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

For Bernard Platell (1886–1976)

Bernard Platell | Birth | 14/04/1886 | 1886/C/5193 | father: Clause Platell | mother: Mary Burhip

QLD BDM birth index row for Bernard's already-recorded birth date; no BIRT event row exists on this person yet, so cited on the person directly.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1868/B/9164 · Year 1868 Primary

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

For Johann William Platell (1868–1952)

Johann William Platell | Birth | 15/11/1868 | 1868/B/9164 | father: Claus Platell | mother: Marie Boriop

QLD BDM birth index row for Johann William's already-recorded birth date; no BIRT event row exists on this person yet, so cited on the person directly. (Skeptic fix: original draft's raw had dropped the given name 'Johann' — corrected to match the index row verbatim.)

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1883/C/4321 · Year 1883 Primary

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

For Alfred Platell (1883–1946)

Alfred Platell | Birth | 13/10/1883 | 1883/C/4321 | father: Claus Platell | mother: Maria Burhoprn

QLD BDM birth index row for Alfred's already-recorded birth date; no BIRT event row exists on this person yet, so cited on the person directly.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1946/B/9742 · Year 1946 Primary

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

For Alfred Platell (1883–1946)

Alfred Platell | Death | 18/12/1946 | 1946/B/9742 | father: Claus | mother: Maria Burhoprn

QLD BDM death index; added by the skeptic pass — the original draft said this was unknown, but the row is on the same index page as his birth citation, and the 'Burhoprn' misspelling matches his own birth row exactly, confirming identity.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1969/B/11109 · Year 1969 Primary

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

For Catherine Mary Parker (d. 1969)

Catherine Platell | Death | 19/12/1969 | 1969/B/11109 | father: Robert John Parker | mother: Mary Corcoran

QLD BDM death index; names both parents, previously unrecorded, and supplies her previously-null death date.

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

For Florence Maud Balmer (d. 1948)

Florence Maud Platell | Death | 23/07/1948 | 1948/B/17877 | father: George Balmer | mother: Dorothy Ann Howling

QLD BDM death index; names her actual parents, confirming Balmer as her true maiden name (the marriage register's 'Hamilton' was a different surname she was known by at the time of marriage) and supplying her previously-null death date.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1939/C/3347 · Year 1939 Primary

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

For Mary Gill (d. 1939)

Mary Gill | Death | 26/07/1939 | 1939/C/3347

Also known as Mary Gill Loftus (on Clarence's birth record). No marriage record found linking her to William Henry Reimers — relationship left unformalised/unmarried pending further evidence.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1915/C/9659 · Year 1915 Primary

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

For Clarence Eric Reimers (1915–1922)

Clarence Eric Reimers | Birth | 30/06/1915 | 1915/C/9659

This William Henry Reimers is a separate, unconnected person from the William Henry Reimers already in the tree (m. Maria Theresa Kuhl, 1900) — no marriage record found for Mary Gill, so left as a distinct entry per instruction not to guess.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1907/C/189 · Year 1907 Primary

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

For August Engler (d. 1907)

August Engler | Death | 29/04/1907 | 1907/C/189

Mother's surname illegible/not given on the index ('Annie -'). A separate, unconnected Engler line — no other link to the main Karl Friedrich Willy Engler branch found.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1898/C/3637 · Year 1898 Primary

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

For Conrad Siemon (d. 1898)

Conrad Siemon | Death | 04/08/1898 | 1898/C/3637

This is the genuine son of Heinrich Siemon and Martha Elizabeth Schenke who died in 1898. His identity and death date had been wrongly merged onto Conrad Henry Siemon (#42808, husband of Catharina Emilie Wagner) — recreating him here as a separate person so his parents keep a real child, and freeing #42808 to be corrected.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1976/C/4734 · Year 1976 Primary

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

For Edna Alice Siemon (d. 1976)

Edna Alice Siemon | Death | 27/07/1976 | 1976/C/4734

New sibling for the existing George Frederick Siemon x Anna Elizabeth Sophia Jackson family (already has six other children in the tree).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1964/B/68372 · Year 1964 Primary

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

For Henry Spohr (d. 1964)

Henry Spohr | Death | 07/09/1964 | 1964/B/68372

A separate, unconnected Spohr line — different parents from the main Werner Louis Spohr branch (this Henry's father is John William Spohr, not Werner Louis).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1882/M/1911 · Year 1882 Primary

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

For Friederick Julius Lukritz (d. 1882)

Friederick Julius Lukritz | Death | 01/06/1882 | 1882/M/1911

Previously undocumented child of August Lukritz & Wilhelmine Henriette Potter (recorded here as 'Wilhelmine Melchor' — her father's name Carl Melchior Potter, per her own death record, being used as a shorthand surname on these index entries).
