For John Herbert Wildey (d. 1961)

John Herbert Wildey | Death | 27/12/1961 | 1962/C/527 | William | Mary Ann Porter

Queensland historical death index row, retrieved 2026-09-18 (independently re-verified by the skeptic reviewer); columns: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Same parents as #51578's birth registration above (family 15627), confirming these are two sons of William Wildey x Mary Ann Porter, not one person duplicated. Registered 1962 for a late-1961 death, matching the person row's death year.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1908/C/2766 · Year 1908 Primary

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

For Patrick Colwell (1891–1908)

Patrick Colwell | Death | 17/06/1908 | Philip Colwell | Catherine McCarthy | 1908/C/2766

Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Proves #51615 (tree: birth 1891, death 1908) is the son of Philip Colwell + Catherine McCarthy (family #18335, already correctly recorded elsewhere in the tree) — a different, much younger Patrick Colwell who died a bachelor aged about 17. He cannot be James Colwell's father and is removed from family #15642's husband slot here; his correct family #18335 link is untouched.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1906/C/9574 · Year 1906 Primary

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

For Thomas James Cecil Huddy (1906–1950)

Thomas James Cecil Huddy, Birth, 22/02/1906, father Thomas Ethersidge Huddy, mother Amanda Cornelia Olsen, 1906/C/9574

QLD BDM index row (spells the father "Ethersidge"; the tree has "Ethridge" from his own birth registration). Confirms Thomas James Cecil Huddy is son of Thomas Ethridge Huddy & Amanda Cornelia Olsen — a different man from Thomas Martin Huddy #4043, son of George Bourke Huddy & Agnes Patterson, born 27 Feb 1904.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1950/C/3048 · Year 1950 Primary

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

For Thomas James Cecil Huddy (1906–1950)

Thomas James Huddy, Death, 22/08/1950, father Thomas, mother Amanda Olgson, 1950/C/3048

QLD BDM index row for the death already on file; the index abbreviates the name and gives the mother as "Amanda Olgson" (Amanda Cornelia Olsen).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 13104 · Year 1913 Secondary

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

For Annie McDonald (d. 1949)

William Cross Temperley | Marriage | 15/03/1913 | Annie McDonald | 1913/B/13104

Queensland BDM historical index row, retrieved 2026-09-17; columns: name | event | date | spouse | registration number. Index entry only; certificate not viewed. The bride's name as registered. Whether McDonald is her maiden name or a former married name is not stated in the index.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1911/C/1220 · Year 1911 Primary

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

For Carl Robert Katter (d. 1964)

Name: Marjory Katter | Event: Birth | Date: 27/06/1911 | Reference: 1911/C/1220 | Father: Carlyle Assad Katter | Mother: Bridget Mary Warby

Evidence for the added aka name. His daughter's birth registration records him as 'Carlyle Assad Katter'. His own death registration gives his father as Assad Katter, which is why 'Assad' appears as his middle name here. Added as a variant only; the primary name 'Carl Robert' is untouched.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1931/B/14450 · Year 1931 Primary

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

For Eliza Maria Annie Blandford (1866–1931)

Eliza Maria Ann Young, Death, 30/06/1931. Reference 1931/B/14450. Father: William Blandford. Mother: Elizabeth Midwinter.

Queensland death index. Parents match William Blandford and Elizabeth Midwinter exactly (family 15867), and the married surname 'Young' matches her recorded husband Joseph Grieve Young. Supersedes the GEDCOM-imported deathDate '1866', which duplicated her birth year.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1864/C/236 · Year 1864 Secondary

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

For Jessey Crawford (b. 1867)

Jessie Ann Crawford, Death, 13/03/1864, father James Crawford, mother Janet Brock, 1864/C/236

The 1864 death that had been attached to Jessey #52404 belongs to an ELDER SISTER of the same name, Jessie Ann, who died three years before Jessey was born. The parents reused the name - a pattern this pass has now seen three times. Jessey's own death date is therefore cleared, not corrected.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1874/C/1581 · Year 1874 Secondary

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

For Francis Forsyth (1874–1875)

Francis Forsyth, Birth, 27/06/1874, father James Forsyth, mother Catherine McLeary, 1874/C/1581; Francis Forsyth, Death, 16/07/1875, father James Forsyth, mother Catherine McLeary, 1875/C/878

First Francis Forsyth: born 27 Jun 1874, died 16 Jul 1875 aged about one year. The name was reused for a younger brother born 27 Oct 1876 (#52421, cited in this same proposal). Not the same person as #52421.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1875/C/3576 · Year 1875 Secondary

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

For Henry Augustus Bassett (1875–1876)

"Henry Augustus Bassett | Birth | 30/08/1875 | reg 1875/C/3576 | father=Samuel Symonds Bassett | mother=Isabella Cameron"

Same index. Distinct from his elder brother Henry (#52582, reg 1873/C/3147).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1876/C/1460 · Year 1876 Secondary

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

For Henry Augustus Bassett (1875–1876)

"Henry Augustus Bassett | Death | 18/07/1876 | reg 1876/C/1460 | father=Samuel Symons Bassett | mother=Isabella Cameron"

Same index. Matches the tree's existing 1876 death year exactly; died as an infant.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1885/C/3192 · Year 1885 Primary

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

For Samuel Symons Bassett (1885–1885)

"Samuel Symons Bassett | Death | 07/07/1885 | reg 1885/C/3192 | father=Samuel Symons Bassett | mother=Isabella Cameron"

This child really existed and really died in 1885. Distinct from #52552, born 27/04/1887 to the same parents (1887/C/6452) and living until 1977 - the name was reused after the infant's death.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1875/B/18989 · Year 1875 Primary

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

For Harriet Charlotte Guy (1875–1875)

Harriet Charlotte Guy | Birth | 20/05/1875 | George Guy | Harriet Timmis

QLD historical birth index, CLI column order name | event | date | father | mother. Retrieved 2026-09-17. Refines the tree's year-only 1875 birth to the exact date; parents match family #13508 (mother's surname spelled 'Timmis' here vs the tree's 'Timms').

Same index, death row. Retrieved 2026-09-17. Refines the tree's year-only 1875 death to the exact date - about a month after her birth above.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1865/C/956 · Year 1865 Secondary

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

For George Haddow (1851–1865)

George Haddow, Death, 03/12/1865, father George Haddow, mother Christina Welch, 1865/C/956

This George Haddow (b.1851) died aged about 14 in Queensland; the death row names his parents as George Haddow and Christina Welch, matching this family. He is a distinct person from his elder brother George Blyth Haddow (#52765, b.1850), who married Alice Rayner in 1877, had four children through 1896, and died in 1931 -- a namesake who died young, not a duplicate.

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

For William Arthur Quaill (1913–1968)

William Arthur Quaill | Birth | 20/06/1913 | Regina Maud Quaill | 1913/B/32571

This family's pre-screen cache found NOTHING for Quaill (empty bdm array); a fresh exact-name CLI search recovered this record directly. Mother's exact full name 'Regina Maud Quaill' matches the tree exactly. Fills a previously null birth date, which syncs a new BIRT event on this person.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1904/C/3655 · Year 1904 Primary

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

For James Quaill (d. 1904)

"James Quaill | Death | 03/12/1903 | reg 1904/C/3655 | father=William Quaill | mother=Bridget Cunningham"

QLD BDM historical index (deaths); matches James Quaill Sr's recorded 1904 death year. Names his own parents (William Quaill/Bridget Cunningham), not yet added to the tree.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1889/C/10547 · Year 1889 Primary

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

For James Quaill (1889–1960)

"James Quaill | Birth | 01/01/1889 | reg 1889/C/10547 | father=James Quaill | mother=Christena Miller"

QLD BDM historical index (births). Distinct from James Freer Kay Quaill #52855 (reg 1891/C/8449, different parents) — settles review item 5351 as a false positive.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1946/C/2859 · Year 1946 Primary

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

For Maurice Henry Quaill (d. 1946)

"Maurice Henry Quaill | Death | 23/07/1946 | reg 1946/C/2859 | father=William | mother=Marie Sophia Cunningham"

QLD BDM historical index (deaths). Names his own parents (William Quaill/Marie Sophia Cunningham), not yet added to the tree — possibly the same William Quaill/Cunningham couple as James Quaill Sr's parents (see proposal note), unconfirmed.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1937/C/1934 · Year 1937 Primary

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

For Agnes Moir Kay (d. 1937)

"Agnes Moir Quaill | Death | 30/03/1937 | reg 1937/C/1934 | father=Edward Kay | mother=Emily Hamilton"

QLD BDM historical index (deaths). Names her own parents (Edward Kay/Emily Hamilton), not yet added to the tree.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1891/C/8449 · Year 1891 Primary

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

"James Freer Kay Quaill | Birth | 12/06/1891 | reg 1891/C/8449 | father=Maurice Quaill | mother=Agnes Morekay"

QLD BDM historical index (births). 'Morekay' in the index is a transcription of 'Moir Kay'. Distinct from James Quaill #52850 (reg 1889/C/10547, different parents) — settles review item 5351 as a false positive.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1887/C/7913 · Year 1887 Primary

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

For Hermann Beutel (1887–1959)

Hermann Beutel | Birth | 14/09/1887 | reg 1887/C/7913 | father=Wilhelm Friedrick Beutel | mother=Auguste Hopner

Matches this row's parents (family 16041). Distinct from Herman Adolf Beutel #14343 (parents Christian Friedrich Beutel & Marie Auguste Emilie Wendt, family 4525) - review item 4646.

QLD BDM birth index row; matches tree family #16152 (August Ludwig Edward Kaddatz × Johanna Marie Wescke, m. 1895).

QLD BDM death index row; died the same year he was born, aged about 7 weeks.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1876/C/5131 · Year 1876 Secondary

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

For Carl Frederick Kleier (1876–1877)

Carl Friedrich Klninr | Birth | 13/07/1876 | William Karl Ferdinand Klninr | Caroline Friederike Vorpagel | 1876/C/5131

Queensland historical birth index; re-verified live this session. Surname heavily OCR-garbled ("Klninr" for Kleier) on both father and child, hence quality 2. Father again indexed name-order-reversed; mother's surname rendered "Vorpagel" here vs "Pagel" elsewhere for the same woman. Identifies this tree's Carl Frederick Kleier (d.1877), who currently has no birth date.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1880/C/6362 · Year 1880 Primary

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

For Paul August Carl Kleier (1880–1961)

Paul August Carl Kleier | Birth | 20/02/1880 | Carl Kleier | Lena Pregel | 1880/C/6362

Queensland historical birth index; re-verified live this session. Mother's surname is an OCR variant of Pagel. Refines this tree's bare-year 1880 birth date to an exact day; born before his father's 6 Dec 1880 death, so unaffected by the identity question raised for Ida.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1928/B/4193 · Year 1928 Primary

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

For Alice Ann Brown (d. 1962)

Alice Ann Gibbs | Death | 01/06/1962 | Edward Brown | Margaret Boden | 1962/C/2762

Death registration under her second husband's surname (Gibbs) naming her parents as Brown - matching her maiden name and confirming she, not her daughter of the same name, is the 1920 Gibbs bride.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1875/B/9281 · Year 1875 Secondary

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

For Eveline Jane Hexton (d. 1875)

Eveline Jane Hexton, Death, 15/04/1875, father James Hexton, mother Ellen Casey, 1875/B/9281

Queensland historical BDM index, death registration. Confirms the death year (1875) already on file, with an exact date (15 April). Since her mother Ellen Casey (Hexton) is separately confirmed dead 25 Jul 1874 (QLD BDM death index 1874/B/8665, father William Kasey - matching the tree's own record of Ellen Casey's father), Eveline's birth cannot be 1875 as currently recorded; her true birth must fall on or before her mother's death, most likely 1873-1874. A same-name/same-parents 'birth' entry dated 25 Jun 1875 (ref 1875/B/18786) also surfaced but postdates both the mother's death and this child's own death, so it cannot be her actual birth - left unexplained (possibly a second reused-name infant or a misfiled entry) for a human to chase separately.

For Rudolph Ritter (d. 1958)

Name: Rudolph Ritter | Event: Death | Date: 24/08/1958 | Reference: 1958/C/4005 | Father: Wilhelm | Mother: Wilhelmine Holgareif

Queensland historical BDM index death entry. Father 'Wilhelm' and mother 'Wilhelmine Holgareif' match this person's parents Wilhelm Ritter (1837-1913) and Dorothea Wilhelmine Holzgrafe in family 14363. The imported record had entered this death year (1958) as the person's BIRTH year, producing both the posthumous_birth (item 752) and marriage_chronology (item 904) errors. No birth record was found, so birthDate is cleared rather than guessed at.

For Mary Maag (1873–1876)

Mary Maag Death 14/04/1876 Henry Maag Verona Steineger 1876/C/546

QLD BDM historical death index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. Confirms Mary died in infancy, parents matching this family (Heinrich Maag/Verena Steinegger, spelling variants). No other Mary Maag exists among the couple's children, so family 21447 (husband slot empty, no children) has nothing genuine to hold and is a spurious import artefact.

Name: Ferdinand August Kajewski | Event: Death | Date: 13/08/1954 | Reference: 1954/C/4183 | Father: Carl | Mother: Julianna Gurrofske

QLD BDM death index row for Ferdinand Kajewski #56987, Carl's brother in family #10037; a third spelling of the same mother's maiden name (Gerofski/Gurowski/Gurrofske), corroborating the family and the identification of #40039.

For William Alfred Leonard Chellingworth (d. 1907)

William Alfred Leonard Chellingworth · Death · 28/09/1907 · 1907/C/1988 · Evan Chellingworth · Elizabeth Court

QLD BDM death index row (fields: Name, Event, Date, Reference, Father, Mother) names this child's parents as Evan Chellingworth and Elizabeth Court — family #17368, not #17367 where he was wrongly linked. His brother Frank Robert Evan Chellingworth (#57127, QLD BDM 1907/C/1987) and their mother Elizabeth Court herself (QLD BDM 1907/C/1986) all died the same day, 28/09/1907 — a single-day household loss, consistent with family #17368.
