Edgar George Oswald Wyatte Death 10/09/1977 - Harriett Ingram Wyatte 1977/B/80922
QLD BDM death index row: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Father column '-'. Mother named Harriett Ingram Wyatte, matching the tree (#44413) and its primary spelling.

John Freeman | Death | 21/03/1940 | Mathias | Elizabeth Green | 1940/C/1075
Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. The death date matches John Freeman (#44644) exactly and the father's given name matches Matthias Freeman (#44646); the index leaves the father's surname blank where it equals the deceased's. The mother named in the same row is the missing wife. No Freeman/Green marriage is in the Queensland index, so unionType is left unknown.
Index entry; certificate not viewed. The bride is indexed as Lilia Maud; the tree has Leila Maud. The tree had no marriage date and an unknown union type.
Vida Dabbs Thackeray Birth 26/08/1901 Stella Alice Thackeray 1901/B/3577
QLD BDM historical birth index. This search returned no row with a father, so the table has no Father column; columns quoted are Name / Event / Date / Mother / Reference. The only child of this family; both the child's full name and the mother's full name match the tree exactly.
George Guy | Marriage | 02/10/1874 | Harriet Timmis | 1874/B/4530
QLD historical marriage index, CLI column order name | event | date | spouse | reference (marriage rows carry no parent columns). Retrieved 2026-09-17. Establishes family #13508's union date and type.
Thomas Houghton | Death | 20/01/1910 | Benjamin Houghton | Ann Day | 1910/B/12051
Queensland historical death index row, fields in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Confirms Benjamin Houghton and Ann Day as the parents of Thomas Houghton (#45080), consistent with proposal #2884's severance of the deceased infant Benjamin Houghton (#45074, son of George Herbert Houghton, d.1894 per separate registration 1894/C/634) from this husband slot.
Family Name: Burrowes; Given Name(s): Helen; Event: Marriage; Event Date: 02/10/1901; Registration Number: 1901/C/910; Spouse: Richard Flanagan
Queensland historical BDM marriage index. A real marriage of a 'Helen Burrowes' to Richard Flanagan on 2 Oct 1901, but the bride cannot be this tree's Helen Susannah Burrowes, who died as an infant in 1866 (see citation on her death). No Queensland birth registration for any other 'Helen Burrowes' was found, so her identity is not established; the wife slot is cleared rather than reassigned to a guess.
John Henry Berghauser, Marriage, 26/07/1920. Reference 1920/C/2327. Spouse: Agnes Maud Cronin.
Queensland marriage index. The tree holds two men named John Henry Berghauser: the father (person 46564, b.1883), widowed in 1916 when his first wife Edith Florence Wilson died (also confirmed by a separate 1909/C/1325 marriage registration and a 1937 death registration for the son that names 'John Henry'/'Edith Wilson' as parents); and the son (person 46575, b.1912, d.1937), who was only 8 years old in 1920 and cannot have married. This marriage record is re-pointed from the son to the father.
John Edward Currie, Marriage, 19/09/1881, 1881/C/397, spouse Margaret Connolly
QLD BDM marriage index row; index spells the bride 'Margaret Connolly', the tree has 'Margaret Connelly' (#46655) — the same union, already carrying 5 children together.
Hermine Harth Death 18/07/1939 - Caroline Zickomski 1939/C/3908
QLD BDM death index row: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Father column '-'. Found under Hermine's married surname (Harth, from her 1887 marriage to Konrad Harth) since her death registered under her husband's name, not her birth surname Zickomski. Mother named Caroline Zickomski, matching the tree (#48252).
Catharina Truss | Birth | 10/03/1878 | Johannes Truss | Anna Maria Zimmerle | 1878/C/1437

QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. The Father column is BLANK in every row. All three children of this family are present. Separately, the index has 'Sarah Christina Tessmann Birth 18/07/1875 August Tessmann Caroline Biskow 1875/C/1525', which would be the mother's own birth - not proposed here.
Charlotte Marie Gesch Birth 02/07/1896 Charles Frederick August William Gesch Lydia Maggie Straight 1896/C/7538 | Charles Thomas Gesch Birth 19/04/1901 Charles Frederick August William Gesch Lydia Maggie Straight 1901/C/5408 | Rose Lydia Josephina Gesch Birth 07/10/1904 Charles Friedrich August William Gesch Lydia Maggie Straight 1904/C/3660 | William Charles Straight Gesch Birth 09/05/1907 Charles Friedrich August William Gesch Lydia Maggie Straight 1907/C/3696 | Roy Straight Gesch Birth 04/06/1914 Charles Fredrick August William Gesch Lydia Maggie Straight 1914/C/15775

Queensland historical birth index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Father 'Edwin Alex Riddell' and mother 'May Ada Pink' match Edwin Alexander Riddell #52021 and his wife Ada May Pink #51299 (family #15755, married 29 Apr 1914 Queensland), name order reversed as is common in this index. This is the same Jean Riddell #82723 who witnessed George Edward Smith & Joyce Rose Reichmann's 1946 Townsville marriage (age 23 in 1946, consistent), previously reported as having no connection found.
Charles Walton | Marriage | 12/10/1881 | Betsy Perrett | 1881/C/436
Queensland historical marriage index, columns Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Reference. Queensland marriage rows carry no parents; this is the marriage-class record that justifies unionType 'married'.
William Charles Walton | Birth | 15/07/1882 | Charles Walton | Betsy Perrett | 1882/C/2475
Queensland historical birth index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Matches William Charles Walton #34539 exactly (tree: born 15 JUL 1882, Mt Walker).
Queensland historical birth index, same columns. Boyd Perrett Walton #34544; his middle name is his mother's maiden surname, and his brother James Seeley Walton carries his maternal grandfather's given name.
"mother: Christina Haddow" (both the birth and the death registration)
Supports the single-parent family 16008 (Christina Haddow 52800 as mother of Jacob) and, by omitting any father, contradicts the former attachment of this child to family 15996 (George Haddow + Christina Welsh).
Charles Petrie | Marriage | 09/02/1893 | reference 1893/C/1923 | spouse Mary Rice
Columns as returned by the Queensland Historical BDM index search: name | event | date | registration reference | spouse. Confirms the family's existing 9 Feb 1893 marriage date, and proves Charles Petrie was already an adult when he married -- irreconcilable with the person row's birth year of 1886 (which would make him about 7).
Alice Ann Trousdell | Marriage | 10/03/1920 | James Gibbs | 1920/C/817
Queensland historical BDM index, columns Name | Event | Date | Spouse | Reference (via genealogy-cli qld-bdm). Only one Alice Ann Trousdell was ever born in QLD to a Trousdell father (the 1908-born daughter, see her own citation) so this bride is identified as Neptune Richard Trousdell's widow, remarrying under her married surname; confirmed by her 1962 death registration below. A second, unrelated 1929 marriage register entry for an Alice Ann Trousdell (to Percy Hayden, 1929/C/2634) more plausibly belongs to the daughter, by then 21; it is not added here.
Edna Gladys Roze Birth 31/10/1911 Maria Dorothea Paulsen Roze 1911/C/9584
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. The Father column is BLANK. The only child of this family; the mother's full name Maria Dorothea Paulsen matches the tree exactly, with 'Roze' (the child's surname) appended.
Evan Chellingworth · Marriage · 24/10/1910 · 1910/C/1791 · Mary Jacobson
QLD BDM marriage index row (fields: Name, Event, Date, Reference, Spouse), retrieved via genealogy-cli qld-bdm. The only Evan Chellingworth x Mary Jacobson marriage in the index; it cannot be person #57114 (the family's previously-recorded husband), who died 19 Jun 1903 (QLD BDM death 1903/C/2207, parents Thomas Chellingworth & Ellen Parker — an exact match to #57114's own parents already in the tree), seven years before this marriage.
Pauline Mary Severin | Marriage | 22/12/1904 | Lionel Draper | 1904/C/321
Confirms the marriage and refines the tree's year-only date (1904) to the full registered date. Given-name order inverted in the index (Pauline Mary vs. the tree's Mary Pauline) but the same person: same surname, same spouse, same year.
