Merl Helen Bidgood | Marriage | 18/04/1949 | spouse=Albert Paul Zenke
Corrects the tree's date for this marriage, previously 18 DEC 2003 (likely a keying slip - the day '18' survived, the month/year did not); the QLD BDM marriage index gives 18 APR 1949 for this exact spouse pairing. Also the discriminator that shows #67910 is not the same woman as Merle Vivian Bidgood #67907, who married Mervyn William O'Donnell in 1947 - review item 5643.
Lindenberg | Mary Ida Franziska | Marriage | 02/08/1905 | George James Porter | 1905/C/584
Queensland historical marriage index row: Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Registration reference. Confirms the marriage date already recorded on this family and identifies the bride as Ida Mary Francisca Lindenberg (#68790), not her sister.
Annie Catherine Barbara Joy | MARR | 08/12/1942 | 1942/C/5181 | Walter Henry Hague | surname: Joy | id: M900971138-1 | refid: 72c7a43c370448b27a4b7d6190a7ce1738c82780b571b6f1b2f860bd6a3250bf | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/72c7a43c370448b27a4b7d6190a7ce1738c82780b571b6f1b2f860bd6a3250bf
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), MARR search. Reading: marriage of Annie Catherine Barbara Joy to Walter Henry Hague on 8 DEC 1942. Identity: exact_date (record "08/12/1942" ↔ tree "8 DEC 1942 (marriage to Walter Henry Hague)"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Cited on the existing MARR event #123749.
Ellen Mary Darwen, Death, 07/03/1934, father Barnaby Robert Cornford, mother Amelia Jane Chaot, 1934/C/46
Only Ellen Mary Darwen in the Queensland death index. She is the woman who married John Darwen on 6 Sep 1899 (QLD marriage 1899/C/2393, bride Ellen Mary Cornford). She therefore cannot be the Ellen Cornford who died 9 Mar 1884 (#62774). Note the record names her father as Barnaby Robert Cornford, not the William Cornford this row is linked to - see the proposal note.
William Henry Bligh O'Connell | Marriage | 16/04/1888 | Spouse: Emily Amelia Rosalie Miske | 1888/C/74
Registrar's evidence for the date. The index records the bridegroom as William Henry Bligh O'Connell where the tree and Wikipedia have William Bligh Henry O'Connell; the two middle names are transposed, which is common in this index, and the bride's full and unusual name settles the identification. The same index gives their son Maurice Bligh O'Connell (1888/C/756) to a father of the identical name and this mother.
Name: Ernest Littleton Groom; Event: Death; Date: 08/09/1864; Father: William Henry Groom; Mother: Grace Littleton; Reference: 1864/C/126
Index transcription, hence quality 2. The death registration names the same parents as the 1863 birth registration and falls eleven months after it, so it is this child and not a namesake.
William Henry Groom | Marriage | 16/03/1859 | Grace Littleton | 1859/C/365
Transcription of the row returned by the Queensland historical marriage index for surname Groom (the only William Henry Groom marriage in the index). Primary index evidence for the exact date and for both parties' names, independent of Waterson.
Alida Maria Roelofs | Marriage | 18/11/1939 | George Arthur Schipplock | 1939/B/37214
Queensland historical marriage index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Reference. Queensland marriage rows carry no parents.

Queensland historical marriage index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Reference. He is registered here as "Jacob Hendrick" with a c. Queensland marriage rows carry no parents.

Queensland historical marriage index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Reference. Queensland marriage rows carry no parents.
George Barber | Marriage | 27/11/1923 | Mary Ann Toub | 1923/B/33504
Transcription of the row returned by the Queensland historical marriage index, found both by searching surname Toub and by searching surname Barber with spouse Toub; it is the only Barber/Toub marriage in the index. Primary index evidence for the date. The index does not print a place, so the Brisbane location rests on the parliamentary register cited beside this.
Marie Jacoba Roelofs | Marriage | 09/09/1916 | Anton Karel Smit | 1916/C/2466
Queensland historical marriage index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name, Event, Date, Spouse, Reference. Queensland marriage rows carry no parents. The registered forename here is "Marie Jacoba", matching the tree's spelling, while her 1970 death row reads "Maria Jacoba".
Jacobus Egbertus Roelofs | Death | 14/11/1959 | Jacobus Egbertus | Maria Catrina Sagel | 1959/B/35039
Same index row; supports the death date. Queensland death registrations are published from 30 years after the event, so this row is within the open window.
name: Douglas Vickery Hyde | event: Marriage | date: 26/01/1942 | reference: 1942/C/397 | spouse: Lillie Carrick
Queensland historical BDM index row (qld-bdm CLI, --surname Hyde --given Douglas --type marriages); fields quoted in the order the site's search API returns them: registrant name, record type, registration date, Year/Type/Number reference, other party.
Name: Albert Aitken Carrick | Event: Marriage | Date: 20/05/1908 | Reference: 1908/C/2032 | Spouse: Pearl de Sails Merritt
Columns as returned by the Queensland historical BDM marriage index search, retrieved this session (qld-bdm CLI). Exact match to family 32625's existing startDate.
Name: William PHilip Carrick | Event: Marriage | Date: 26/04/1918 | Reference: 1918/C/1182 | Spouse: Laura Coventry Burkitt Pocock
Columns as returned by the Queensland historical BDM marriage index search, retrieved this session (qld-bdm CLI). The mid-word capital in 'PHilip' is the index's own transcription, quoted as-is. Exact match to family 32624's existing startDate.
Name: Douglas Dunn Carrick | Event: Marriage | Date: 23/06/1928 | Reference: 1928/B/3878 | Spouse: Victoria Churchwood
Columns as returned by the Queensland historical BDM marriage index search (registrant name, event type, date, registration reference, spouse name), retrieved this session (qld-bdm CLI). Exact match to family 32623's existing startDate.
Name: Conrad Scholl | Event: Marriage | Date: 14/07/1909 | Reference: 1909/C/1454 | Spouse: Augusta Annie Baumann
Queensland historical BDM index, marriage search surname Scholl. This is the real 1909 marriage of Conrad Scholl and Augusta Annie Baumann (family #2933) - the same date wrongly recorded as an infant daughter's own marriage in family #3267.
Isaiah Titmarsh Marriage 03/10/1912 Gertrude Ethel Baines 1912/C/1716
Family 2930 previously had no marriage date and unionType 'unknown'; this registration evidences a formal marriage, so unionType is set to 'married'. Independently cross-confirmed on Gertrude's own austcemindex.com headstone (not re-cited here).
John Metcalfe | Birth | 23/08/1918 | John Metcalfe | Lillian Beatrice Carrick | 1918/C/11226
Index row in the search results' column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. The index gives no district, so the birth place is set to Queensland.
Augusta Bartholomai | Marriage | 01/12/1900 | Henry Frederick Runge | 1900/C/2123
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Reference. The groom is registered Henry Frederick Runge where the tree has Heinrich Frederick Gustav Runge — the anglicised form, consistent with the wife's existing "Augusta Runge" married-name row. This is the first evidence for a marriage the tree recorded only as unionType "unknown" with no date.
Name: Mary Louise Ruthenberg; Event: Marriage; Date: 22/01/1881; Reference: 1881/C/612; Spouse: Thomas Farrenden
Queensland historical BDM index, marriage record, columns Name/Event/Date/Reference/Spouse (Queensland marriage rows carry no parents and no place). Establishes the marriage of this family's mother (Maria Louisa Christina Ruthenberg, spelled 'Mary Louise' on the register) to Thomas Farrenden, twelve years before the child Violet's 1893 birth.
Name: James Edward McMullen | Event: Birth | Date: 09/07/1902 | Reference: 1902/C/1716 | Mother: Clara Jane McKenzie McMullen
No father column at all on this row (QLD birth rows omit the key entirely when blank). Mother's name matches family #19732's Clara Jane McKenzie exactly.
Ela Nora Elizabeth Dahler | Birth | 06/03/1901 | William Dahler | Paulina Christina Kachel | 1901/C/8598
Columns Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference. See proposal note re: a possible (unproven) identity with existing stray person Leonora Isabella Dahler #69157.
Name: John Hafemeister | Event: Marriage | Date: 26/06/1912 | Reference: 1912/C/1282 | Spouse: Edith Emily Groth
John Hafemeister is #45031 (tree spelling "Hafenmeister"), Minnie Hafemeister's brother - son of August Carl Friedrich Hafemeister x Alvina Thaurkauf per family 13538.
Name: Colin James Hafemeister | Event: Death | Date: 21/06/1976 | Reference: 1976/B/69861 | Father: John Hafemeister | Mother: Edith Emily Groth
Same two parents as his 1913 birth registration, independently, 63 years apart - settles his identity as one continuous man (same standard used in the McMullen split, proposal #1913).
Name: Leon James Hafemeister | Event: Death | Date: 16/01/1941 | Reference: 1941/B/50702 | Father: Colin James Halfmaster | Mother: Rita Lillian Viles
The clincher: the son's death index misspells the father's surname as "Halfmaster" - exactly the aka that was wrongly carried on #45034 before this split. Confirms Colin James (not the infant) is Leon's father and Rita Lilian Viles's husband.
Frances Alice Foggon | Death | 23/07/1934 | Matthew | Sarah Forsythe | 1934/B/24817
Queensland historical death index; the row names the same parents as her birth registration, which is what confirms she is the same person and had not married. She predeceased her father by eighteen months.
Harriet Willard Foggon | Death | 28/02/1960 | Matthew | Sarah Forsyth | 1960/C/1157
Queensland historical death index; the row names the same parents as her birth registration and she is still registered under the Foggon surname, so she did not marry.
Leafe, Thomas | Death | 31/07/1909 | 1909/C/634 | Father: - | Mother: -
Columns as returned by the Queensland historical BDM index (Deaths search, surname Leafe): Name | Event | Date | Reference | Father | Mother. Father and mother are both blank ("-") on the index, confirming no parents are named on this record. Re-checked 2026-09-17: no exact-surname Thomas Leafe birth or marriage registration found in the same QLD index (limit 100, births/marriages), so no candidate parent or spouse family in Queensland could be identified. All other Leafe branches already in the tree are New South Wales families; nothing ties this Queensland death to any of them.
Arthur Edward Raymond Hague, birth registered 16/06/1920, mother Elizabeth Hague
No father named on the registration. Not yet in the tree — new person, son of Elizabeth Hague (id 3570), born before her 1924 marriage to Michael Mangan.
