Fake entry?[edit]

I can find no reference to this information anywhere on the internet except on Wikipedia, and on other sites which appear to have derived their information from Wikipedia. There is an island at this location, but its name is Obeani. I would like to see some references to confirm this obviously colonial-type name as ever being a recognized name. I am sure it is not the recognized name today. Ptilinopus (talk) 08:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Googling Cyprian Bridge (1807-1885) gives quite a number of sources that may produce some supporting evidence for the statement about this person made in the article. Even a cursory glance at these suggests that a person of this name did serve in the British armed forces used in this part of the world e.g. in the Flagstaff War.
