Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1892/C/9318 · Year 1892 Primary

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

Queensland historical BDM index row. Registered in 1892 for a birth on 5 Dec 1891; corrects the record's year-only '1892' entry (which read the registration year) to the true birth date.

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

QLD BDM birth index row (Name/Event/Date/Reference/Father/Mother columns). Day and month (17 May) match the tree exactly; the year does not (tree had 1891). The index's 1893 removes the impossible 180-day gap to brother August's proven 22 Nov 1890 birth (#41747, confirmed by its own matching index row) -- an 18-month gap instead. Surname 'Stuhmke' and parents 'August Stuhmke'/'Louisa Kickbush' are attested index spellings of Stuhmcke (#41747) and Kickbusch (#35078).

For Franz Peter Walz (1871–1955)

Franz Peter Walz | Birth | 30/04/1871 | Francis Michael Walz | Fredericka Labaez | 1871/C/3717

Queensland historical BDM index row; matches the tree's existing birth date exactly. Confirms distinct parents (Franz Michael Walz) from Franz Wilhelm Walz above (s/o Joseph Martin Walz) - these are cousins sharing the given name 'Franz', not the same person, reviewed together as item 4851.

For Andrew John Huxley (1916–1938)

Andrew John Huxley, birth 08/03/1916, father William John Huxley, mother Mary Agnes King. Reference 1916/C/3814

Queensland birth index. The tree carried 16 OCT 1889, which put him 24 years before his parents' 1913 marriage at Charters Towers. Parents in the index match family 10977 exactly. William John Huxley's own birth is indexed at 1887/C/5460 (01/09/1887, father Andrew Huxley, mother Carra Maria Dahl) - the 1889 date appears to have been an artefact of the earlier generation.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1877/C/3134 · Year 1877 Primary

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

For Johanna Auguste Louise Herbst (1877–1926)

Confirms #36747 is a third, separate Gray man from #3341 (b.1883 West Bromwich, England, never emigrated per the 1911 census) despite the shared name and birth year.

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

For Patrick James Maunsell (1906–1907)

Patrick James Maunsell | Death | 01/01/1907 | - | Eva Maunsell | 1907/C/1346

No death was previously recorded for this child at all. Identified by exact full name + approximate mother-name match, an infant death about 2.5 months after the birth registered above; quality marked 2 rather than 3 because the identification rests on name-matching rather than an independent date match. A different-mother 'James Patrick Maunsell' death (1931, mother Alice Quilty) also surfaced in the pre-screen cache under this name but is a different family and is NOT used here.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1899/C/484 · Year 1899 Primary
