For James Perrett & Amelia Ross

He was a brother of the late Mr. Adam Perrett, of Bundanba.

Queensland Times, 26 July 1898, p.5. This sentence is the evidence for adding Sealey Perrett as a fourth child of this family: Adam Perrett #41995 died 9 MAR 1894 at Fassifern, in the Bundamba/Ipswich district. The same obituary calls Sealey 'a native of Somersetshire, England', matching the Frome, Somerset births of the other three children.

For Richard John Bligh & Marie Isabel Fennel

MARRIED. On the 16th instant, at Scone, by the Rev. John Morse, Richard Bligh, Esq., to Maria Isabella, only daughter of the late Captain Fennell.

Marriage notice nine days after the event: Richard Bligh (#50085) to Maria Isabella Fennell (#50086, recorded in the tree as Marie Isabel Fennel), at Scone, New South Wales, on 16 February 1847. The tree carries no marriage date for this family; this supplies one. The bride's identity is confirmed downstream by the Queensland death registration of their son, which names his mother as Marie Isabel Fennel, and by their granddaughter Marie Isabell Fennell Bligh, born 1882. The same notice appears in The Australian (Sydney) of 27 February 1847, Trove article 37131329.

For Richard Bligh & Elizabeth Bligh

The Late John O'Connell Bligh. ... The deceased was a grandson of Governor Bligh, and nephew of the late Sir Maurice O'Connell. He has been in the public service for about thirty years, having been appointed a lieutenant of the Native Police force about the year 1850. He has been in the public service ever since, and at the time of his death was 46 years of age. He leaves a family of six children to mourn their loss.

Obituary of John O'Connell Bligh (tree #50167), a child of this family, reprinted from the Gympie Miner of 14 December 1880 two months after his death. Two independent statements fix his mother's identity: he was a grandson of Governor William Bligh (#50091) AND a nephew of Sir Maurice O'Connell, who in this tree married the Governor's daughter Mary Bligh (#50095). His mother must therefore have been a daughter of Governor Bligh and a sister of Mary - which is exactly the tree's Elizabeth Bligh (#50192), wife of Richard Bligh (#50191). This is the evidence for the generation the descent turns on. Rated 2: a contemporaneous newspaper report of kinship, not a register entry.

For Robert Charles Morehead

MOREHEAD Oct. 17, Charles Lambton, aged 3 years, only son of Robert Charles Morehead, of Sydney.

Evidence for the new child link. Family 18439 is the family of #60211, identified by open proposal 176 as Robert Charles Morehead of Sydney; the notice names Charles Lambton as his only son. Consistent with the other child already in this family, Margaret Agnes (#26018), whose 1898 marriage notice calls her the 'only daughter of the late Robert Charles Morehead, of Sydney'.

The notice that revealed this family existed. 'B. M. ... nee Beltz' is OCR for E. M. nee Beitz. 'family' is plural, so there are further children born after 1926 who cannot be found while the birth index stays closed.

For William James Causon & Ada Louisa Trompf

TROMPF. On the 12th November, 1920, at his residence, Homeden, 414 Drum-mond street south, Henry Alexander, dearly-beloved husband of Catherine Amelia Trompf, and devoted father of Mabel (Mrs F. Foung, Colac), Ada (Mrs Wm. Causon, Ballarat), Olive (Mrs T. S. Woodburn, Dunkeld), Bert and Win-nie (deceased), Alma, Wilton, Henry, and Percy; aged 65 years.

Death notice for Ada's father names her as 'Ada (Mrs Wm. Causon, Ballarat)', proving the marriage had occurred by Nov 1920 (consistent with the family's recorded 1914 date) and locating the couple at Ballarat, Victoria. No Queensland BDM marriage record exists for Causon x Trompf; the family is Victorian, which explains the QLD nil. The actual Victorian marriage registration was not located - needs a browser session.
