Distinct from William Gustave Peters #8378 and William Henry Peters #1217 below, whose own birth registrations name different fathers.

Index row fields in order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Own birth registration for George John Henry Peters; matches the birth date already on file exactly, and the parents match family 334 (Johann Nicolaus Heinrich Peters x Anna Maria Wilhelmina Wieck).
George John Henry Peters | Death | 22/09/1919 | 1919/B/30421 | Father: Johann Nicolaus Henrich Peters | Mother: Anna Maria Wilhelmina Wieck
Index row fields in order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Own death registration, refining the year-only death date on file (1919) to the exact registered date and confirming he is distinct from his cousin George Norman Peters #18695 (different parents, died 1974 not 1919).
William Henry Peters | Birth | 12/02/1901 | 1901/C/2823 | Emil Claudius Johannes Peters | Anna Lousia Frederica Epple
Queensland historical BDM index row, field order: name | event | date | reference | father | mother. Confirms #1217's parents match the tree (Claudius Emil Johannes Peters x Anna Louisa Fredericka Epple) and his exact birth date already held - distinct from #1115 and #8378.
Cyril Tuckett Baines Birth 22/12/1897 Robert Ebenezer Baines Frances Tuckett 1898/C/5520 | Gertrude Baines Birth 29/10/1890 Eric Robert Baines Frances Tuckett 1890/C/6714
Two of his children's birth registrations quoted verbatim, pipe-separated: son Cyril's (1898/C/5520) names the father 'Robert Ebenezer Baines'; daughter Gertrude's (1890/C/6714, also on Adelaide's above) names him 'Eric Robert Baines'. Evidences both aka name rows above.
"Wilhelm August Berderow | Birth | 19/11/1888 | reg 1888/C/6568 | father=Wilhelm Johann Berderow | mother=Anna Maria Elizabeth Lorengel"
Queensland historical BDM index row (columns: Name | Event | Date | Registration | Father | Mother). Matches this person's recorded birth date exactly. Parents match #1754/#4907. Distinct from #1755 (Wilhelm Johann Berderow), reportedly born 1887 and died at sea in 1888 before this registration - no QLD birth/death record exists for #1755, consistent with an overseas birth and a death outside Queensland's jurisdiction.
Eliza Brown, Birth, 01/04/1865, father John Brown, mother Sarah Ann Manning, 1865/C/842; Death, 19/02/1866, same parents, 1866/C/546
Younger sister, died aged 10 months. Two separate birth registrations to the same parents - Elizabeth (1863) and Eliza (1865) are two daughters, not one.
Elizabeth Thornton, Death, 12/09/1931, father John Brown, mother Sarah Ann Manning, 1931/B/15198
Confirms the tree's existing death date 12 SEP 1931 exactly; parents match her own existing birth citation (father John Brown, mother Sarah Anne Manning, 1863/C/744, citation #37667) exactly.
Ellen Brown, Birth, 16/09/1873, father John Brown, mother Elizabeth Beckett, 1873/C/3771
Index row (columns: name, event, date, reference, father, mother). Confirms the tree's existing birth date 16 SEP 1873 and both parents exactly. Distinguishes this Ellen Brown from Ellen Brown #1972 (English family) and Ellen Caven Brown #1977 (Victorian family), both flagged as possible duplicates by the review queue.
Ellen Brown, Death, 09/12/1948, father John, mother Elizabeth Beckett, 1948/B/19953
Index row. Confirms the tree's existing death date 9 DEC 1948 and both parents exactly. The tree's DEAT event summary previously read '1948/C19953' -- the index's actual reference is 1948/B/19953 (B not C); corrected by the event.update in this proposal.
James Brown, Death, 15/11/1937, father James, mother Margaret Skully, 1937/C/4222
Index row. Confirms the tree's existing death date 15 NOV 1937 exactly; parents James Brown and Margaret Skully match the tree's James Brown x Margaret Scully (familyId 789, 'Skully' a plausible index misreading of 'Scully'). Distinguishes James Brown #1999 from James Leitch Brown #2002, flagged as a possible duplicate.
James Leach Brown, Death, 22/03/1912, father Thomas Brown, mother Ellen Leach, 1912/C/4349
Index row. Confirms the tree's existing death date 22 MAR 1912 exactly. Father 'Thomas Brown' matches the tree's Thomas Brown #2051 exactly; mother 'Ellen Leach' is a plausible index transcription of Helen Leitch #4789 (the tree's recorded mother) -- the same row also transcribes the deceased's own recorded middle name 'Leitch' as 'Leach' ('James Leach Brown'), showing the identical substitution happening twice in one entry. Distinguishes James Leitch Brown #2002 from James Brown #1999, flagged as a possible duplicate.
John Brown, Death, 12/04/1906, father John Brown, mother Elizabeth Brown, 1906/C/1950
The Ipswich John Brown, son of John Alfred Brown and Elizabeth Willmott, husband of Sarah Ann Manning. Distinct from #2011 (below) and from his Dorset brothers #2018, #2019.
Heinrich Althaus | Death | 28/08/1950 | 1950/C/3279 | Hermann | Anna Gertrude Busch
Queensland historical BDM index death row, field order: name | event | date | reference | father | mother. Confirms Anna Gertrude Busch as Heinrich Althaus's mother; at his 1856 birth she would have been ~71 if born 9 Jan 1785 as currently recorded - the maternal link stands, the birth date does not.
Catherine Kreis | Death | 01/08/1959 | 1959/B/33269 | Hermann Althaus | Catharina Busch
Confirms Catharina Busch as mother of Cathrina (Catherine) Kreis nee Althaus, born 1863 - she would have been ~78 if born 1785. Same conclusion: the mother-child link is correct, only the birth date is wrong.
Elizabeth Denman | Death | 03/07/1974 | William Devantier | Emily Brown | 1974/C/4878
No value change β citation upgrade only; matches tree's existing exact death date. Parents exact 'William Devantier' + 'Emily Brown'; married surname Denman matches the 1905 marriage record.
William Devantier | Death | 15/01/1955 | William | Augusta Neindom | 1955/C/538
No value change β evidences the already-recorded parent link (family 14121) with his own death registration; father's given name 'William' matches #46821's recorded 'Wilhelm'. Mother's name spelled 'Augusta Neindom' here vs tree's 'Auguste Christine Neuendorf' β added as an aka name variant on #46822.
Carl Frederick Dieckmann, Death, 20/08/1933, father Charles, mother Emilie Doring, 1933/C/2920
Mother Doring - matches the parents on this row. His son John Friedrich's death (1935/C/354) names Carl Frederick and Fridericka Schmidt, confirming the family.
Irskine Dieckmann | Birth | 27/07/1906 | Carl Friedrich Dieckmann | Auguste Louise Fritz | 1906/C/4639
Queensland historical index, birth search on surname Dieckmann / given Irskine, retrieved 2026-08-29. Columns: name | event | date | father | mother | registration number. The only Irskine Dieckmann birth in the index; it names the father as Carl Friedrich Dieckmann, not as a separate Charles. Restored from failed proposal #471.
William Dieckmann | Birth | 26/09/1868 | Charles Dieckmann | Augusta Dieckmann | 1868/C/1467
Queensland historical index, birth search on surname Dieckmann given William, retrieved 2026-09-17. Columns: name | event | date | father | mother | registration number. Confirms this William is the son of Carl Friedrich "Charles" Dieckmann and Auguste Dieckmann (family 5743), matching the parent link inherited from merged alias #12884.
William Dieckmann | Death | 04/05/1936 | Charles | Augusta Dieckmann | 1936/B/31424
Queensland historical index, death search on surname Dieckmann given William, retrieved 2026-09-17. Columns: name | event | date | father | mother | registration number. Same parents as the 1868 birth row, confirming one man; establishes the 1936 death date now recorded on the merged person.
Name: James Dodds | Event: Death | Date: 17/11/1885 | Reference: 1885/C/4482 | Father: William Dodds | Mother: Eliza Case
Queensland BDM death index. Confirms this person is the infant son of William Dodds & Eliza Case who died 17 Nov 1885 (matches existing DEAT date) - i.e. he cannot be the James Dodds who married Bessie Brown Stalker and fathered a daughter born 1918.
Thomas Martin Huddy, Birth, 27/02/1904, father George Bourke Huddy, mother Agnes Patterson, 1904/C/2034
QLD BDM index row. Confirms Thomas Martin Huddy is son of George Bourke Huddy & Agnes Patterson β a different man from Thomas James Cecil Huddy #51661, son of Thomas Ethridge Huddy & Amanda Cornelia Olsen, born 1906 (review item 4309, dismissed as false positive).
Florence Martha Hunt, Birth, 20/10/1865, father Joseph Hunt, mother Helen Bourne, 1865/C/493
QLD BDM index row. Confirms Florence Martha Hunt is daughter of Joseph (Searles) Hunt & Helen (Maria) Bourne, born Toowoomba β a different woman from Florence Sarah Hunt #59311, daughter of Joseph Hedding Hunt & Sarah Clark Simpson, born 1863 Balmain NSW and died there 21 Aug 1882 (review item 4310, dismissed as false positive).
Elizabeth Mary Imhoff, born 21/04/1867, father Phillip Imhoff, mother Caroline Zeyher, 1867/C/563.
Same day and month as the tree, two years later. Both parents match Phillip Imhoff (#4230) and Caroline Friedericka Zeyher (#8270). Her brother Phillip Henry is registered 11/06/1865 to the same couple (1865/C/370), and a third, John David, 12/06/1863 (1863/C/245), so the 50-day sibling gap the queue flagged was her wrong birth year, not a wrong child link.
