1883/C/3596: Hansina Jocumsen, died 07/05/1883, father Hans Henningsen. 1922/B/37690: death of Karl Christian Julius Jocumsen, mother given as Hansine Hannsen. 1949/B/20509: Hansine Jocumsen, died 29/01/1949, father Soren Petersen, mother Anna Johanna Rasmussen.
Three index rows bearing on this person, recorded together because they do not agree. 1883/C/3596 is most likely her mother-in-law and is the probable source of the impossible 1883 death this record carried: her husband's own death registration names his mother Hansine. 1949/B/20509 is the only other Hansine Jocumsen death indexed 1880-1996 and has been proposed as hers, but its parents match neither the tree's Hans Sorensen nor the 'Hansine (Hansen)' on her daughter Olivia's headstone. Quality 1 deliberately: this citation records the state of the evidence, not a conclusion. No date is asserted from it.
Erick Norman Jocumsen, born 27/03/1900, father Karl Kristian Julius Jocumsen, mother Hausine Sorensen, 1900/C/8896.
Hansiene Sorensen is named as the mother on a Queensland birth registration of 27 March 1900, so she cannot have died in 1883. Death date replaced with AFT 27 MAR 1900; her actual death is not established.
Carl Hans Jocumsen | Birth | 06/03/1913 | Soren Christian Jocumsen | Bridget Cooney | 1913/C/5182
Queensland historical birth index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Names both parents of Carl Hans Jocumsen #59687; they are family 18250, married 1910, so a birth in 1913 fits.
Carl Hans Jocumsen | Death | 17/01/1917 | Soren Christian Jocumsen | Bridget Cooney | 1917/C/441
Queensland historical death index, same columns. Independent of the birth registration and agreeing with it; the year matches this person's tree death year 1917. He died at not quite four years old.
Bridget Ryder | Death | 13/01/1945 | Michael Nagle | Catherine O'Donohue | 1945/C/965
Queensland historical death index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Retrieved 2026-08-29. Registered under her married surname Ryder; the date matches the death date already on her record.
Wilfred Charles Springall, Birth, 09/02/1898, Wilfred George Springall, Emma Gostlin, 1898/B/61731
Queensland historical index, births search. Columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Registration reference. His sister Eva Springall (b. 10/08/1899, 1899/B/64594) is registered to the same father with the mother given as Emma Gibson Gostelow.
John Boland Birth 05/08/1867 Edward Boland Christina Riordan 1879/O/406
QLD BDM birth index row. Columns: Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. "O" reference series = Late Registration (registered 1879 for a birth in 1867). The only birth registration in the index for a son John of Edward Boland and Christina Riordan.
John Riordon Boland Death 04/03/1956 Edward Boland Christina Boland 1956/C/597
QLD BDM death index row. Mother given under her married surname "Christina Boland" rather than maiden "Riordan" — same parents as the 1867 birth registration above, aged about 88 at death.
Name: Johanna Elizabeth Norton | Event: Birth | Date: 28/02/1902 | Reference: 1902/C/41 | Mother: Johanna Elizabeth Norton
Fuzzy name-tier match, but the date is identical to this child's own recorded death date (28 FEB 1902) and the mother's name is an exact match - consistent with an infant born and dying the same day. Fills the previously-null birth date. No BIRT event existed yet, so cited on the person. Father not printed (see general note on birth-index rows).
Carl Wilhem Grauf | Birth | 02/03/1877 | 1877/C/1832 | Carl Johann Grauf | Elizabeth Balzer
Queensland BDM birth index row; columns Name | Event | Date | Reference | Father | Mother. Father 'Carl Johann Grauf' = the patriarch Johann Karl Grauf recorded under his own given names inverted (also seen on siblings' rows); mother 'Elizabeth Balzer' = Elizabeth Bolzer already in the tree.
Susan McFarlane | Death | 28/03/1923 | reg 1923/C/2042 | father=Peter Williamson | mother=Susan Angus
Queensland historical BDM index, deaths search. Parents are Peter Williamson and Susan Angus (not William McFarlane/Susan Williamson), i.e. these are the deceased's OWN birth parents recorded at her death under her married surname - matching the given names of her son Peter Williamson McFarlane #62344. NB: daughter Susan McFarlane #62346 (b. 8 Aug 1884) already carries an uncited death date of 28 MAR 1923 in the tree, identical to this record; since this record's parents do not match #62346's own parents, this death almost certainly belongs to the mother and appears to have been misattributed to the daughter during GEDCOM import (both being 'Susan McFarlane'). Left #62346 untouched pending a dedicated look.
Ellen Cornford, Death, 09/03/1884, father William Cornford, mother Ellen Maloney, 1884/C/2626
This row's only real event. Its birth date of 9 Mar 1884 is an import artifact - the death date copied into the birth field; no birth was registered on that day. The infant daughter of William Cornford and Ellen Maloney.
Edith Juffs Death 22/07/1928 - Louisa Burt 1928/B/5195
QLD BDM death registration for her daughter, registered under the married surname Juffs (matching the tree's derived married name). Father column is "-". Mother named exactly as "Louisa Burt", matching the tree.
George Nunn | Birth | 30/10/1860 | David Nunn | Rachel Nunn | 1860/C/601
Queensland historical birth index, searched 2026-08-29. Columns in the order quoted: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Reference. Birth date matches person #62955 to the day. The certificate itself was not viewed.
Hornburg | Martha Anna | Death | 18/02/1881 | Christian Friedrich Hornburg | Caroline Wruck | 1881/C/1235
Not previously recorded in the tree. Martha Anna died aged 11 days. Confirms she is a distinct sibling from Martha Maria (d. 1 Aug 1880), not the same person.
August Friedrich Wilhelm Behm | Death | 19/10/1895 | August Behm | - Behm | 1895/C/3028
Queensland historical death index row, column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Names his father as August Behm (previously absent from the tree, added here) and his mother under surname Behm with no given name indexed -- consistent with this person's mother Anna Sophia Behm #63398. Death date and this registration are newly established; the death-index rows returned by this tool carry no district/place column for Queensland. Corroborated by 4 separate Queensland birth registrations 1885-1895 (1885/C/6698, 1887/C/7690, 1890/C/10049, 1895/C/9218) naming father 'August Behm' and mother 'Bertha Strassburg' (spelled variously Strapburg/Stassburg in the index) -- matching this family's wife Emilie Bertha Friederike Strassburg #63397 by her call-name Bertha and her distinctive surname.
William James Ferris | Birth | 23/10/1887 | Eugene Ferris | Elizabeth Kirby | 1887/C/740
QLD historical BDM birth-index row, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Parents match the tree's recorded parents (family #19650); date matches the tree's recorded birth date exactly.
Name: James Edward McMullin | Event: Birth | Date: 10/02/1862 | Reference: 1862/C/154 | Father: William McMullin | Mother: Naomi Freestone
The adult's own birth registration. Settles parentage: he is the son of William McMullin & Naomi Freestone, NOT of Clara Jane McKenzie (who was herself only born 1872, see her own citation).
Name: James Edward McMullen | Event: Death | Date: 09/05/1943 | Reference: 1943/C/2264 | Father: William McMullen | Mother: Naomi Freestone
The adult's TRUE death, age ~81. Same parents as his 1862 birth reg, independently, 81 years apart - confirms identity. The 1903 death previously attached to this person belonged to a different, unrelated infant (see new person created below).
Name: Clara Jane McKenzie | Event: Birth | Date: 18/01/1872 | Reference: 1872/C/3545 | Father: John William McKenzie | Mother: Mary Anne Sheringham
Her own birth registration; father matches tree's John William McKenzie. This date is what made the OLD link (her as mother of the 1886-marrying adult) chronologically impossible - she'd have been ~14.
Sydney Michael Henry Stritzke Birth 13/09/1897 Minnie Amanda Stritzke 1897/B/60986
QLD BDM historical birth index (NAME-tier / fuzzy match). No Father column returned (none recorded); columns quoted are Name / Event / Date / Mother / Reference. Mother matches tree's Mina Amanda Stritzke (indexed 'Minnie Amanda', a common diminutive). Given name spelt 'Sydney' here against the tree's 'Sidney' (which the death entry below also uses) - see companion aka name.
Leonhard Carl Ahrens | Birth | 18/03/1910 | Charles William Gustav Ahrens | Ellen Rose | 1910/B/22327
Queensland historical birth index row, quoted in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Retrieved 2026-08-29. "Ellen Rose" is the index rendering of Ellen Lose; the death row below gives Lose.
Leonard Ahren | Death | 08/09/1921 | Charles William Ahren | Ellen Lose | 1921/C/4505
Queensland historical death index row, same columns. Retrieved 2026-08-29. Surname clipped to "Ahren" in the index; the date matches the death date already on his record.
Martha Dreier Birth 05/09/1878 Johann Dreier Dorothea Haacks 1878/C/3272 | Martha Dreier Death 05/02/1879 Johann Dreier Dorothea Haack 1879/C/1221
QLD BDM historical birth and death indexes, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. Both name the same parents as this person's family. The tree held 5 FEB 1879 as her BIRTH date; that is the date of the death registration. Corrected: born 5 SEP 1878, died 5 FEB 1879.
Edward James Howard Death 11/08/1940 - Martha Howard 1940/C/2808
Columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. Father column reads '-'. Mother 'Martha Howard' matches this person's mother Martha Malvania Howard. Identified as the likely candidate because, among several same-named QLD death entries sampled (1966, 1989, 1992, 1995), this is the only one whose mother matches; the others name unrelated parents. Quality set to 2 (not 3) because identity rests on the mother-name match alone, with no corroborating exact date already in the tree.
John Crossman | Death | 28/12/1881 | William Crossman | Mary Elizabeth Hicks
Queensland historical death index; parents match William Crossman #64521 and Mary Elizabeth Hicks #64522, and the date matches the tree's 28 DEC 1881 exactly. Registered in the 1882 series.
Richard Crossman | Death | 17/03/1879 | William Crossman | Mary Elizabeth Hicks
Queensland historical death index; parents match William Crossman #64521 and Mary Elizabeth Hicks #64522, and the date matches the tree's 17 MAR 1879 exactly.
Sophie Catherine Schefe, Death, 26/09/1894, Remmers Freese, Felsche Castles, 1894/C/1196
Queensland historical index, deaths search. Columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Registration reference. Matches #64733's recorded death date of 26 SEP 1894 and confirms her maiden name Freese.
David Crombie, Death, 28/01/1871, father James Crombie, mother Isabella Cameron, 1871/C/1102
Died aged about 18 days, three years before his brother of the same given name (#65039, b.1874) — resolves review item 5612 as the tree's reused-infant-name pattern, not a duplicate.
Ena Dorris Stumm, Birth, 22/10/1896, father Jacob Stumm, mother Margaret Pride, 1896/C/5178
QLD BDM historical index row (columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Reference). The only QLD birth registration for an Ena Dorris Stumm to these parents; previously held only on duplicate stub #65094, now merged.
Ena Dorris Stumm, Death, 05/07/1924, father Jacob Stumm, mother Margaret Pride, 1924/C/2640
QLD BDM historical index row (columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Reference). The only QLD death registration for an Ena Dorris Stumm to these parents, already recorded on #65074.
Maria Catherine Andresen | Birth | 26/05/1874 | Andreas Broder Andresen | Henriette Wilhelmine Dorothea Deicke | 1874/C/54
QLD BDM birth index row. Names different parents than the family (#20330, Anton Andersen + Dorathea Sophie Henriette Reimer) the GEDCOM import had linked her to — that family's marriage (4 Mar 1876) postdates this birth by ~2 years. Re-pointed to the correct, already-existing but previously childless family #20328.
Hedwig Anna Emma Rosenow, born 27/04/1895, father Friedrich Johann Rosenow, mother Auguste Froschke, 1895/C/9188.
Name and both parents match Fredrick Johann Rosenow (#33473) and Augusta Froschke (#33474) exactly. The tree's "1985" is a transposition of 1895; it made her marry in 1914 and bear a daughter in 1916 seventy years before her own birth.
