John Stephen Long | Death | 01/02/1932 | Stephen Long | Sarah Colston | 1932/C/719

Queensland historical death index row, field values in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration reference. Date is the date of death (checked against two rows in this family where the tree and the index already agree exactly).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Year 1966 Β· Registration No 1966/B/81053 Primary

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

For Fredericke Drescher (d. 1966)

"Anna Friederike Oppermann - date of death 21/05/1966 - father: August Drescher - mother: Luise Burow - 1966/B/81053"

Identifies the wife of Gustav Leonhard Oppermann as a daughter of August Drescher and Luise Burow - the parents already on this record - and fixes her death to 21 MAY 1966, matching the bare 1966 held here. Her recorded birth of 1894 belongs to a younger sister, Fredericka Drescher, born 12/06/1894 to the same couple (1894/C/6937); a woman who married in Oct 1900 cannot have been born in 1894. The birth year is cleared rather than guessed.

Name: August Carl Friederich Hinze | Event: Death | Date: 01/07/1949 | Reference: 1949/B/22551 | Father: Carl Fredrick Wilhelm | Mother: Johanna Louisa Fredricka Ludke

Confirms the death date already on file (1 Jul 1949) with the official registration; parents match exactly.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1881/M/1833 Β· Year 1881 Primary

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

For Carl Frederick Wilhelm Hinze (d. 1881)

Name: Carl Frederick Wilhelm Hinze | Event: Death | Date: 31/08/1881 | Reference: 1881/M/1833 | Father: Carl Frederick Wilhelm Hinze | Mother: Johanna Ludke

Queensland historical BDM index row (site's own fields, in order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother). Death date only; no birth registration found for this infant. Given name matches his father's exactly, consistent with an infant who died in his first year.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1888/C/2449 Β· Year 1888 Primary

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

For Ferdinand Hinze (d. 1888)

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1892/C/7597 Β· Year 1892 Primary

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

For Helene Wilhelmine Hinze (1891–1935)

Name: Helene Wilhelmine Hinze | Event: Birth | Date: 29/11/1891 | Reference: 1892/C/7597 | Father: Rudolf Hinze | Mother: Marie Jolke

GEDCOM had 1892, which is the registration year; the row's own birth date is 29 Nov 1891 (late-year births were commonly registered the following year). Corrected, not merely precised.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1896/C/6805 Β· Year 1896 Primary

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

For Auguste Karoline Hinze (1896–1896)

Name: Auguste Kardine Hinze | Event: Birth | Date: 23/01/1896 | Reference: 1896/C/6805 | Father: Rudolf Hinze | Mother: Maria Hinze

'Kardine' for 'Karoline' appears to be a transcription slip; birth year, surname and father match Auguste Karoline Hinze exactly and the death six months later (below) confirms the same short-lived child.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1886/C/5176 Β· Year 1886 Primary

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

For William Frederick Carl Hinze (1886–1895)

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1886/C/2203 Β· Year 1886 Primary

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

Name: Heinrich August Kanowski; Event: Death; Date: 28/02/1946; Reference: 1946/C/1154; Father: Gottfried; Mother: Louisa Josewski

QLD BDM death index row. NOT the same man as Heinrich Kanowski #14423, whose parents are Carl Kanowski and Maria Kajewski.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1882/C/5049 Β· Year 1882 Primary

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

For Johann Ludwich Knopke (1882–1882)

"Johann Ludwich Knopke | Birth | 02/05/1882 | reg 1882/C/5049 | father=Johann Ludwich Knopke | mother=Auguste Emilie Wiese"

Distinct from Johann Friedrich Knopke #33330, registered separately as 1883/C/5788, born 02/05/1883 - exactly one year later to the same parents. Two brothers.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1883/C/5788 Β· Year 1883 Primary

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

Distinct from Johann Ludwich Knopke #33329 (1882/C/5049, 02/05/1882). Two registrations to one couple.

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

For Carl August Knopke (1845–1919)

Carl August Knopke | Death | 12/03/1919 | - | - | 1919/B/29104

Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Exact match for the tree's death date; neither parent is indexed on this row, so it confirms the death but yields no parentage.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1947/C/4584 Β· Year 1947 Secondary

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

For Heinrich Adolf Friedrich Bichel (b. 1827)

Heinrich Nicholas Christian Bichel, Death, 08/10/1947, 1947/C/4584

The only Bichel death registered in Queensland between 1940 and 1950, and it is the SON, Heinrich Nicolaus Christien Bichel #30241 (1860-1947), who already carries this exact death date and the Prenzlau place. The father, born 30 JAN 1827, would have been 120. His death (8 OCT 1947) and burial (9 OCT 1947, Minden Lutheran Cemetery) are duplicates of the son's, so both dates are cleared here; the Minden Lutheran burial of 9 OCT 1947 should be recorded against #30241 instead.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1896/C/8457 Β· Year 1896 Primary

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

For Anna Maria Wilhelmina Kapernick (1895–1975)

"Anna Wilhelmine Kapernick | Birth | 20/12/1895 | reg 1896/C/8457 | father=Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Kapernick | mother=Emilie Augusta Zimitat"

Carl Kapernick and Emilie Zimitat registered only this one daughter named Anna in 1888-1905. The 18 JUL 1896 previously on this row is her cousin's date (1896/C/8801).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1896/C/8457 Β· Year 1896 Primary

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

For Anna Maria Wilhelmina Kapernick (1895–1975)

"Anna Wilhelmine Kapernick | Birth | 20/12/1895 | reg 1896/C/8457 | father=Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Kapernick | mother=Emilie Augusta Zimitat"

QLD BDM births 1888-1905 hold only this one Anna to Carl Kapernick and Emilie Zimitat. #33511's recorded 18 JUL 1896 belongs to her cousin Anna Marie (1896/C/8801), a different family.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1914/B/20342 Β· Year 1914 Secondary

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

For Ann Smith (1861–1914)

Ann Zillman, Death, 13/11/1914, father William Smith, mother Alice Wilson, 1914/B/20342

Exact date match and supplies her parents, which this row lacked: William Smith and Alice Wilson. #34970's parents were George Smith and Mary Ann Ward and she died at Miles in 1943. Two women.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1905/C/3317 Β· Year 1905 Β· Type C Primary

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

For Karl Heinrich Emil Schulz (d. 1905)

Name: Carl Heinrich Schultz | Event: Death | Date: 16/12/1905 | Reference: 1905/C/3317 | Father: Friedrich Schultz | Mother: Caroline Siscke

Qld BDM index columns (subject name, record type, date, registration reference, father, mother); confirms Karl's parents are Friedrich Schulz and Caroline Zieske (spelled Schultz/Siscke here). NB: the register's death date (16 Dec 1905) differs from the tree's recorded 16 Feb 1905 - left uncorrected, flagged for a separate follow-up.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1910/C/3454 Β· Year 1910 Primary

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

For Carl Christian Wilhelm Grevsmuhl (1886–1910)

Name: William Charles Christian Greesnuhl | Event: Death | Date: 03/03/1910 | Reference: 1910/C/3454 | Father: Theodore Elias Johann Greesnuhl | Mother: Dorothea Michelson

QLD BDM historical index, death search row, found while researching case C058 (family 10302). 'Greesnuhl' is this index's mistranscription of Grevsmuhl (the same family's other rows show 'Michelsen'/'Michelson'/'Michaelson' variously, so index spelling drift is normal here). Parents match this person's own recorded parents (Theodor Elias Johann Grevsmuhl + Elisabeth/Dorothea Michelsen, family #10293) exactly. Of the 3 siblings not obviously matched to a death under the Grevsmuhl surname, Dorothea Charlotte is independently accounted for under her married name (Lange, d.1961), and Frederick Johannes shares no given-name element with 'William Charles Christian' - only Carl Christian Wilhelm's own names (Wilhelm/Carl/Christian) correspond, anglicised and reordered, so this is read as his death rather than an additional, unrecorded sibling.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1890/C/3447 Β· Year 1890 Primary

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

For Henry John Lange (1890–1939)

"Henry John Lange | Birth | 11/04/1890 | reg 1890/C/3447 | father=John Lange | mother=Elizabeth Wecker"

Gives an exact birth date replacing the year-only GEDCOM value; confirms the parents already linked (#33380 John Lange, #33379 Elizabeth Wecker). Different father than #43145 Henry Lange (reg 1889/C/1497, father Carl Lange) - confirms these are two different men.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1893/C/6362 Β· Year 1893 Secondary

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

For Delia Theresa Neilsen (1893–1943)

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1899/C/6670 Β· Year 1899 Secondary

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

For Charles Benjamin Smith (1899–1955)

Charles Benjamin Smith, Birth, 31/10/1899, father Job Chamberlin Smith, mother Harriett Manders, 1899/C/6670

Confirms parents Job Chamblain Smith and Harriet Manders (#33972/#33973, family 10307), unrelated to Charles Edward Kingsford Smith #49446 (the aviator). duplicate_person item 5092 resolved as unrelated namesakes.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1945/C/1747 Β· Year 1945 Primary

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

For Henry Dickfos (1883–1945)

Name: Henry Dickfos | Event: Death | Date: 28/05/1945 | Father: Hermann | Mother: Anna Fischer | Reference: 1945/C/1747

QLD BDM historical index row, columns as shown. Confirms #34075's parents as Hermann (Wilhelm Christian) Dickfos/Anna Fischer, distinguishing him from #12719 β€” review item #4609.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1882/C/976 Β· Year 1882 Primary

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

For Amelia Pillow Bottrell (1881–1937)

Amelia Pellow Botterel | Birth | 15/12/1881 | William Botterel | Patience Nickolas

Queensland historical birth index; parents match William Bottrell #34098 and Patience Nicholas #34099 (index spells the surname Botterel/Nickolas). The tree's prior birthDate (26 MAR 1892) actually belongs to a same-named niece, Amelia Pellow Bottrell, daughter of Christopher Bottrell #34132 and Mary Ninnes Williams (qld-bdm ref 1892/C/5493) - a reused family given-name conflation.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 3371 Β· Year 1879 Primary

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

For Heinrich Wilhelm Taege (1879–1936)

Queensland BDM historical index row; columns: name | event | date | registration number | father | mother. Matches the tree's existing birth date and parents Fredrich Taege #34259 / Julianna Augusta Gurski #34260 exactly; a different couple from #34286's parents below, which is the discriminator that settles item 5097.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1553 Β· Year 1936 Primary

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

For Heinrich Wilhelm Taege (1879–1936)

Norman Taege | Birth | 19/11/1909 | 1909/C/6010 | Heinrich Wilhelm Taege | Minna Knack

Queensland BDM historical index row. Upgrades the tree's year-only birth date (1909) to the full registered date; parents match #34270/#34273. No matching death-index row was found for Norman under this father's name, so the tree's 1963 death date is left as-is.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 3627 Β· Year 1880 Primary

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