The cemeteries of the Gold Coast aren't generally available on-line, but another researcher told me that an email to the council provided them with the burial information they were looking for, so I would suggest starting with that. However, the Council will not be able to help if the person was buried or cremated in a non-Council cemetery. I have checked our website of headstone photos and there are no BOWES in them. The other thing to bear in mind with popular retirement locations like the Gold Coast is whether the people were long-time residents or more recent arrivals (e.g. many retirees). Recent arrivals are often buried/cremated back in their home towns, because there are more folk there wanting to attend the funeral, or a desire to be buried with other family members, etc. So check for a home town burial if the BOWES were not long-term residents.

I have started to research my McDougall line and would welcome any information on the family. Here are the details I have to date: John McDougall and Frances Elizabeth (nee McDonald) came from Scotland, possibly Glasgow. Settled in the Beaudesert area as farmers. Two sons born in Australia - Hugh Thomas b.1867 and Francis Ronald (Frank) McDougall b. 1873 (my g-grandfather), so I assume John and Frances came to Australia in the mid 1860s. Frances' death is recorded in 1887 and it is likely that the John McDougall who died in 1888 - notated born Scotland aged 54 - is probably the record since it gives no further information on his family! Frank McDougall married Elizabeth Rachel Summerville in 1905 and they had three children - Douglas (m. Florence May Pope 1935) (my grandparents) , Mabel Emily (m. Francis Hayes) (brought up believing they were my grandparents... yes there is a story there!) and Grace Elizabeth (m. William Rogers 1935). Frank McDougall moved to the Oxley River area and had a dairy farm encompassing (according to family stories!) most of Chelmer and Graceville. Thanks in advance Annette

Is there anyway of checking when someone left Qld. for England ... I have traced them to 1892 in Townsville and then a possible marriage in England in 1904 TIA Jan

I have discovered two children of our William MUIR ended up in the Townsville Orphanage.. the registration for both Elizabeth and Forrester MUIR states that the Mother deserted the Father and was in London... a Cousin contacted the orphanage and received information that the children were registered also as Elizabeth and Forrester HUNT the admission dates and dates of birth and other details on the slip are the same as for the registrations under MUIR On the HUNT registratins it states that they were committed by Police Magistrate. the date is 1883 My questions is would there be any further information available from the Police Magistrate's court.. and are these available to search TIA Jan

Jocelyn, Use the on line request form from the State Library of Queensland "Ask a Librarian" and get their funeral notices from the Rockhampton papers or if you know the exact date of their wedding in Rockhampton as for that too, have you looked through the trove site too, and the war records.

I'm looking for the CHILDREN of HENRY ERNEST WILSON and DORIS MABEL nee Busch. Henry and Doris were married in 1933 at Rockhampton, so they would be born after that I would think.
