For “Married” 11 SEP 1930 of John Patrick Gunn & Grace Agnes Spencer

John Patrick Gunn | Marriage | 11/09/1930 | 1930/C/2043 | Grace Agnes Spencer

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

For “Married” 11 SEP 1930 of John Patrick Gunn & Grace Agnes Spencer

John Patrick Gunn | Marriage | 11/09/1930 | 1930/C/2043 | Spouse: Grace Agnes Spencer

Row from the Queensland historical marriage index, quoted in the index's own column order; retrieved 2026-08-30. Confirms the tree's existing 11 SEP 1930 to the day.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 39583 · Year 1940 Primary

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

For “Married” 12 JUN 1940 of Ferdinand Johann Brandenburg & Nellie Amelia Atkins

Name: Ferdinand Johann Brandenburg | Event: Marriage | Date: 12/06/1940 | Reference: 1940/B/39583 | Spouse: Nelly Amelia Flügge

QLD BDM marriage index detail page, precise date for the existing family startDate/MARR event. Bride's surname on this index row (Flügge) conflicts with her own death registration (father Joseph Atkins) and the tree's Nellie Amelia Atkins — not resolved here, left for a human; either a prior marriage or a transcription issue.

For “Married” 4 JUN 1857 of Joseph Platz & Therese Kohler

Queensland historical marriage index row, fields in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Registration number. Solemnised 4 JUN 1857, registered 1859 (the tree's inherited bare year). The husband cannot be Joseph Platz Jr (#46105, b.1870) since he was not yet born; he must be his father Joseph Platz Sr (#11268, b.1831 d.1889), whose own family #3484 (m. Friedricka Magdalena Clarius, 1869) is a later, second marriage. husbandId repointed from #46105 to #11268.

QLD BDM marriage index row, columns Name|Event|Date|Spouse|Reference. Searched surname Welk given Adam: this is the ONLY marriage registration found for Adam Welk (also re-checked with a surname-only search, 153 relevance rows read, no second hit for Welk). Predates Friedericka Welk's 19 Apr 1868 birth by about 9 months.

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

For “Married” 9 OCT 1937 of Colin James Hafemeister & Rita Lilian Viles

Name: Colin James Hafemeister known as Halfmaster | Event: Marriage | Date: 09/10/1937 | Reference: 1937/B/29406 | Spouse: Rita Lilian Viles

The direct proof: Colin James's OWN marriage registration records his alias as "Halfmaster" - the identical aka #45034 (the infant) was wrongly carrying before this split. Moved here where it belongs.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1903/C/1567 · Year 1903 Primary

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

The marriage itself occurred 31 Dec 1902 but was registered under the 1903 index reference; tree's bare '1903' is consistent, not contradicted.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1887/C/1434 Primary

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

For “Married” 1887 of Franz Rudolph Mützelburg & Bertha Hauschildt

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1913/C/622 · Year 1913 · Entry Bertie Ivo Bligh and Mary Lucy Corcoran Primary

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

For “Married” 31 JUL 1913 of Bertie Ivo Bligh & Mary Lucy Corcoran

Bertie Ivo Bligh | Marriage | 31/07/1913 | Spouse: Mary Lucy Corcoran | 1913/C/622

Registrar's date for the marriage of #50071 and #50070, refining the tree's bare 1913 on both the family row and the MARR event. Retrieved this session by searching surname Bligh with spouse Corcoran, which returns exactly one registration. Their eldest child Alice Beatrice Bligh is dated 1913 in the tree, so the July date is consistent. Queensland marriages publish to 1944, so this one is inside the window. The index gives no place; the event's existing place is left as it stands.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1879/C/227 · Year 1879 · Entry Richard John Blakeney Bligh and Kate O'Keeffe Primary

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

For “Married” 6 NOV 1879 of Richard John Blakney Bligh & Katherine Angela O'Keefe

Richard John Blakeney Bligh | Marriage | 06/11/1879 | Spouse: Kate O'Keeffe | 1879/C/227

Registrar's date for the marriage of #50077 and #50078, refining the tree's bare 1879 on both the family row and the MARR event. Retrieved this session by searching surname Bligh with spouse O'Keeffe; the reciprocal search on surname O'Keeffe returns the same single registration. The bride is indexed as Kate O'Keeffe, and appears as Catherine Angela and Kate Angeline O'Keeffe on her children's registrations - the tree's Katherine Angela O'Keefe. The index gives no place, so the event's existing place is left as it stands.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1944/B/59266 · Year 1944 Primary

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

For “Married” 22 APR 1944 of Robert Cummin Katter & Mabel Joan Horn

"Cummin Katter | Marriage | 22/04/1944 | Mabel Joan Horn | 1944/B/59266"

Queensland historical marriage index, searched 2026-08-28. The registry indexes him under the given name Cummin only; his own birth registration is 1918/B/53701 "Cummin Katter", father Carl Robert Katter, mother Vivian Bridget Warby, born 05/09/1918 - matching this tree record exactly (b. 5 SEP 1918, father Carl Robert Katter #52289, mother Bridget Warby #52290). The index registration is primary evidence of the legal marriage date and contradicts the tree's 1943.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1877/B/5461 · Year 1877 · Entry Andrew Lang Petrie and Margaret Aird Primary

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

For “Married” 4 JAN 1877 of Andrew Lang Petrie & Margaret Aird

Andrew Lang Petrie | Marriage | 04/01/1877 | Spouse: Margaret Aird | 1877/B/5461

Refines the tree's bare 1877 for the first marriage, to #55747 Margaret Aird. Found by searching surname Petrie with spouse Aird; it is the only Petrie-Aird marriage in the index. The Queensland Parliament register independently gives '(1) Margaret Aird on 4 January 1877', so register and registration agree to the day here - unlike the second marriage. The index gives no place; the event's existing place is left as it stands.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1886/B/10489 · Year 1886 · Entry Andrew Lang Petrie and Eliza Anne Agnes Luya Primary

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

For “Married” 14 APR 1886 of Andrew Lang Petrie & Eliza Anne Agnes Luya

Andrew Lang Petrie | Marriage | 14/04/1886 | Spouse: Eliza Anne Agnes Luya | 1886/B/10489

Registrar's date, confirming the tree's existing 14 APR 1886 against the Queensland Parliament register's 14 April 1887. Found by two routes; it is the only Petrie-Luya marriage in the index, and no 1887 registration exists for them. Nothing was changed; this citation exists so the register's year error is not applied later.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1880/C/713 · Year 1880 Primary

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

For “Married” 28 APR 1880 of Karl Chistian Julius Jocumsen & Hansiene Sorensen

Same QLD BDM registration already cited on family #18245 (citation #37611); added here so the MARR event itself carries its own provenance, matching the family's startDate.

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

Oliver Elias Heath | Marriage | 09/02/1927 | Eleanor Joyce Mellefont | 1927/B/271

Queensland historical BDM marriage index row (columns as displayed by genealogy-cli: name | event | date | spouse | reference). Confirms this 9 Feb 1927 marriage belongs to Eleanor Joyce Mellefont (b. 23 Jul 1901, #64409), not the infant Joyce L Mellefont (b. 1922, #64475) whom proposal #1131 correctly detached from a duplicate family shell (#20014) bearing this same date.
