An example of footnote referencing¹

Camperdown Cemetery in Newtown, Sydney is considered one of Australia's most historically significant cemeteries². The cemetery contains the remains of many influential people who played an important role in the early history of Sydney and Australia; the land was already associated with famous Australians before it became a cemetery³. A total of 12 acres, 3 roods of land were donated by the estate of Sir Maurice Charles O'Connell, a Lieutenant Governor of New South Wales, on September 23, 1848⁴. The land, a portion of Camperdown Estate, was originally part of the 240-acre land grant of William Bligh, former Governor of the colony of New South Wales⁵. The cemetery served as one of Sydney's principal burial grounds from its opening, in 1849, until 1867⁶.

After the land was bequeathed a trust company was formed: the Sydney Church of England Cemetery Company. Two hundred shares were offered at £10 each and the area was consecrated on January 16, 1849⁷. It is of historical interest that the first interment was that of Sir Maurice Charles O'Connell, the man whose estate donated the land for the cemetery. Sir Maurice O'Connell was buried in the Town Hall Cemetery after his death on May 25, 1848. After the consecration of the cemetery his remains were exhumed and re-interred in the new Camperdown Cemetery⁸.

The footnotes referring to each page would reside at the bottom of that page while endnotes for every reference in the whole piece of writing would reside at the completion point of that text.
