Auguste Wilhelmine Kreis, Death, 06/08/1950, father Christian Stumer, mother Justine Meisner, 1950/C/3234
Exact date, married name and parents match. She married Johannes Kreis at Haigslea in 1883 and died at Ipswich in 1950; her sister #7506 married Adolph Rieck at Ipswich in 1872 and died at Gin Gin in 1932. Same parents and the same recorded birth day of 21 Feb 1853 (they may be twins), but two marriages and two deaths eighteen years apart - two women, not one.
Wilhelm Frederick Otto Stumer, Death, 12/01/1961, father Frederick Martin, mother Emelie Zabel, 1961/C/586
Exact date and parents match. #8828 was born at Brandenberg in Germany in 1878 to Wilhelm August Ferdinand Stumer and Ernestine Bulgis, reached Brisbane in 1881 and died at Dugandan in 1910 - fifty-one years earlier, to different parents and a different wife. Two men.
Alexander Thornton, Birth, 18/11/1856, father Thomas Thornton, mother Mary Jane McCrackenson, 1857/C/799

Alexander Thornton, Death, 06/04/1904, father Thomas Henry Thornton, mother Mary Jane McCrackinson, 1904/C/370
Only one 'Alexander Thornton' death appears in the QLD index 1880-1935; parents match his own birth registration above exactly (allowing for Thomas/Thomas Henry and McCrackenson/McCrackinson spelling), independently cementing the parent link. Index date (6 Apr 1904) is 1 day before the tree's existing uncited death date (7 Apr 1904) -- attached as corroborating evidence only; NOT overwriting the date, flagged for human review of which day is correct.
David Thornton, Death, 17/01/1883, father Alexander Thornton, mother Elizabeth Brown, 1883/C/3535
Confirms the tree's existing death date 17 JAN 1883 exactly (the infant who died aged 2); both parents named exactly, consistent with his own 1880 birth registration.
Corroborates existing exact birth date; parents match the tree's existing linked parents (#7666/#1969) exactly. This row spells the mother 'Browne'; her own death registration (quoted separately) spells it 'Brown' -- an attested spelling variant on Elizabeth Brown/Browne herself, not on Ellen.
George Thornton, Death, 26/06/1968, father Alexander Thornton, mother Elizabeth Brown, 1968/C/3542
Both parents named exactly, identity certain. Index date (26 Jun 1968) is 3 days after the tree's existing uncited date (23 Jun 1968) -- attached as corroborating evidence only; NOT overwriting the date, flagged for human review of which day is correct.
John Alexander Thornton, Death, 07/08/1962, father Alexander, mother Elizabeth Brown, 1962/C/3210
Both parents named exactly (father given-name only), identity certain via the full triple given name. Index date (7 Aug 1962) is 1 day after the tree's existing uncited date (6 Aug 1962) -- attached as corroborating evidence only; NOT overwriting the date, flagged for human review of which day is correct.
Mary Jane Thornton, Birth, 02/02/1890, father Alexander Thornton, mother Elizabeth Brown, 1890/C/1436
Exact date match to tree birth 2 FEB 1890; both parents named exactly. Independently matches the 'BDM Birth Reg C1436/1890' field on her own austcem headstone record -- see the Eaton-family proposal.
