Auguste Louise Fritz | Marriage | 29/07/1903 | Charles Fred Dieckmann | 1903/C/799
Queensland historical index, marriage search on surname Fritz / given Auguste, retrieved 2026-08-29. Columns: name | event | date | spouse | registration number. The only Fritz-Dieckmann marriage in the index; it is the marriage recorded on both family #1107 and family #2732. Restored from failed proposal #471.
Johann Koch | Marriage | 11/07/1906 | 1906/C/2016 | Spouse: Augusta Mary Niebling
QLD historical BDM index row. Matches the family's existing marriage date of 11 JUL 1906 exactly; upgrades this marriage from an uncited compiled-tree import to a primary civil registration.
William James Dockrill | Marriage | 01/06/1906 | 1906/C/2087 | Spouse: Mary Niebling
QLD historical BDM index row (QLD marriage rows do not carry parents). Gives the exact marriage date (1 Jun 1906); the family record previously held only the year 1906 - updated below.
Bertha Teresia Kitzelmann | Marriage | 21/07/1909 | 1909/C/1449 | spouse: Karl Ferdinand Zieth
Queensland historical BDM index row (columns: name | event | date | reference | spouse); confirms and gives the exact date for the family's marriage, previously recorded as year-only 1909.
Julius Kitzelmann married Bertha Kruger, 14/08/1879, 1879/C/1172. Children registered to Julius Edward Kitzelmann and Bertha Emilie Kruger include Marie Elisabeth 29/05/1882 (1882/C/5123) and Dora Attilie Alvina 12/07/1900 (1900/C/9092).
This is where the 1879 marriage belongs: Julius Eduard Kitzelmann (#20998, b. 1843) and Emilie Auguste Bertha Kruger (#9331). The family had no marriage date; it now has the exact one.
Frederick Zabel married Elizabeth Kitzelmann, 20/02/1900, 1900/C/1096. Wilhelm Friedrich Zabel, born 11/01/1901, father Frederick Zabel, mother Elizabeth Kitzelmann, 1901/C/8450.
Gives the exact marriage date for the year held and confirms the child link to Frederick Zabel. Three further registered children of the couple are not in the tree: Dore 15/03/1904 (1904/C/8676), Christena 21/11/1907 (1908/C/4685), Hilda Louise 13/03/1909 (1909/C/5227).
Arnold William Borghardt Keding Birth 15/04/1909 Bertha Christina Keding 1909/C/11136
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. The Father column is BLANK. The only child of this family; both the child's full name and the mother's full name match the tree exactly.
Edwin Ethehed Galvin | Marriage | 06/01/1896 | Fanny Hope Raymond | 1896/C/1327
Queensland historical marriage index row, columns Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Reference. Exact name match for both spouses. The tree's 1886 is a transcription error (86 for 96); 6 Jan 1896 makes Fanny 20/21 at marriage, one year before Edwin's 1897 death, and before her 1900 remarriage to Thomas Armstrong.
"Christian Scheuerle - marriage 31/03/1910 - other party: Anna Vohland - 1910/C/2917"; "Clarence Edward Scheuerle - died 28/12/1982 - father: Christian Wilhelm Scheuerle - mother: Anna Vohland"
The marriage and the children are real: Clarence's death registration names both parents. The husband is a Christian Wilhelm Scheuerle born about 1885, who does not appear in the Queensland birth index 1878-1910 and was probably born abroad. The person formerly in this slot (6682) was born 3 JUN 1904 and cannot be him, so the slot has been emptied rather than filled with a guess.
Ethel Truloff | Marriage | 06/04/1939 | Leonard Hamilton Yates | 1939/C/1892
Queensland historical marriage index; the same row is returned searching either spouse. Marriage rows carry no parents, so the identification of the bride rests on the two birth registrations and the death registration of the 1893 Ethel.
Johann Althaus | Marriage | 02/02/1899 | Elisabeth Freyling | 1899/C/620
Queensland historical index, marriage search on surname Althaus, retrieved 2026-08-29. Columns: name | event | date | spouse | registration number. The only Althaus-Freyling marriage in the index, matching the date recorded on families #3544 and #3638. Restored from failed proposal #486.
Name: Friedrich Wilhelm Neumann | Event: Death | Date: 13/04/1948 | Reg. No.: 1948/C/1649 | Father: Friedrich Wilhelm Neumann | Mother: Auguste Anna Dorothea Zillmann
Death index row naming both parents, confirming the family link is correct; only the birth year (transcribed as 1844) was wrong.
Wilfred John Freidman | Marriage | 02/12/1924 | Mabel Grace Harris | 1924/B/35967
Queensland historical marriage index row, field values in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Registration reference. Retrieved 29 Aug 2026 via familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au, marriages, surname Freidman, spouse Harris — the only row with both full names.
name: Johann Billiau | event: Marriage | date: 27/06/1873 | reference: 1873/C/315 | spouse: Marie Auguste Dorothea Friederike Billiau
Queensland historical marriage index gives the exact date of the union previously recorded only as the bare year 1873; added to family.startDate and the MARR event. Re-verified live via QLD BDM 2026-09-17.
Eleven Queensland birth registrations 1887-1908 name the parents as Hermann Wendt and Anna/Annie Spann.
Confirms every child link in this family, so the impossible ages came from the mother's birth date alone. Her son Hermann Wendt's death registration (1966/C/2199) likewise names his mother as Annie Spann.
Christian Philip Abel | Marriage | 06/08/1862 | Magdalina Kahler | 1862/B/322
Queensland historical marriage index, searched 2026-09-17. Columns in the order quoted: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Reference. Queensland marriage index rows do not carry parents. Date matches family #4629's recorded marriage date (6 AUG 1862) exactly, confirming the union; the register spells the bride 'Magdalina Kahler' rather than 'Helena Kahler'.
August Neumann | Marriage | 08/11/1883 | 1883/B/8566
QLD historical BDM index row (Name/Event/Date/Reg.No; QLD marriage rows do not carry parents or the spouse's name). Matches the family's existing marriage date of 8 NOV 1883 exactly. #14840 (b. 1 Mar 1860, Klein Nakel, Deutsch Krone, Germany; d. 1939 Mount Berryman QLD, father of 9 children with Anna Litfin) is unrelated to #57368 August Wilhelm Emil Neumann, who was born and died as an infant in Tanunda, South Australia in 1858-59, son of Johann August Neumann x Johanne Eleonore Thamm (dup item 4671) - different birthplace, different country, different parents, different fate.
Friedrich Wilhelm Hermann Neumann m. Annie Schermuly, Marriage, 12/12/1885, 1885/C/895
#14900's own marriage registration. A separate Neumann-Goschnick marriage is registered as 1891/C/1036 (Hermann Friedrich Carl Neumann m. Wilhelmine Goschnick). Two men, two wives, two registrations - #14900 is not #14773.
Felix Madden | Marriage | 25/09/1939 | Grace Coles | 1939/C/3805
QLD historical index row (name, event, date, spouse, registration number). Bride indexed under her Coles surname; identity as Grace Gard rests on the death row and press cited on Grace #15276. Certificate not seen.
Charles Arthur Mountford Birth 07/06/1894 Stella Mountford 1894/C/1453 | Alice Mountford Birth 25/01/1897 Stella Mountford 1897/C/1409
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. The Father column is BLANK in both rows. Both children of this family are present.
Percy Otto Carl Spann, born 06/09/1912, father Hermann Carl Christian Spann, mother Mathilda Theresia Friedricke Zahnow, 1912/C/6758. Eva Mary Spann, born 20/03/1916, father Herman Charlie Christian, mother Matilda Theresa Fredricka Dennien known as Zahnow, 1916/C/5547.
The 1916 registration gives the mother both names, Dennien and Zahnow, which is the widow of Zahnow born Dennien - i.e. #31661, not her dead infant daughter #31665. The wife slot is repointed accordingly; the child link to Percy stays. Eva Mary Spann b. 1916 is a second registered child not yet in the tree.
William Spann Birth 06/01/1897 Augusta Spann Cook 1897/B/59619 | John William Erick Spann Birth 14/08/1901 Augusta Spann 1901/B/3332 | Alexander James Oscar Spann Birth 18/02/1909 Augusta Spann 1909/C/3094
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. The Father column is BLANK in every row. All three children of this family are present. The 1897 row gives the mother as 'Augusta Spann Cook'.
Benjamin Gottfried Spann | Marriage | 03/04/1918 | Alwine Martha Lindemann | 1918/C/1259
Queensland historical marriage index; fields as returned in the order name | event | date | spouse | registration reference. The only Spann-Lindemann marriage in the index.
Lindemann | Carl August Friedrich | 19/09/1888 | Louise Mary Krinke | 1888/C/666
Index row, columns in the register's own order: Family name | Given name(s) | Date of marriage | Spouse's name | Registration details. Gives 19 Sep 1888; the family's existing (uncited, GEDCOM-imported) date was 21 Sep 1888 — corrected to this registration.
Auguste Eichmann married Herman Herbsh, 09/12/1896, 1896/C/1219.
Confirms the marriage date for Helene Auguste Marie Eichmann (#17042, recorded on both children's registrations as "Auguste"/"Lena Auguste" Eichmann) to Hermann August Herbst (#17041).
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. The Father column is BLANK. The only child of this family; all four given names match. The mother is indexed Martha Helena where the tree has Martha Lena.
Wilhelm Berlin, Marriage, 02/04/1875, Wilhelmina Dommro, 1875/C/241
Queensland historical index, marriages search. Columns: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Registration reference. Matches family #5400's recorded start date of 2 APR 1875.
August Friedrich Wilhelm Eichmann married Auguste Albertine Wilhelmine Billian, 31/01/1884, 1884/C/911.
Gives the exact marriage date for the year already held. The couple's other children are all registered to them: Ernst Hermann Trangott 15/03/1886 (1886/C/5131), August Friedrich Carl 26/05/1890 (1890/C/7934), Martha Annie 04/08/1891 (1891/C/7773), Ida Theresa 16/08/1892 (1892/C/7765), Hermann Gustav 19/09/1893 (1893/C/7134) - so only Ivy's link was wrong.
Albert Qwalischefski married Margaretha Ullrich, 30/09/1874, 1874/C/281. Children registered to Albert Qualischefski and Margaretha Ullrich: Joseph 25/06/1877 (1877/C/5581), Albert 20/10/1881 (1881/C/4996), Alfons 23/04/1884 (1884/C/6167), Mary Teresa 06/01/1892 (1892/C/9346). Margaretha Qualischefski, death 07/07/1916, father Lukas Ullrich, mother Katherina Selzer, 1916/C/3504.
The marriage date 1874 is correct, the wife is correct (her death names Lukas Ullrich and Katherine Selsen, matching #18100 and #18101), and every child link is correct. Only the husband was the wrong man.
Arthur Hauser | Marriage | 03/06/1908 | 1908/C/1209 | Spouse: Sophia Augusta Dionysius
QLD historical BDM index. Spouse name is an exact match; sets the union to married with this date (family previously held unionType 'unknown', no date).
"Amanda Maria Anna Giesemann - marriage 21/07/1885 - other party: Adolf Volmer Hansen - 1885/C/1383"
Confirms the marriage date already in the tree and therefore rules out her recorded birth year of 1877: she cannot have married at eight and borne a child in Jan 1886. The birth year has been cleared rather than guessed; no child link was touched, because the impossible ages all follow from that one field.
Roland Cross | Marriage | 09/01/1907 | Minnie Amelia Engel | 1907/C/2269
Queensland historical marriage index, columns Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Reference. This is the marriage that justifies unionType married and the start date.
Florence May Cross | Birth | 20/05/1908 | Roland Cross | Minnie Amelia Engel | 1908/C/1103
Queensland historical birth index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Names both parents of Florence May Cross (#21295, tree birth year 1908) sixteen months after the marriage. A second Florence May Cross born 01/05/1906 to William John Cross and Annie Margaret Ridley is a different child.
Amanda Sprenger | Marriage | 29/04/1915 | Ernest Frederick Smith | 1915/C/1371
First evidence for this marriage, whose date was already recorded but carried only Public Member Trees citations. Queensland marriage rows name no parents and no place, so none is asserted.
Carl Hammelmann married Emma Marschke, 28/07/1911. Reference 1911/C/1578
Queensland marriage index. Confirms the date the tree already held for this family. NOTE the index gives the bride's surname as Marschke, while the tree has Emma Greinke - flagged, not changed, because the index alone cannot tell a transcription variant from a different woman.
