Name: Henry Victor Mottershead | Event: Death | Date: 30/08/1940 | Reference: 1940/C/3871 | Father: - | Mother: Harriet Mottershead
Father column blank in the index, matching #65281's existing tree record (mother Harriet Mottershead only, no father). Establishes #65281 as a son born to Harriet Mottershead outside a recorded marriage — a different man from Henry Rathbone Mottershead #65289, legitimate son of James Mottershead and Annie Nixon, who died unmarried aged 24 in 1914. Hard discriminator settling review item 5617 as a false positive.
Name: Victor William Henry Mottershead | Event: Death | Date: 03/11/1973 | Reference: 1973/B/45854 | Father: Victor Henry Mottershead | Mother: Bessie Helena Robinson

John Dickson Brown | Birth | 23/08/1913 | David Brown | Ellen Madsen | 1913/C/968
Queensland historical birth index row, fields in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number.

John Deloughery Death 09/06/1889 - Ann Deloughery days 1889/C/4479
Direct source for this DEAT event; exact date match. Father column is "-". Mother column reads "Ann Deloughery days" — appears to be her name run together with his age at death in days, the numeral not captured by the index transcription.
Friedrick Wilhelm Hermann Heinrich Sbresni; Death; 11/05/1966; 1966/C/1606; Father: Friedrick Sbresni; Mother: August Relshees
Index columns (name; event; date; reference; father; mother). 'August Relshees' is an index OCR variant of Auguste Retschus. Matches his existing DEAT date exactly.
Birth registration: Herbert Augustus William Baynton, 21/07/1898. Mother: Celia Ann Pierce. Father: Angus Edward Baynton.
QLD BDM historical index search Bayntun/Herbert, read 2026-09-17 (the register itself spells the surname 'Baynton' and gives 'Angus'/'Celia Ann Pierce' for the parents' names the tree already holds as Augustus Edward Bayntun #66856 and Cecillia Ann Pearce #66859 — same couple, index transcription variants). Different father from Herbert Louis #26274 above. Settles duplicate_person item 4964.
Alexander John Hunter | Death | 24/01/1893 | reference 1893/C/887 | father George Hunter | mother Isabella Alexandrina Campbell
QLD BDM historical index death row. Registration date is 24 Jan 1893; the tree records the death itself as 4 Jan 1893 (source unclear, uncited before this pass) - the two dates may reflect death vs registration lag, or index/original may differ. Left the existing death date unchanged pending a certificate; citing the registration alongside it.
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), DEAT search. Reading: death date 13 AUG 1890. Identity: exact_date (record "13/08/1890" ↔ tree "13 AUG 1890"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Supports the death date the tree already holds (13 AUG 1890). Cited on the tree's DEAT event #109412 (13 AUG 1890).
Herbert Somerset Vidgen | Birth | 21/08/1901 | Herbert Grayhame Vidgen | Alice Maule Lascelles Jardine | 1901/C/10600
Queensland historical birth index row, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Matches the tree's existing exact birth date and parents #67277 x #67266 (family 21027) exactly. Previously uncited.
Herbert Somerset Vidgen | Death | 16/08/1973 | Herbert Grayhame Vidgen | Alice Maud Lascelles Jardine | 1973/B/43816
Same index. Matches the tree's existing exact death date and parents exactly. Distinguishes this man from his half-first-cousin #67290 (duplicate_person item 5639), son of Arthur Richard Vidgen.
Herbert Charles Vidgen | Death | 08/08/1976 | Arthur Richard Vidgen | Frances Josephine Mossop | 1976/B/71198

William Holmes | Death | 15/08/1870 | John Holmes | Mary Ann Throup | 1870/C/1174
Queensland historical BDM index, deaths search; same column order. Confirms William's death date already on file (his birth was in Parramatta, NSW, outside this index).
John Holmes | Death | 20/10/1862 | John Holmes | Mary Ann Throup | 1862/C/525
Queensland historical BDM index, deaths search (surname Holmes, father John, mother Throup); columns as searched (name/event/date/father/mother/reference). Parents match exactly; no other son named John in this family, so this is him - died as an infant, previously an empty undated DEAT stub with isLiving still set to true.
Benjamin Holmes | Birth | 16/12/1867 | John Holmes | Mary Anne Throup | 1868/C/2926
Queensland historical BDM index, births search; same column order (registered the following year, common for a December birth). Confirms Benjamin's birth date already on file.
Name: Jacob Mischlewski | Event: Death | Date: 03/09/1909 | Reference: 1909/C/1756 | Father: - Mischlewski | Mother: Lena -
Father recorded under surname 'Mischlewski' only (his own surname, unsurprising) with no given name - a father WAS registered but not identified further. Mother given as 'Lena -': given name only, no surname, matching what the tree already carries (see accompanying name.update).
John James Holmes | Birth | 30/09/1883 | 1883/C/1859 | Father: Jonas Holmes | Mother: Margaret Peardon
Queensland historical BDM index row (columns: name | event | date | registration no. | father | mother). Confirms #67724's own parents, distinct from John Edgar Joseph Throupe Holmes #67937 (son of David Holmes, see below) — settles duplicate_person review item 5641 as a false positive.

Queensland historical BDM index row; confirms Harold David Holmes's birth date against his parents' names (index spells the father 'Thrup', tree has 'Throupe').
Benjamin Holmes | Death | 16/03/1945 | 1945/C/371 | Father: - | Mother: -
Queensland historical BDM index row; father/mother fields blank in the index. Matches #68042's recorded death date exactly (event summary 'on the "Priscilla"', place 'at sea'). Benjamin is the father of the two unnamed sons in review item 5646, reported false positive (no discriminator on either stub to support a merge).
Christopher John Holmes Death 07/02/1949 - Mollie Rita Lorna Holmes 1949/B/20664
QLD BDM historical index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. Father column reads '-' (no name held). Mother matches the tree's Mollie Rita Lorna Holmes exactly.
James Tolmie | Death | 05/04/1939 | Father: Roderick | Mother: Helena Macrae | 1939/C/2211
Queensland death registration. Confirms the tree's 5 April 1939 and both parents (tree: Roderick Tolmie and Helen McRea). Wikidata's 6 April 1939 is wrong.
Little | James Johnstone | Death | 16/01/1935 | 1935 | B | 26589 | John | Margaret Paterson Swan
Queensland historical BDM index, one death search-result row. Field values in the index's own order: family name | given name(s) | record type | date of death | registration year | registration type | registration number | father's name | mother's name. The father's field holds the bare given name 'John', quoted as it stands. Matches the tree's death date 16 JAN 1935 exactly, and the mother's full name matches Margaret Paterson Swan #68463, which is what identifies the row.
Lindenberg | Ida Mary Francisca | 16/04/1881 | Otto Charles Lindenberg | Johanna Maria Theresa Seifert | 1881/C/1925
Queensland historical BDM index row, columns: Family name | Given name(s) | Date of birth | Father's/parent's name(s) | Mother's/parent's name(s) | Registration details.
Mary Livingstone Mellish Death 07/06/1908 - Livingstone Eliza Brown 1908/C/2887
QLD BDM historical death index, columns Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference. Registered under her married surname (Mellish, m. George Whittaker Mellish) rather than her birth surname Livingstone. Date matches the tree's death date exactly; mother 'Eliza Brown' matches the tree's Eliza Brown exactly. The Father column reads '- Livingstone': a father WAS recorded, under the surname Livingstone, but the index prints no given name, so he cannot be identified from this record alone. This is a surname-only-father finding, distinct from a blank father, per the batch brief.
Louise Christine Anna Badke. Birth. Date of event: 15/02/1891. Mother: Anna Maria Matilda Zillmann. Father/parent: Hermann Badke. Registration: 1891/C/4836
