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

For Lydia Henrietta Wendt (1886–1973)

Lydia Henrietta Wendt, born 06/05/1886. Reference 1886/C/6722. Father: Christian Wilhelm Wendt. Mother: Elizabeth Margaretha Holzberger.

Queensland birth index. Matches day and month exactly and both parents; the tree's recorded year (1866) is a digit transcription error for 1886 (6->8). This explains both the c.107-year lifespan flag (corrected to 87) and the 72-day sibling-spacing flag against Johann Philip Wendt (b. 24 Feb 1866, himself confirmed by a late-registered entry, ref 1896/O/728, father 'Wilhelm Wendt', mother 'Elisabeth Margarett Holzberger' — same couple, abbreviated).

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

For Phillip Bernard Qualischefski (1879–1944)

Philip Berndt Qualischefke, born 10/08/1879, father Albert Qualischefke, mother Margaret Ulrich, 1879/C/6256.

Fills the birth date; both parents match Albert John and Margaretha Ullrich.

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

For Albert John Qualischefski (1888–1923)

Albert Qualischefski, born 26/11/1888, father Andreas Heinrich Qualischefski, mother Henriette Welke, 1888/C/8707. Albert Qualischefski, death 06/12/1923, father Andreas Heinrich Qualischefski, mother Henriette Welke, 1923/C/4228.

This person's own record is entirely correct: birth date, both parents (#18058, #18059) and death year all match the register. What is wrong is the spouse link. He was born in 1888 and cannot be the Albert who married Margaretha Ullrich in 1874, so the husband slot of family 5595 is cleared. The 1874 groom is a different, older man who is not in the tree; no substitute is asserted.

For William Henry Whittle (1870–1948)

William Henry Whittle | Death | 01/02/1948 | 1948/B/15249 | - | -

Queensland historical death index row, retrieved 2026-08-29; columns in the index's own order: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother. Both parent columns are blank in the register, which is why this man cannot be attached to a family. A separate registration from William John Marwood Whittle's (1951/C/3527), so #18197 and #17476 are two different men.

For August Johann Gottlieb Beutel (1879–1928)

For Matilda Petrie (1884–1969)

Matilda Petrie | BIRT | 10/03/1884 | 1884/C/7696 | Adam Petrie | Matilda Jansen | surname: Petrie | id: B1598148 | refid: f1da06aa1efe451c183f0cce4b09ef66317d6ade305e20fec525fb19b30eb782 | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/f1da06aa1efe451c183f0cce4b09ef66317d6ade305e20fec525fb19b30eb782

Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm) BIRT index row, reference 1884/C/7696, found while researching #55769 (the row is not about that person). Identity: recognised as existing person #18515 (Matilda Petrie) by both parents Adam Petrie & Matilda Jansen (tree Adam Petrie & Maria Mathilde Jensen) and the BIRT year 1884 (strong match, parent_name). The tree's BIRT event exists (1884): cited only; refine the event from this row by hand. Built from the row's structured fields by code; the quote is the verbatim row.

For Charles Petrie (d. 1954)

Charles Petrie | Death | 28/12/1954 | reference 1955/B/5699 | father Adam | mother Matilda Jensen

Columns as returned by the index: name | event | date | reference | father | mother. Confirms identity: this Charles Petrie (d. 28 Dec 1954, matching the tree) is the son of Adam Petrie and Maria Mathilde Jensen, so the 1893 marriage record belongs to this same person, not a namesake. The birth year 1886 is provably wrong; correct year unknown (bounded well before 1886, plausibly mid-1860s to early 1870s given his mother's birth year of 1856), so it is cleared rather than guessed.

For Ann Hill (1843–1875)

"Ann Knight | Death | 15/04/1875 | reg 1875/B/9288 | father=Joseph Hill | mother=Mary Weston"

Names both parents, and matches the death date already recorded. She died under the surname Knight because she remarried Charles Knight in 1872 after Joseph Peters' death, which is why a search under Peters finds nothing. Corroborated by her brothers' Queensland deaths naming the same parents: Henry Hill 1925/B/47510 and George Hill 1860/B/452.

The mother's surname as indexed ("Non Heidge") is transcribed exactly as returned; possibly a Frisian/Low-German patronymic or place-name form, not otherwise resolved.

Distinguishes her from the other three Annas.
