Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 1922 of Hannah Friedericke Wegner

Hannah Fredericke Leeding Death 09/09/1922 Father: Wilhelmine Auguste Mother: - Ref: 1922/C/2885

QLD BDM death index row, found by searching the subject's MARRIED surname (Leeding), per this batch's known cache blind-spot for married women's deaths. The 'Father' column reads 'Wilhelmine Auguste' -- an exact match to the given names of the tree's recorded mother, Wilhelmine Auguste Wegner (#32288, d.23 FEB 1918) -- while the 'Mother' column is blank. Read as a column/index artifact (the one parent actually named landed in the 'father' field), not as a father identification -- per this batch's guidance an echoed/misplaced parent name is never transcribed as a parent. Corroborates the existing mother link and supplies the first citation on this daughter's death.

For “Born” 20 JAN 1889 of Timothy John Mangan

Name: Timothy John Mangan | Event: Birth | Date: 20/01/1889 | Reference: 1889/C/1890 | Father: Timothy Mangan | Mother: Mary Ann Carroll

QLD BDM index row for Timothy John Mangan's own birth: names mother Mary Ann CARROLL, not Mary Ann Brennan. Proves he belongs to a different (same-named) Timothy Mangan household, not this family.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 1929 of Patrick Voll

Patrick Voll Death 16/08/1929 Father: - Mother: Virginia Voll ...days Ref: 1929/B/8605

QLD BDM death index row. Father column blank. Mother given as 'Virginia Voll' (tree spells her Virgina Madelane Voll, #32484, b.1905); an age-at-death fragment '...days' is appended after the mother's name in the cached row, consistent with Patrick being recorded as an infant death in 1929. The reference carries a 'B' prefix though this is a death record; quoted exactly as cached. Converts a previously uncited DEAT event into a cited one.

For “Died” 19 JAN 1944 of Richard Thomas Cridland

Death: Richard Thomas Cridland, 19/01/1944, mother Bridget Houligan, father Richard Thomas

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1869/C/2617 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 14 SEP 1869 of John Wood

John Wood | Birth | 14/09/1869 | reference 1869/C/2617 | father James Wood | mother Elizabeth Herton

QLD BDM historical index birth row for #32711 (date matches exactly). Mother's surname is transcribed 'Herton' here; the death registration below (informant 36 years later) gives 'Elizabeth Heaton' — treated as the same woman, spelling/transcription variant.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1905/C/4380 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 3 NOV 1905 of John Wood

John Wood | Death | 03/11/1905 | reference 1905/C/4380 | father James Wood | mother Elizabeth Heaton

QLD BDM death index row; date matches #32711 exactly. Confirms his parents are James Wood & Elizabeth Heaton — NOT Thomas Wood & Elizabeth Hall (#48266's parents, a different John Wood born 1 Sep 1868, distinct registration 1868/C/710). Fills #32711's previously blank parent slots.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1903/C/2810 · Year 1903 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 13 AUG 1903 of Wilhelm Ludke

Wilhelm Ludke, Death, 13/08/1903, father Wilhelm Ludke, mother Fredericke Bernd, 1903/C/2810

Death was recorded as AUG 1909, after the AUG 1903 burial at Nerang. The tree's own burial record already quotes 'Death Date: 13 Aug 1903, Cemetery: Nerang, Section M01'; the QLD index confirms it.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1902/C/3660 · Year 1902 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 20 AUG 1902 of Elizabeth Davies

Elizabeth Walther | Death | 20/08/1902 | David Davies | Rachel - | 1902/C/3660

QLD BDM historical index death row, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Married surname Walther, parents David Davies + Rachel (no maiden surname recorded, matching the tree's existing family #11077) and the exact 20 AUG 1902 date identify her beyond doubt. Retrieved familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au, 18 Sep 2026.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1903/C/3710 · Year 1903 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 21 JUN 1903 of Frederich Wilhelm Heinrich Schroder

Name: Frederick Wilhelm Henrich Schroeder; Event: Death; Date: 22/06/1903; Reference: 1903/C/3710; Father: -; Mother: Mary Christine Schroeder

Tree's death date is 21 Jun 1903; index gives registration date 22/06/1903, one day later - not a contradiction. Mother's name matches the tree's recorded mother exactly; father column blank.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1901/C/3441 · Year 1901 · Type C Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 11 JAN 1901 of Friedrich Heinrich Schulz

Name: Friedrich Heinrich Schulz | Event: Death | Date: 11/01/1901 | Reference: 1901/C/3441 | Father: Frederick Schulz | Mother: Caroline Zisske

Qld BDM index columns (subject name, record type, date, registration reference, father, mother); date matches the tree's recorded death (11 Jan 1901) and confirms Friedrich Heinrich's father is Friedrich Schulz.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1896/C/4593 · Year 1896 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 24 JAN 1896 of John Coulson

John Coulson | Birth | 24/01/1896 | 1896/C/4593 | John Coulson | Fanney Sollitt

Second of the two separate John Coulson birth registrations to this couple (the first, 1894/C/2943, is the elder brother who died in infancy, #33717). Registered date 24/01/1896 matches the tree's already-recorded birth date exactly. Mother spelled 'Fanney' here against 'Fanny' on the 1894/1895 rows and 'Annie' on this John's own 1924 death row below — reported, not resolved, in the proposal note.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1924/C/1741 · Year 1924 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 26 APR 1924 of John Coulson

John Coulson | Death | 26/04/1924 | 1924/C/1741 | John Coulson | Annie SOllitt

Registered death date 26/04/1924 matches the tree's already-recorded death date exactly (26 APR 1924), aged about 28. Mother given as 'Annie SOllitt' here against 'Fanny'/'Fanney' on the family's other Coulson rows above — an index transcription variant, not investigated further.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1894/C/2943 · Year 1894 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 1894 of John Coulson

John Coulson | Birth | 15/01/1894 | 1894/C/2943 | John Coulson | Fanny Sollitt

Queensland historical BDM birth-index row, fields in the order returned: Name, Event, Date, Registration reference, Father, Mother. Retrieved by a births search for surname Coulson, given John, 1893-1897, father John Coulson, mother Fanny Sollitt. This is the FIRST of two separate John Coulson birth registrations to this couple in the Queensland index — the second, 1896/C/4593, belongs to the younger brother #33711 — proof the tree's two 'John Coulson' entries are different children, not a duplicate.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1895/C/1006 · Year 1895 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 1895 of John Coulson

John Coulson | Death | 05/01/1895 | 1895/C/1006 | John Coulson | Fanny Sollitt

Queensland historical BDM death-index row, same column order as the birth row above. This infant died at about one year old, within a fortnight of the first anniversary of his 15 Jan 1894 registered birth (cited on this event's person, #33717) — the reused-name pattern: a younger brother born two years later (#33711) was given the same given name.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1934/B/24481 · Year 1934 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 26 JUN 1934 of Wilhelm Frederick Albert Luther

William Frederick Albert Luther | Death | 26/06/1934 | - | Emielie Lutter | 1934/B/24481

QLD BDM death index. Date matches the tree's death date to the day; mother's name matches exactly (Lutter/Luther is the same German-immigrant family's spelling variance already reflected in the tree). Father column '-' = none recorded.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1886/B/36522 · Year 1886 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 1886 of Johannes Wilhelm Theodor Grevsmuhl

QLD BDM historical index, death search row; parents match this person's own recorded parents exactly, confirming the death is genuinely his (infant, ~11 months old).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1940/C/4586 · Year 1940 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

Name: John Frederick Grevsmuhl | Event: Death | Date: 19/12/1940 | Reference: 1940/C/4586 | Father: John Theodore | Mother: Dorothy Nicholsen

This person's own death event previously carried no citation. Same index row as the family citation; also the record that names his parents.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

Cecilia Gwyther | Death | 30/10/1903 | - Fewtrell | Ann Anslow | 1903/C/1223

Cecilia (nee Fewtrell) Gwyther's death, matching the tree's Cecelia Fewtrell (#34562) on name and exact date. Father column '- Fewtrell': surname only, no given name. Mother 'Ann Anslow' is an exact match to the tree's Ann Anslow (#52733).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1871/C/2978 · Year 1871 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 14 NOV 1871 of Margaret Phillipi

Margaret Ellen Phillipi | Birth | 14/11/1871 | reg 1871/C/2978 | father=Gustav Phillipi | mother=Rebecca Jackson

Queensland historical BDM index row in the search listing's column order: name, event, date, registration, father, mother. Confirms the existing birth date and parents, and is the only Margaret birth registered to this couple - the basis for treating #58166 as a duplicate of this person rather than a second daughter.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1911/B/13814 · Year 1911 · record Type death Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 1911 of Adam Fritsch

Adam Fritsch | Death | 08/03/1911 | - | - | 1911/B/13814

Both father and mother columns read '-' (register holds no name for either). Does not confirm or contradict the tree's mother 'Elizabeth' (#37897); it is nonetheless the first primary citation on Adam Fritsch's own death, previously wholly uncited.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1147 · Year 1877 Secondary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 16 DEC 1877 of Anna Maria Matzen

Death registration: Mary Schonknecht (nee Matz), 06/12/1877. Mother: Rosine Sugare. Father: Gottfried Matz.

Registration gives 06/12/1877, ten days earlier than the tree's existing 16 DEC 1877. Names her own parents: Gottfried Matz and Rosine Sugare.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 6397 · Year 1912 Secondary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Born” 5 JUN 1911 of Clyde Roderick Schoenknecht

Birth registration: Clyde Roderick Schonknecht, 05/06/1912. Mother: Martha Williams. Father: Wilhelm.

Registration gives 05/06/1912, a year later than the tree's existing 5 JUN 1911 - and his recorded death-age of 33 (d.17 Apr 1945) fits 1911 better than 1912. Flagging rather than changing the date, since the two pieces of evidence conflict.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1746 · Year 1929 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 14 JUN 1929 of Louise Charlotte Caroline Hafemeister

Names her own parents: Christian Friedrich Hafemeister and Louise Kurth.

Names both parents, matching Johann Wilhelm Schoenknecht and Louise Charlotte Caroline Hafemeister of family 10520.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1925/C/3311 · Year 1925 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 17 JUL 1925 of Wilhelmine Bliesner

Name: Wilhelmine Weigel; Event: Death; Date: 17/07/1925; Reference: 1925/C/3311; Father: -; Mother: -

QLD BDM death index, found under her married surname Weigel. Date matches the tree's bare death year exactly; both parent columns are blank on this, her OWN death registration, so it does not confirm 'Anna Bliesner' as her mother - that remains sourced only by the GEDCOM import. Her birth (1864, Germany) predates any accessible index and could not be checked.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1950/C/4526 · Year 1950 · record Type death Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 23 SEP 1950 of John Thomas Orchard

Name: John Thomas Orchard | Event: Death | Date: 23/09/1950 | Reference: 1950/C/4526 | Mother: Elizabeth Orchard

Matches the existing tree date exactly and the mother named on his 1867 birth citation already on file (fam 10602, same source). Elizabeth also later formed a separate union with David Rayner (fam 12296, six children); John Thomas was born 1867, kept the Orchard surname, and is not part of that later union.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1916/C/3543 · Year 1916 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 1916 of Paul Richard Abraham

Paul Richard Abraham | Death | 15/08/1916 | Michael Julius Abraham | Athilie Schmidt | 1916/C/3543

QLD BDM death index row, columns Name|Event|Date|Father|Mother|Reference. Names both parents: father matches #46413 exactly; mother 'Athilie Schmidt' is a near-homophone of Ottilia/Ottilie Schmidt. No QLD birth registration was found for Paul Richard Abraham (checked all years), consistent with a birth in Germany before the family's Queensland-recorded children began in 1888.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1939/C/4679 Primary

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index · Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages

For “Died” 24 SEP 1939 of Anna Marie Louisa Muller

Name: Anna Marie Louise Berlin | Event: Death | Date: 24/09/1939 | Reference: 1939/C/4679 | Father: Christian Muller | Mother: Friederike Louise Mellentin

Fills previously blank parents for #35307 (Christian Muller and Friederike Louise Mellentin), confirmed identically on both her birth and death registrations — distinct from Anna Katherine Agnes Muller #5578, born Baltimore, Maryland, USA to Gustav Adolph Muller and Maria Catarina Ellich. Hard discriminator settling review item 4385 as a false positive.
