Adolphus Albert Le Sueur, often known as Albert Le Sueur, was an astronomer known for his early involvement with the Great Melbourne Telescope and his preliminary use of astronomical spectroscopy. This information seems to be at odds with official records Adolphus Albert Le Sueur was born and died on this dates but for him to Matriculated in 1859 means he would have been 10 years old which seems debatable. Also official documents of Adolphus' show his parents were Phillipe Le Sueur and Rachel Bazin .Therefore additional research needs to be done to confirm the link between Adolphus and Albert - it seems they are separate people.
