Free official index. Death rows name BOTH parents, which is what makes it the key to an emigrant's parentage in the country they left. Certificates are purchased separately and were not viewed.
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm) DEAT index row, reference 1910/C/1209, found while researching #26133 (the row is not about that person). Identity: recognised as existing person #4543 (William Krause) by exact date 18/08/1910 (tree 18 AUG 1910) (decisive match, exact_date). Supports the deathDate the tree already holds (18 AUG 1910). Built from the row's structured fields by code; the quote is the verbatim row.
Charles Kreis | Birth | 12/03/1896 | Johann Heinrich Casar Kreis | Annie Strofeld | 1896/C/8545
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Confirms the birth date already on file and the parents (family 1836), distinguishing him from Charles Edward Kreis #4552 (different father: Johannes Kreis).
Charles Kreis | Death | 16/11/1896 | Johann Heinrich Casar Kreis | Annie Strofeld | 1896/C/3307
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Confirms the death date already on file - an infant who lived just over 8 months.
Norman William Berderow | Birth | 24/11/1913 | Wilhelm August Berderow | Amelia Anna Katherina Kreis | 1913/C/7348
Her son's birth registration, naming her as Amelia Anna Katherina Kreis — one of the two forms welded into the garbled name row removed by this proposal.
Ester Amelia Berderow | Birth | 03/04/1912 | Wilhelm August Berderow | Amelia Annie Catherine Kneis | 1912/C/6119
Her daughter Ester Amelia's birth registration, naming her as Amelia Annie Catherine — the second form welded into the garbled row. The surname is registered "Kneis", a slip for Kreis, so only the given-name form is taken as the variant.
Friedrich Charles Kreis | Birth | 31/08/1892 | Johannes Kreis | Auguste Wilhelmine Stumer | 1892/C/9797
His own birth registration, on the date already recorded for him, naming both parents. It spells him Friedrich rather than Frederick — the attested variant added here as an aka.
Norman Fred Kreis | Birth | 03/06/1903 | Conrad Kreis | Cathrina Althause | 1903/C/7697
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Confirms the birth date already on file and the parents (family 461), distinguishing him from Norman Victor Kreis #4598 (different father: Edward Henry Kreis).
Norman Victor Kries | Birth | 23/09/1904 | Edward Henry Kries | Cecilia Brayshaw | 1904/C/9147
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Confirms the birth date already on file and the parents (family 738), distinguishing him from Norman Fred Kreis #4597 (different father: Conrad Kreis). The registration spells the surname 'Kries' throughout this row, hence the companion name.create.
Norman Victor Kreis | Death | 07/08/1974 | Edward Henry Kreis | Cecelia Brayshaw | 1974/C/5431
Index row in column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Fills the previously bare death year (1974) with the exact date; parents match family 738 (spelled 'Kreis' on this row, unlike the birth registration).
Anna Elizabeth Kruger | Birth | 02/09/1867 | Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Kruger | Anna Elizabeth Grambauer | 1867/C/1491
Matches the tree's birth date (2 Sep 1867) and father exactly; the index gives the mother's given name as 'Anna Elizabeth' where the tree has 'Johanne Elizabeth' Grambauer - both share 'Elizabeth', left unchanged as a minor index/GEDCOM discrepancy, not a contradiction worth overwriting.
Alfred Lack | Birth | 05/08/1907 | George Lack | Emilie Martha Schlierike | 1907/C/2735
Queensland historical birth index, searched 2026-08-29. Columns in the order quoted: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother, Reference. The father and mother named are persons #4696 and #6706, the couple of family #1873. The certificate itself was not viewed.
"James Henry Law | Death | 01/08/1959 | reg 1959/C/4136 | father=James Welsley | mother=Annie Cecelia Pohlman"
Father's name is garbled in this index row ("James Welsley"); mother's name and the exact death date (already on file) match, and no other James Henry Law death is registered that date - same man.
Little | James Johnston | Death | 30/09/1931 | 1931 | B | 15400 | Robert Little | Margaret Little
Same row cited on the person for parentage. 'Robert Little' supports the tree's father Bert Little #42015 (Bert is a diminutive of Robert); consider whether that stub should be renamed Robert. The mother is entered 'Margaret Little' — her married surname, not a maiden name — so the row neither confirms nor contradicts the tree's Margaret Johnston #42014; the deceased's own middle name Johnston is the tree's separate support for that. No change proposed to either parent.
Little | James Johnston | Death | 28/03/1900 | 1900 | C | 3285 | James Johnston Little | Alice Tucket
Queensland historical BDM index, one death search-result row; columns as on the birth citation. The mother's name is printed 'Alice Tucket' (one t) in the index — quoted as it stands; she is Alice Tuckett #7731. Contradicts the tree's uncited death date 21 MAR 1900 by seven days.
Ernst Wilhelm Berderow | Marriage | 21/01/1926 | Louise Pauline Maas | 1926/B/39000
Evidence for the Louise Pauline spelling added as a variant here. The tree's primary Louisa Paulina is left alone — both are ordinary renderings of the same German name and neither contradicts the other.
Metcalfe | James Galbraith | Death | 25/02/1976 | 1976 | B | 67061 | John Metcalfe | Deborah Metcalf
Same death index row cited on the person as evidence of parentage: father John Metcalfe (#5421), mother Deborah Metcalf (#5409). Columns as on the death-event citation.
Metcalfe | John | Death | 20/08/1912 | 1912 | C | 4206 | John Metcalfe | Mary Ann Wilson
Same row cited on the person for parentage: both names match the tree's parents exactly — father John Metcalfe #5422 and mother Mary Ann Wilson #8161. He was a Scottish immigrant who arrived in Queensland in 1910 and died there two years later, so this Queensland registration is the only civil record that names his parents.
Margaret Frances Murray | Birth | 12/06/1890 | 1890/C/12773 | Father: Thomas Hamilton Murray | Mother: Elizabeth Ann Doe Dugdale
Columns: Name | Event | Date | Registration No. | Father | Mother, QLD BDM index birth search (surname Murray, given Margaret, 1890-1892). Confirms parents Thomas Hamilton Murray & Elizabeth Ann Doe Dugdale already on the tree (family #1162); distinguishes #5758 from Margaret Janet Campbell Murray #5759 (review item 4390).
Margaret Janet Campbell Murray | Birth | 25/02/1892 | 1892/C/10443 | Father: John Murray | Mother: Margaret McGavin
Columns: Name | Event | Date | Registration No. | Father | Mother, QLD BDM index birth search (surname Murray, given Margaret, 1890-1892). Confirms parents John Murray & Margaret McGavin already on the tree (family #2066); distinguishes #5759 from Margaret Frances Murray #5758, flagged at review item 4390.
Marion Jean Stirling Greenhill | Death | 25/08/1963 | Francis Hamilton Murray | Mary Ann Eliza Ryder | 1963/B/60578
Queensland historical death index; columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Registered under her married surname; the two parents named are exactly her parents in this tree (#5734, #6613), which is what identifies her.
"Eric Ivan Pacholke | Birth | 04/06/1924 | reg 1924/B/85960 | father=Albert Alexander Pacholke | mother=Gladys Maud Mona Goodwin"
QLD historical BDM index confirms existing birth date and parents. Distinct from Eric John Pacholke #26952 (reg 1926/C/13538, father John Henry Pacholke, mother Ethel Trimingham) - different parents.
QLD BDM online index row (columns: name, event, date DD/MM/YYYY, registration reference, father, mother). Confirms this infant female and distinct from the sibling born 26 Jun 1889 (ref 1889/C/6711).
Death registration: Amelia Stallman, 10/09/1928, mother Auguste Habermann, father Johann Schmaling.
Born Schmaling; a different Amelia Stallman from Amelia Brown (proposal #2732, d.1962). No marriage record identifying her Stallman husband was found; possibly related to Emilie Schmaling (William Stallman's wife, proposal #2730).
Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt, Death, 01/02/1924, Christian Schmidt, -, 1924/C/563
Queensland historical index, deaths search. Columns: Name, Event, Date, Father, Mother (blank in this row), Registration reference. Matches the tree's existing death date (1 FEB 1924) and gives his father's name for the first time: Christian Schmidt (mother not given in this record). Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt #6730 married Wilhelmine Primnitz (family 2320, no QLD BDM marriage record found) and had son Wilhelm Christian Schmidt (b.1872 Prussia) -- distinct wife and child from Wilhelm Carl Schmidt #19045 (dup_person item 4410).
Name: Caroline Smith | Event: Birth | Date: 30/07/1914 | Father: John Henry Tarver Smith | Mother: Mary Inch | Reference: 1914/C/10393
QLD BDM birth index. Only Caroline Smith registered to father John Henry Tarver Smith 1912-1917. Mother's name transcribed 'Inch'; almost certainly a digitisation misread of 'Lynch' (confirmed correct on the 1943 death registration below) given the exact, distinctive match on the father's full name.
Name: Caroline Gunn | Event: Death | Date: 13/03/1943 | Father: John Henry Tarver Smith | Mother: Mary Lynch | Reference: 1943/C/1819
QLD BDM death index. Matches the tree's existing death date and married surname (Gunn) exactly; parents match family 1957 exactly, settling that this married/died Caroline is the daughter registered born 1914.
Christopher Staines Birth 26/09/1907 Sydney Henry Staines Sophie Louisa Stoltmann 1907/C/4934
Father 'Sydney Henry Staines' is a distinctive exact match; mother spelled 'Sophie Louisa Stoltmann' on this row, almost certainly a registrar mis-spelling of Stallmann/Stallman, the spelling on all seven other children's registrations.
Birth registration: August Stallman, 13/05/1863, mother Sophia Ahrens, father Christian Stallman.
This Christian Stallman cannot be the Christian Stallmann (b.1858) already in the tree, who would have been only 5 years old in 1863 — a distinct, older man, probably an elder brother of the b.1858 Christian, both apparently sons of John Stallman.
