Council-published PDF index (src-wip-310724.pdf) compiled from the South Rockhampton Cemetery burial registers; flagged 'work in progress' and dated 31 July 2024. Columns: cemetery, surname, given names, age, sex, death date, burial date, compartment (religious denomination), section, burial number, cause of death, occupation. The death-date column is empty for effectively all pre-1930 entries; the single date each row carries sits in the burial-date column. Read via the Internet Archive capture of 8 December 2024 because the live council site refuses automated retrieval.

For “Died” BEF 25 JAN 1920 of Thomas Hamilton Murray

"SRC | MURRAY | Thomas Hamilton | 85 | M | Sunday, 25 January 1920 | PR | 29 | 1945 | Old age | Grazier"

The register's death-date column is blank for this entry; the burial on 25 Jan 1920 only bounds the death. 'BEF 25 JAN 1920' is therefore an inference from this record, not a recorded death date - hence quality 1. It replaces '29 JAN 1920', which the burial makes impossible.

Burial-date column. The tree's existing burial summary ('sec 29 grave # 1945 died of old age') reproduces this line's section, burial number and cause of death, so event 11642 was transcribed from this register. Quality 2: a council transcription of the register, not the register page itself.
