Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index 1993//57707 Primary

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

For William Foley & Mary Murphy

Death registration: Agnes Christina Stallman, 10/10/1993, mother Mary Murphy, father William Foley.

Same QLD BDM death registration already cited on Agnes herself (citation 56409); repeated here as the evidence for the parent-child link now that the parents have their own person rows.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1873/C/768 · Year 1873 Primary

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

For Georg Henrich Van Krog & Catherine Aji Tanzer

Aji Catherine Tanzer, Marriage, 15/12/1873, spouse Georg Henrich Van Krog, 1873/C/768

Confirms Catherine Aji Tanzer #18653 (b.1853, one of the four children in family #5759) reached adulthood and married about 9 months before her recorded 1874 death. Her distinctive given name ("Aji") makes this an unambiguous match. Re-fetched 2026-09-17, verbatim match.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1915/C/1398 · Year 1915 Primary

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

For Julius Eduard Kitzelmann & Mary Elizabeth Hagemann

Julius Edward Kitzelmann | Marriage | 12/05/1915 | 1915/C/1398 | Maria Elizabeth Hagemann

QLD BDM marriage index row (columns: name / event / date / reference / spouse); re-verified independently via genealogy-cli 2026-09-17. This is the same marriage already cited on the groom #25027 (citation 37687, from proposal #137); this citation records it on the family itself, which did not exist until now - proposal #137 deleted family 7625, a duplicate that had wrongly carried this exact marriage with husband #25027 and NO wife (it belonged, in duplicate, to his father's family 2826).

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1869/B/2793 · Year 1869 Primary

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

For Johann Nicklaus Tanzer & Ernestine Wilhelmine Louise Boll

Johann Nicolaus Tanzer, Marriage, 17/10/1869, spouse Ernestine Wilhelmine Louise Boll late Fester, 1869/B/2793

"late Fester" shows Ernestine was previously married to (and presumably widowed from) a man named Fester, not researched here. Presumed this John Nicklaus Tanzer's second marriage - see identity note on his death citation above. Re-fetched 2026-09-17, verbatim match.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1917/C/2398 · Year 1917 Secondary

Queensland historical marriage index row (columns: name | event | date | spouse | registration no.). Marriage index rows do not name parents, so this establishes the couple but not Margaret's own parentage. Re-verified verbatim via genealogy-cli 2026-09-17.

Ernestine Emilie Buhse | Death | 20/08/1886 | Wilhelm Schafer | Luise Lange | 1886/C/3163

Queensland BDM death index row (columns: name, event, date, father, mother, registration): same date as the tree death (20 Aug 1886) and both parents match #11864 Wilhelm Schafer and #11865 Luise Lange, so this is #252 under her married surname.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1973/C/4661 · Year 1973 Primary

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

For Theresa Mary Schultz (1907–1973)

"Theresa Mary | Buhse | Death | 17/08/1973 | August Schultz | Anna Louisa Gorsch | 1973/C/4661"

Index row field values in the index's own column order: given names, family name, record type, date of event, father, mother, registration number. Retrieved 2026-08-29 via the familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au search API. Names her parents, which is what identifies her as Theresa Mary Schultz, and dates her death a year later than the tree had it.

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

Stanley Summerville | Death | 19/05/1896 | Robert Summerville | Agnes Woolett | 1896/C/3239

Death registration (date matches the tree's existing death date) naming the same parents as the birth registration - proving he is not a child of William Henry Summerville & Annie Agnes Herbert.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1912/B/16123 · Year 1912 Primary

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

For Sarah Isabella Lovell (1877–1912)

Sarah Isabella Barrett, Death, 21/07/1912, 1912/B/16123, William Lovell, Isabella Summerville

Queensland historical BDM death index row for Sarah Isabella Barrett (nee Lovell), columns as returned: Name, Event, Date, Registration reference, Father, Mother. Parents William Lovell and Isabella Summerville match the tree's Sarah Isabella Lovell (#557) exactly. This corrects the tree's death date of 10 JUL 1912, which the posthumous_birth detector correctly flagged as preceding her son Ponsonby's registered birth (16 JUL 1912, reg 1912/B/29427); the true death date of 21 JUL 1912 is five days AFTER the birth, consistent with maternal death from childbirth complications, and resolves the contradiction.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1879/C/2343 · Year 1879 Secondary

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

For Christian Frederick Wilhelm Spann (1879–1927)

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1927/B/325 · Year 1927 Primary

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

For Robert Thompson Summerville (1855–1926)

Robert Summerville | Death | 24/12/1926 | Samuel Summerville | Elizabeth Thompson | 1927/B/325

Hard discriminator identifying #633 as this "Robert Summerville": exact death date (24 Dec 1926) and parents (Samuel Summerville & Elizabeth Thompson) match #633's existing record precisely.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1887/C/2326 · Year 1887 Primary

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

For Christopher White (1887–1968)

Christoph White | Birth | 07/06/1887 | 1887/C/2326 | Edward Joseph White | Christiana Catherine Miller

Queensland historical birth index row, retrieved 2026-09-18 (independently re-verified by the skeptic reviewer); columns in the index's own order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Matches person #763's recorded birth date (7 JUN 1887) and parents (family 215) exactly. Only one such registration exists in the index, confirming #8064 'Christoph White' (same parents, birth year 1887, no other data) is a duplicate GEDCOM entry for this same child, not a second son.

Queensland historical birth, death and marriage index Registration No 1927/C/4599 · Year 1927 Secondary
