Hi Erin Have you tried contacting the submitters of the family trees? Perhaps they have more details and more contacts that are not supplied on line! They may know of other descendants who are also researching and you may find that cousin who can help.

Hi Erin, If you are after any lookups from North Qld Newspapers, let me know as I can help with those. There appears to be several court/legal notices for Abraham John WINDLEY between 1914 and 1921 published in the Townsville Bulletin, also a couple for a Rachel WINDLEY in 1921. Contact me off list if I can help. Lyn > > I only asked about the librarian as I was not sure what they could provide. > I will read the site and use. > >

Hello List, Could I please ask for a look up for a marriage for Peter BRADFORD and Gladys Mary HARDING. It may be between 1936 and 1939, they are on the Electoral Roll in 1936 before they married and then on the 1949 they are married. Knowing my luck it is probably after 1939. I would look it up myself but I am unable to go into our FH Library for a while. Thanking you, Wayneann, in dusty Townsville.

Erin, google up gould genealogy click queensland and see what you can buy or just google the years of electoral rolls. On nominal rolls, at www.ww2roll.gov.au the birth is given, but they did lie... also check the National archives of Australia click record search and search for war records there... You could always put a letter to the editor I think the Ayr Advocate is still printed, Charters Towers Miner is and so is the Townsville Bulletin.

Hi Jenelle, Well the family I am looking for are all deceased but the births are after the 100 years rule and the death records are after the cut off as well. So I know it is outside the privacy act but it is frustrating when you know the individuals are already departed. I will try all the avenues that everyone has suggested and what I can't get will have to be left. I only asked about the librarian as I was not sure what they could provide. I will read the site and use.

I could probably find a photo of the cemetery if you would like one Brian. Cheers, Jill

Dont mind doing the look ups on the CD. the Nominal Rolls have Birth dates but you have to be careful because so many of the soldiers changed their date of birth so they could enlist... some a lot younger and those that were too old put their years back.. cheers Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erin Cowell" <erinsullivan_aus@yahoo.com> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Queensland Births after 1914 - Any tricks to finding? > Jan, > > I have ancestry so I can look up to 1939 but after that would be great.

Erin Qld registry office no longer requires proof of identity for the following records which are regarded as historical records. Births up to 100 years ago Marriages up to 75 years ago Deaths up to 30 years ago They have no intention of letting transcription agents obtain details of certificates and have a 5 year plan to put some more records online. We will wait and see! The waiting time for mailed certificates has been reduced to about 3-4 weeks. Best of luck Pam in Brisbaned

Erin There are CD's of electoral rolls available from Qld Family History Society for the following years. 1903; 1913;1922; 1934 & 1949. The 1959 is due to be released probably by the end of the year. Have a look here, you can order online. Some of the Australian electoral rolls are available on Ancestry up to 1936. http://www.qfhs.org.au/ Regards Pam in Brisbane From: "Erin Cowell" <erinsullivan_aus@yahoo.com> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 7:19 PM > Jules, > > I have read emails out of synch (yours went into spam for some odd > reason). > Thanks for the info.

Hi Brian Yes Dunwich had a benevolent asylum for many years. It housed mainly aged people who did not have anyone to care for them in the family. My mother's uncle was there for a few years before he died. He had been an itinerant worker (or swagman as Mum said). He used to just turn up at relatives homes for a few days visit and move on, usually on the trains, as swagman often did. There are records at the State Archives and also at the museum at Dunwich on Stradbroke Island. I think Redland Shire Council have burial records as my cousin got some from there. You probably won't find the actual grave as there are very few headstones, just a lot of metal markers and I understand a lot of unmarked graves in a grassed area. There was a jail on St Helena as I have someone there also. Regards Pam in Brisbane. From: "Brian M Morley" <bmo06298@bigpond.net.au> Subject: [AUS-QLD] Re Dunwich To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> One other question on Dunwich, do you know if there may have been a Jail or Hospital there in the early part of the 1900's? Benevolent Asylum records (Updated) The function of a benevolent asylum was to provide for poor people who because of age, accident, infirmity or otherwise were unable to care for themselves. The inmates included not only the elderly but also younger people. A benevolent asylum was not a mental asylum, but some people spent time in both. For advice about records of Dunwich Benevolent Asylum (including Qld Government Gazette notices re inmates), see the book Tips for Queensland Research. (New) You can now search the Sydney Benevolent Asylum Index 1857-1900 (opens in a new window). Some Queenslanders (including unmarried mothers) are listed there.
