For Hodgkinson, Woothakata, Queensland, Australia

Woothakata - state electoral district of Queensland, Australia

Entity fetched and checked by class: P31 = Q5356184 (electoral district), P625 = -17.3667 / 145.383. That district reference point is exactly what this row was geocoded to, so the coordinate describes an electoral district, not the place. The district also postdates the row's only event (BIRT 17 NOV 1882) by six years. The name refers to the Hodgkinson goldfield, centred on Thornborough about 62 km north-west; the assigned point falls in the Herberton tin field instead. Cleared rather than moved, because a birth on the goldfield cannot be pinned to its town.

For Somerset, Queensland, Australia

Somerset, Queensland, 4876, Australia — lat -10.8252049, lon 142.5431049 (OpenStreetMap/Nominatim)

Corrects a wrong-state geocode: the row was geocoded to Q1498015, the town of Somerset in Tasmania (-41.05/145.8333), with a matching Tasmanian Wikipedia url. The intended place is the Cape York settlement, seat of the Government Resident from 1864. Qid and wikipediaUrl cleared rather than replaced because no Wikidata item for the Cape York settlement was found.
