Hi Rex, With regards to were you should get your QLD certificates from, you will need to send a letter to State Archives. All Births Deaths & Marriages for before 1 Jan 1890 were sent there in January 1992. Their address is: State Archivist P O Box 1397 SUNNYBANK HILLS QLD 4109 Their fees as at 1998 were $20.50 for a certificate, or $17.50 is you had the registration number, but these would have probably gone up now. Other certificates can be obtained from the Registrar-General's Section P O Box 188 Brisbane Albert Street QLD 4022 PH: 07 32475800 Fax:07 32475803 Regards and good luck Jan Alford-Jarvis. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rex Grattidge" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 5:33 PM Subject: Rev Searle of Bowen > Greetings All...
