near Goulburn.

The view that his father arrived first and cohabitated with a half cast aboriginal woman at Boro is truly fancifull. Evidence shows that the Christie 's traveled to Melbourne and that Charles operted a sly-grog shop in Melbourne, in 1836-38 and was in his own word fined £80+ for his infraction. Shortly after Charles took a position as overseer to a former passenger friend from the 'James ' Henry Munro who was in command of a vast sheep and cattle run at Campaspe near Mount Alexander, Victoria, this is also fact. There are a number of letters published in the newspapers of Charles defending Munro against marurding aboriginals who were constantly stealing sheep and in one instance Munro was seriously speared and survived. The life of Gardiner 's father is shown that he was a diligent supervisor and well educated as was his children including Francis. However, there has also been a thought that the father died sometime in 1864 near Goulburn, but this is also refuted by a report that Charles ' widow Jane married Henry Munro in February 1841, which demonstrates that Charles, by means unknown at present, passed away in late 1840. The record of his death is missing, but as in 1840, Victoria was still under the administration of NSW therefore, the document maybe lost

If I was defending my client against a robbery conviction and the main evidence was the clerk’s eyewitness testimony, I would tell the jury that it is not a completely valid testimony. Being robbed, the clerk was in a state of panic and distress, which could cause him or her to not clearly see who is robbing them. And without camera evidence it is almost impossible to validate if what he/she is true. Eyewitness testimonies shouldn’t be taken as main evidence because who is to say that the testimony is 100% true? The human mind is good at blaming others for mistakes that they want answers to.
