Birth Date: August 1862 (Ipswich, Queensland) Death Date: 21 May 1919 (Ipswich, Queensland) Parents: Samuel Summerville and Elizabeth (nee Thompson) Family: Annie Agnes Herbert on 22 July 1892 in Ipswich, 2 sons, 3 daughters
Identification. Both named parents and the spouse and the exact marriage date match the tree record (father Samuel Summerville, mother Elizabeth Thompson, wife Annie Agnes Herbert m. 22 JUL 1892 Ipswich). Birth month, birth place, death date and death place also agree. The register's "2 sons, 3 daughters" counts the children who survived; the tree records ten births, five of them dying young.
Ada Jessie Rhoades on 18 May 1901, 1 son, 2 daughters
The register's Family field. The same page gives Birth Date 12 December 1871 (Croydon), Death Date 1 July 1940 (Rockhampton, Queensland) and Parents 'David Archer and Susan (nee Stubbs)'. Spouse name matches #6444; the parents match the 1881 and 1891 census residence events already on this record. Basis for refining the birth and death dates.
Birth Date: 15 August 1837 (Mauchline, Ayrshire) Death Date: 18 November 1917 (Longreach, Queensland) Parents: Peter Murray and Jean (nee Witherspoon) Family: (2) Margaret Graham McGavin on 3 January 1882 at Rockhampton, 3 sons, 1 daughter, (1) Jane Elizabeth Hartley on 1 September 1873 at Rockhampton, 2 sons, 1 daughter
Identification. Both parents, both wives, both marriage places and both children breakdowns match the tree exactly, as do the full birth and death dates and places. Note the second marriage date: register 3 January 1882 against the tree's 5 JAN 1882 (see proposal note).
Birth Date: 19 February 1856 (Burnima, near Bombala, New South Wales) Death Date: 24 July 1943 (Brisbane, Queensland) Parents: Donald Gunn and Anna Sophia (nee Hughes) Family: Mary Anne Rattray Deuchar on 29 December 1880, 3 sons, 2 daughters Education: Warwick State School; Brisbane Grammar School; National School, Warwick Religion: Presbyterian
Identification. Parents, wife, marriage date and birthplace all match #20299 exactly. This also rules out his son Donald Deuchar Gunn (#26384, b. 1882), whose death year 1943 coincides.
The register indexes him as Ernest Arthur, but its own detail page gives Birth Date: 22 March 1879 (Mareeba, Queensland) and Parents: John Atherton and Catherine (nee Grainger), matching the birth registration 1879/C/814 which names him Ernest Albert. Arthur is a register error; the tree, Wikipedia and Wikidata all have Albert. No change proposed.
Birth Date: 22 March 1879 (Mareeba, Queensland) Death Date: 29 June 1954 (Mareeba, Queensland) Parents: John Atherton and Catherine (nee Grainger) Family: Honoria Christiana Svendsen on 10 April 1912, 2 sons, 1 daughter Education: Attended Cairns State School; Received private tuition at Port Douglas Religion: Church of England
Identification: parents and both vital dates and places match #22492 exactly. Note the register heads the entry 'Ernest Arthur' where the tree, Wikipedia and Wikidata have 'Ernest Albert'; no name change is proposed.
Birth Date: 1868 (Durnow, Maitland, New South Wales) Death Date: 29 November 1957 (Ipswich, Queensland) Parents: Henry John Cooper and Elizabeth (nee Chaffe) Family: Ida Emma Ernst on 1 January 1902, 4 sons, 2 daughters
Identification. The tree record independently holds spouse Ida Emma Ernst, marriage 1 JAN 1902, and exactly four sons and two daughters, plus birth at Maitland NSW and death at Ipswich. Spouse name + exact marriage date + children breakdown are the discriminators; the matching birth/death years alone would not be.
Birth Date: 1857 (Hoo, Rochester, Kent) / Death Date: 10 April 1932 (Charleville, Queensland) / Parents: George Barber and Fanny (nee Parker) / Family: (2) Mary Ann Toub on 27 November 1923 in Brisbane, (1) Florence Gifford, in Canterbury, England, 6 sons, 4 daughters
Parents, both marriages and the death date confirm identity. The 1857 birth year is recorded as the dissenting value only; it is contradicted by the age of 72 given independently by the obituary and the cemetery index. Source given on the page is Waterson (2001).
Birth Date: 1857 (Hoo, Rochester, Kent) Death Date: 10 April 1932 (Charleville, Queensland) Parents: George Barber and Fanny (nee Parker) Family: (2) Mary Ann Toub on 27 November 1923 in Brisbane, (1) Florence Gifford, in Canterbury, England, 6 sons, 4 daughters Religion: Presbyterian
Identification. Death date and place match the tree exactly; the first wife Florence Gifford, the Canterbury marriage and the family of 6 sons and 4 daughters all match #43947. The register's birth year 1857 disagrees with the tree's 1860 and with Wikidata; the tree value was left unchanged. A different George Phillips Barber (Bundaberg, d. 1938) also appears in this register and is not this man.
Recorded as refuted. Two independent Queensland registrations - her own death in 1899 (father surname Davis) and her son's death in 1931 (mother Ann Davis) - give Davis, not Bennett. Wikipedia repeats the register. His middle name Bennett looks like the reason for the error rather than evidence for it. No change proposed; the tree's Annie Sarah Davis stands.
Birth Date: 24 March 1849 (Colac, Victoria) Death Date: 3 June 1931 (Brisbane, Queensland) Parents: Thomas Story and Anne (nee Bennett) Family: Ellen Lavinia Fletcher in Campbelltown, Tasmania, 5 sons, 4 daughters
Identification. The register carries the full name George William Bennett Story, which is this tree row's name exactly, plus four matching discriminators: birth 24 March 1849 at Colac, Victoria (tree BIRT 24 MAR 1849, Colac), death 3 June 1931 at Brisbane (tree DEAT 3 JUN 1931, Brisbane), father Thomas Story (tree #47138) and wife Ellen Lavinia Fletcher (tree #47082). Conflict not acted on: the register and Wikipedia give the mother as Anne/Annie nee Bennett, where the tree has Annie Sarah Davis (#47132) - left unchanged.
"Birth Date: 9 March 1833 (Plymouth) Death Date: 8 August 1901 (Melbourne, Victoria) Parents: Thomas Groom and Maria (nee Harkcom) Family: Grace Littleton on 16 March 1859, 5 sons, 5 daughters"
Supports the birth and death dates and places added to the person record, and confirms the wife's name Grace Littleton, which is the tree record's spouse.
Birth Date: 24 December 1836 (London) Death Date: 19 March 1904 (Warwick, Queensland) Parents: Isaac Aland and Ann Family: Margaret Clegg in Brisbane, Queensland in 1856, 5 sons, 7 daughters
Identification, and conclusive. Birth 24 December 1836 and death 19 March 1904 at Warwick, Queensland match the tree row exactly; London is consistent with the tree's Clapton, Middlesex. The wife Margaret Clegg matches tree #49818 (d. 1915), and the register's count of 5 sons and 7 daughters matches the tree's twelve children exactly: sons Edwin Robert, Ernest Frank, Robert Ernest Graham, William Arthur Linton and Arthur Leslie; daughters Martha Elizabeth, Helen Clegg, Amy Gertrude, Edith Margaret, Sarah Annie, Ethel Margaret and Dora Josephine. Lead not acted on: the register names his parents Isaac Aland and Ann, where the tree has none - I did not add them, as relatives are out of scope here.
"Bligh, Anna Maria, AC ... Birth Date: 13 July 1960 (Warwick, Queensland) ... Family: Greg Withers, 2 sons ... Education: Bachelor of Arts, University of Queensland"
Identification. Birthplace (Warwick, Qld), birth month/year and the husband's name Greg Withers plus two sons all match tree person #50063. The register's day of birth (13 July) disagrees with the tree, Wikipedia and Wikidata (14 July); the tree value has been left unchanged.
"Birth Date: 26 January 1852 (Brisbane, Queensland)" "Death Date: 4 March 1903 (Brisbane, Queensland)" "Parents: Captain William Bligh O'Connell and Mary (nee Jones)" "Family: Emilie Amelia Miske on 16 April 1888, in Bundaberg 3 sons, 4 daughters" "Education: Rugby School, England" "Religion: Church of England"
Establishes the identification. Both vital dates and places, both parents and the wife's name all match tree #50128 (father #50108 William Bligh O'Connell, mother #50109 Mary Australia Jones, wife #50132 Emily Amelia Rosalie Miske). The register's marriage date of 16 April 1888 at Bundaberg is not currently recorded on family #15151 and was left for a separate pass. The register's child count (3 sons, 4 daughters) is lower than the tree's nine children.
Katter, Robert Carl (Bob) | Personal | Birth Date: 22 May 1945 (Cloncurry, Queensland) | Parents: Robert Cummin Katter and Mabel Joan (nee Horn)
Identification. The official register entry matches the tree record on all three hard discriminators: birth date 22 May 1945, birth place Cloncurry, and both parents' names (father #52280 Robert Cummin Katter, mother #52283 Mabel Joan Horn). This is the sitting federal Member for Kennedy.
"Birth Date: 16 August 1834 (Belmont, New South Wales)" "Death Date: 5 February 1904 (Cooredulla, Tenterfield, New South Wales)" "Parents: Henry Peterin Dutton and Sophia Hume (nee Bell)" "Family: Martha Ann Coley in Brisbane on 1 July 1865, 2 sons, 8 daughters" "Religion: Church Of England"
Decisive discriminator: the register's 2 sons and 8 daughters matches the tree exactly (sons Henry Coley and Charles Wisham; eight daughters), as do the parents, the wife and the marriage date and place. Register gives the birth place as Belmont, NSW, against the tree's West Maitland and ADB's Patrick Plains; not overwritten.
"Birth Date: 25 June 1854 (Brisbane, Queensland) ... Parents: John Petrie and Jane Keith (nee McNaught) ... Family: (2) Eliza Anne Agnes Luya on 14 April 1887, 2 sons, 1 daughter, (1) Margaret Aird on 4 January 1877, 1 son"
Identification. Birth date and both parents' names match the tree exactly (father #55732 John Petrie 1822-1892, mother #55735 Jane Keith McNaught), as do both marriages. The same page gives the death as 1 April 1928, against the tree's 1 MAR 1928; not overwritten.
Noble, Henry Winston Birth Date: 5 July 1909 (Brisbane, Queensland) Death Date: 28 March 1964 (Mooloolaba, Queensland) Parents: Alexander Noble and Alice Ann (nee Wood) Family: Myra Edith Godwin on 27 June 1936, 3 sons, 2 daughters
Identification. The register's full name, birth date, birth place, death date, both parents and the spouse all match the tree record exactly. This is the discriminator: Wikidata's roster entry reads only "Winston Noble" and gives a birth year of 1911, which would otherwise have made the match doubtful. Note the register's death place is Mooloolaba, where the tree has Brisbane.
"Birth Date: 2 October 1821 (Canterbury, Kent) ... Death Date: 2 January 1902 (Cairns, Queensland) ... Parents: John Kingsford and Mary (nee Walker) ... Family: (2) Emma Jane Dexter on 31 August 1892 at Launceston, Tasmania, 1 daughter, (1) Sarah Southerden in 1851 at Bridge, Kent, England, 1 son, 3 daughters"
Official register entry; independently confirms both vital dates, both parents and both marriages against the tree.
Death Date: 25 June 1914 (Brisbane, Queensland) Parents: Donald Charles Cameron and Margaret Anne (nee Moore) Family: (2) Lousie Christine Heussler 27 December 1899, in Brisbane, 1 son, (1) Sarah Annie Lodge 18 April 1877, in Mudgee, 3 sons
Identification, and the source for deathPlaceId. Both parents and BOTH wives with BOTH exact marriage dates match the tree: father Donald Charles Cameron (1814-1872), mother Margaret Anne Moore, first wife Sarah Ann Lodge m. 18 APR 1877, second wife Louise Christine Heussler m. 27 DEC 1899. Death 25 June 1914 matches. Two spouses with two exact marriage dates is decisive; the surname and years alone would not be.
Birth Date: 12 March 1845 (New Amsterdam) / Death Date: 25 June 1914 (Brisbane, Queensland) / Parents: Donald Charles Cameron and Margaret Anne (nee Moore)
Official register; its stated source is Waterson, A Biographical Register of the Queensland Parliament 1860-1929 (2001). Parents match the tree exactly, confirming identity. Its DAY of birth is not adopted: the same author's ADB entry gives 13 March 1847, so Waterson published two different days and two different years for this man and neither is independently corroborated. Only the month and year, which two contemporaneous obituaries confirm, are taken.
Birth Date: 26 August 1853 (Frankfurt-on-Main) Death Date: 23 January 1921 (Gympie, Queensland) Parents: Carl Stumm and Ann Sybilla (nee Streisk) Family: Margaret Pride on 17 April 1878, 5 sons, 5 daughters
Identification. Four independent discriminators match this tree row: birth date and place (tree 26 AUG 1853, Frankfurt am Main), death date and place (tree 23 JAN 1921, Gympie), father Carl Stumm (tree #65065) and the marriage to Margaret Pride dated 17 April 1878 (tree family 20212, MARR 17 APR 1878). Conflict not acted on: the register names the mother Ann Sybilla nee Streisk where the tree has Isabella Straich - left unchanged.
Sir Robert Dalrymple Horn Elphinstone and Graeme (nee Hepburn)
The register's Parents field, corroborating the ADB. The same page gives Birth Date 6 May 1826 (Aberdeenshire) and Death Date 22 January 1876 (St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex).
Euphemia Margaret McLean in Mackay on 23 December 1880, 2 sons, 2 daughters
The register's Family field. On the same page: Birth Date 14 December 1840 (Newbury, Berkshire); Death Date 1 September 1912 (Hamilton, Queensland); Parents James Dalrymple and Georgina (nee Hay). Marriage date, spouse name, parents' names and the 2-sons-2-daughters count all match this record - the identification is secure.
Birth Date: 9 April 1838 (Wollongong, New South Wales) Death Date: 1 December 1895 (Brisbane, Queensland) Parents: William Sheaffe and Rosalie D (nee Earle) Family: Isobel Maria Robertson in Wollongong in 1874, 3 sons, 1 daughter
Identification. Five discriminators match this tree row: the full name Roger Hale Sheaffe; death date 1 December 1895 exactly; birthplace Wollongong exactly; father William Sheaffe and mother Rosalie D nee Earle, matching tree #66018 and #66019 (Rosalie Danvers Earle); and wife Isobel Maria Robertson, matching tree #66011 (Isabel Maria Robertson). The register's count of 3 sons and 1 daughter matches the tree's four children exactly: William Frederick Earle, Roger Hale and Percy Lempriere, and the daughter Isabel Lempriere. CONFLICT NOT OVERWRITTEN: the register, Wikipedia and Wikidata all give the birth as 9 April 1838, where the tree holds a bare year of 1837. The tree's birthDate has been left untouched for a moderator to resolve.
Birth Date: 9 April 1838 (Wollongong, New South Wales) / Parents: William Sheaffe and Rosalie D (nee Earle) / Family: Isobel Maria Robertson in Wollongong in 1874, 3 sons, 1 daughter
Parents and marriage confirm identity. The birth date is recorded here as the dissenting value only: the page's stated source is Waterson, A Biographical Register of the Queensland Parliament 1860-1929 (2001), and it is contradicted by the 1895 death notice's 'aged 58 years'. Tree left at 1837.
Birth Date: 25 July 1862 (Moreton Bay, Queensland) Death Date: 5 April 1939 (Toowoomba, Queensland) Parents: Roderick Tolmie and Helen (nee Macrae) Education: South Toowoomba State School Religion: Presbyterian
Official register. Confirms both vital dates as held in the tree and the parents' names; establishes the death place as Toowoomba.
