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

For Albert John Qualischefski (1888–1923)

Albert Qualischefski, born 26/11/1888, father Andreas Heinrich Qualischefski, mother Henriette Welke, 1888/C/8707. Albert Qualischefski, death 06/12/1923, father Andreas Heinrich Qualischefski, mother Henriette Welke, 1923/C/4228.

This person's own record is entirely correct: birth date, both parents (#18058, #18059) and death year all match the register. What is wrong is the spouse link. He was born in 1888 and cannot be the Albert who married Margaretha Ullrich in 1874, so the husband slot of family 5595 is cleared. The 1874 groom is a different, older man who is not in the tree; no substitute is asserted.

For Joseph Qualischefski (1877–1940)

Joseph Qwalischefske, born 25/06/1877, father Albert John Qwalischefske, mother Margaretha Ullrich, 1877/C/5581.

For William Henry Whittle (1870–1948)

William Henry Whittle | Death | 01/02/1948 | 1948/B/15249 | - | -

Queensland historical death index row, retrieved 2026-08-29; columns in the index's own order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Both parent columns are blank in the register, which is why this man cannot be attached to a family. A separate registration from William John Marwood Whittle's (1951/C/3527), so #18197 and #17476 are two different men.

Queensland historical birth index, searched 2026-08-29. Columns in the order quoted: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Reference. The parents named are persons #18309 and #18310, the couple of family #5669; the index spells the surname Tetzloff. The certificate itself was not viewed.

Given names in reverse order on the index (Wilhelm Carl vs the tree's Carl Wilhelm).

For John Fitzsimmons (1881–1884)

John Fitzsimmons | Death | 30/09/1884 | Thomas Hamilton Fitzsimmons | Christina Horgor | 1884/C/5432

QLD historical BDM death-index row, same columns as above. Confirms this infant's death is a genuine registered event, not an uncited/typo entry.

For Charles Petrie (d. 1954)

Charles Petrie | Death | 28/12/1954 | reference 1955/B/5699 | father Adam | mother Matilda Jensen

Columns as returned by the index: name | event | date | reference | father | mother. Confirms identity: this Charles Petrie (d. 28 Dec 1954, matching the tree) is the son of Adam Petrie and Maria Mathilde Jensen, so the 1893 marriage record belongs to this same person, not a namesake. The birth year 1886 is provably wrong; correct year unknown (bounded well before 1886, plausibly mid-1860s to early 1870s given his mother's birth year of 1856), so it is cleared rather than guessed.

For Albert Stroud Fry (1873–1873)

Albert Stroud Fry, Birth, 03/04/1873, father Henry George Fry, mother Mary Ryalls, 1873/C/622; Death, 01/11/1873, same parents, 1873/C/190

For Albert Stroud Fry (1874–1958)

Albert Stroud Fry, Birth, 08/11/1874, father Henry George Fry, mother Mary Ryalls, 1875/C/640

Second of two births of an Albert Stroud Fry to this couple. He is the man who died 12/12/1958 (QLD 1958/C/4745, same parents). NOT the same person as #18531.

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

For Carl Friedrich Dieckmann (1851–1930)

Carl Diekmann, Death, 16/06/1930, father Charles Diekmann, mother Hannah Diekmann, 1930/B/11301

Separate death registration three years before #2673's and with a different mother. His son William's death (1936/B/31424) names Charles and Augusta, matching this row's wife Auguste. Two men, not one.

For Johann Gottlieb Schmidt (1825–1902)

Johann Gottleib Schmidt, Death, 29/12/1902, father Gottlieb Schmidt, mother Marie Ruhl, 1903/C/1826

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

For Ann Hill (1843–1875)

"Ann Knight | Death | 15/04/1875 | reg 1875/B/9288 | father=Joseph Hill | mother=Mary Weston"

Names both parents, and matches the death date already recorded. She died under the surname Knight because she remarried Charles Knight in 1872 after Joseph Peters' death, which is why a search under Peters finds nothing. Corroborated by her brothers' Queensland deaths naming the same parents: Henry Hill 1925/B/47510 and George Hill 1860/B/452.

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

For Anna Margaretha Catharina Peters (1869–1870)

Anna Margaretha Catharina Peters | Death | 27/01/1870 | 1870/C/152 | Karsten Peters | Katharina Veind

Queensland historical BDM index row, field order: name | event | date | reference | father | mother. Confirms #18648's parents match the tree (Karsten Peters x Catharina Feind, index spells 'Veind'); distinguishes her from the other three Anna ... Peters in this duplicate_person cluster, who have different fathers. Refines the tree's year-only death date (1870) to the index's exact date.

For Johann Nicklaus Tanzer (d. 1880)

John Nicholaus Tanzer, Death, 13/12/1880, father Johann Gottlieb Tanzer, mother Antje Non Heidge, 1880/C/448

Presumed to be this Johann Nicklaus Tanzer: re-checked this session, he is the ONLY Johann/John Nic(k)(h)ol(a)us/Nicholas Tanzer in the entire Queensland BDM index (deaths, marriages, and as father on every matching birth). No second candidate found; no certificate purchased. Gives his own parents. The mother's surname as indexed ("Non Heidge") is transcribed exactly as returned; possibly a Frisian/Low-German patronymic or place-name form, not otherwise resolved.

For Hermann Tanzer (1856–1931)

Herman Tanzer, Death, 24/09/1931, father John, mother Margaret Peters, 1931/C/4254

Replaces the bare year 1931 with the exact registered date and supports his parentage.

Queensland historical BDM index row, field order: name | event | date | reference | father | mother, under #18728's married name Reimers. Confirms her parents match the tree (Hans Jacob Wilhelm Peters x Margaretta Christina Wieden, index spells 'Neiden' for Wieden) and her exact death date already held. Distinguishes her from the other three Annas.

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

For Margaret Massey Ross (1864–1937)

Margaret Massey Dowling, Death, 29/11/1937, father George Ross, mother Catherine McVarrcy, 1937/C/4935

For Wilhelm Carl Schmidt (1849–1918)

Wilhelm Carl Schmidt, Death, 23/02/1918, Samuel Schmidt, Caroline Thurau, 1918/C/787

Queensland historical index, deaths search. Columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Registration reference. Confirms the tree's existing parents Samuel Schmidt x Caroline Thurau (family 5906) and death date. Wilhelm Carl Schmidt #19045 married Louise Deutschmann (d.1907) and had 8 children born 1871-1885 in Prussia and at Maryborough QLD -- a different wife and children from Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt #6730 (dup_person item 4410), settling the pair as different men who merely share a common German name and an approximate birth year.

For Albert Ferdinand Wessling (1894–1972)

Albert Ferdinand Wessling | Birth | 28/11/1894 | 1894/C/8984 | Hermann Wessling | Henriette Schulz

Queensland historical birth index row, retrieved 2026-09-18 (independently re-verified by the skeptic reviewer); columns: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Matches #19170's recorded parents (Herman August Ferdinand Wessling #19166 x Henriette Caroline Schulz #19116, family 5895) and recorded birth date exactly. A DIFFERENT father (Hermann, not August Friedrich) from #14064's registration above - two distinct men, not the same person twice.

For Frederick John Steffens (d. 1916)

Frederick John Steffens | Death | 14/10/1916 | Frederick Steffens | Ethel May Butterfield | 1916/C/4886

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

For Wilhelmine Lindenberg (1847–1941)

Herman Christoph William Riek b. 04/06/1886, father Christoph Carl Riek, mother Wilhelmina Lindenburg (1886/C/1092). Albert Frederick Riek b. 23/06/1889, father Christopher Riek, mother Wilhelmine Lindenberg (1889/C/1749). Wilhelmina Louisa Rick b. 07/03/1892, father Christopher Rick, mother Wilhelmina Lindenburg (1892/C/1498).

Three Queensland birth registrations name her as mother after the 21 Feb 1886 death date the tree carried, so none of the three posthumous-birth errors is a wrong child link. Six registrations 1876-1892 give her maiden name as Lindenberg/Lindenburg/Lenneberg. The 21 Feb 1886 death registration the tree used (1886/C/1443, Wilhelmine Riek, father Gottlieb Groth, mother Johanna Weber) belongs to another woman.

Christina Peters | Birth | 14/04/1889 | 1889/C/3144 | Father: Christian Frederick Ferdinand Peters | Mother: Mary Kann

QLD BDM historical index, Births. Confirms #19325's parents, distinct from #20484's.

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

For Frederick William Albert Krenske (1903–1974)

Frederick William Albert Krenske | Death | 03/05/1974 | Frederick William Albert Krenske | Emilie Mauteuffel | 1974/C/3429

The index's own Father column repeats the deceased's name (informant/register quirk); mother 'Emilie Mauteuffel' matches Emilie Manteufel, so quality lowered to 2.

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

For Ruby Augusta Pokarier (1903–1955)

Ruby Augusta Pokarier, born 25/12/1903, father Carl Frederick William Pokarier, mother Auguste Wilhelmine Stumer, 1903/C/3828.

Same day and month as the tree, four years earlier. Her mother died 2 Mar 1907, so 1907 was impossible; 1903 is not. The parent link is correct and needs no change. Her siblings' registrations all match the tree: Henry John 05/05/1900 (1900/C/4654), Elsie Martha 02/06/1901 (1901/C/4460), Laura May 07/04/1904 (1904/C/4486), Lily Violet 03/08/1905 (1905/C/4351).

Identity evidence. Note the marriage index date 09/10/1890 differs by two days from the 7 OCT 1890 recorded in the tree and on the Find a Grave memorial; I have not changed it.

For Ernst Friedrich Hermann Devantier (1857–1937)

Ernst Friedrich Hermann Devantier | Death | 21/08/1937 | - | Friederike Devantier | 1937/C/3108

Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Father column is '-' (no name recorded); mother matches the tree's Friederike Devantier exactly. Date matches the tree's existing DEAT date (21 AUG 1937) to the day. Subject was born 1857 in Cremzow, Brandenburg, Germany (pre-migration) so no QLD birth registration exists for him.

For Alfred Charles Peters (1896–1970)

Alfred Charles Peters | Death | 29/07/1970 | Alfred Peters | Elizabeth Jane Dean | 1970/C/3745

Queensland historical death index row, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Confirms #19535's parents exactly as recorded, and rules out identity with #20482 and #27026 (duplicate_person items #4805/#4806), whose own birth/death registrations below name different parents.

For Alfred Charles Peters (1896–1970)

Alfred Charles Peters | Birth | 23/07/1896 | Alfred Peters | Elizabeth Jane Dean | 1896/C/2167

Queensland historical birth index row, same columns. This is #19535's own birth registration (independently found in this skeptic pass), refining the tree's bare 'JUL 1896' to an exact day and further confirming his parentage against #20482 and #27026.

For Grace Louisa Peters (1899–1973)

Grace Louisa Peters | Birth | 14/10/1899 | 1899/C/2125 | Father: Alfred Peters | Mother: Elizabeth Jane Dean

QLD BDM historical index, Births. Confirms #19540's parents (already noted as a bare ref in the imported event summary), distinct from #18679's.

For David Giebel (1877–1914)

Queensland births to David Giebel and (Anna) Christina Naumann: Violet Agnes 24/02/1902 (1902/C/4428), Ruby Catherine 21/06/1904 (1904/C/4563), Edward John 08/03/1907 (1907/C/4804), Elsie Christina 23/09/1910 (1910/C/4121), Pearly Eileen 18/02/1914 (1914/C/4772).

All four children in family 6012 are registered to this couple on the exact dates the tree already holds, so none of the four posthumous-birth errors is a wrong child link - his 1879 death date was. A fifth registered child, Pearly Eileen b. 18/02/1914, is not in the tree and proves he was still alive then. No David Giebel death appears in the Queensland index 1870-1970, so the death is left open as AFT 18 FEB 1914.

Heinrich Muller, Death, 28/10/1927, father Heinrich Muller, mother Elizabeth Imhoff, 1927/C/4813

Exact date match and supplies parents this row lacked. #39189 was born at Gruenberg in Thuringia, married Mary Orth at Ipswich in 1876 and died at Laidley in 1932. Two men.
