For Florence Isabel Gilmour (1920–2017)

"Florence Bjelke-Petersen was born Florence Isabel Gilmour, in Brisbane on 11 August 1920, eldest of two daughters of James Pollock Gilmour, an accountant and company secretary, and his wife Florence Mabel, nee Low." ... "Joh and Florence married at her church, the Fortitude Valley Presbyterian Church, on 31 May 1952"

Identification. Matches the tree on birth date (11 AUG 1920), both parents by full name (James Pollock Gilmour #59761, Florence Mabel Low #59762) and the marriage date to Johannes Bjelke-Petersen (#50578), family 15301, 31 MAY 1952. Decisive.
