Yes, my gr grandfather's name was CHARLES COLES and appears, at different times depending on what certificate he was filling out, to have been a travelling optician, showman, theatrical agent etc etc ad infinitum - probably a snake oil salesman as well !! subject a way to find out what shows such as royal show or a circus or something along those lines would have been visiting Warwick in the latter part of 1900? Thanks everyone for any clues you may find. Marcelle

Jill, you will have to call the Belgian Gardens cemetery yourself, we have some records at our local historical society, but not up to date, nor does the Townsville City Council has their cemeteries on line, there are some Townsville cemetery records online through ozgenon-line cemeteries, but no ORR. www.whitepages.com.au for telephone directory or google cemetery.

Hello everyone, I would like a look-up for confirmation of a record I have for a death/burial of William Hunter ORR please? It's in a note scribbled on a piece of paper, tut tut, and I'm not sure what it means. The 'note' is near some records for Belgian Gardens, Bur Reg V4, 1961-1980.

Hi Marcelle Just off the top of my head, the only "show" that I know of, in current times, is the Warwick Rodeo. It has been going a long time, so I can make enquiries for you. It is held the last weekend of October. In the meantime you may find something on the Net, about the Rodeo, when it commenced etc. Good Luck, Debbie, Warwick, Qld. -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of MvS Sent: Sunday, 13 September 2009 7:45 PM To: aus-qld@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-QLD] WARWICK QUEENSLAND 1900 BlankHi List Is there any way to find out what shows such as royal show or a circus or something along those lines would have been visiting Warwick in the latter part of 1900? <snipped>

BlankHi List Is there any way to find out what shows such as royal show or a circus or something along those lines would have been visiting Warwick in the latter part of 1900? I'm grasping at straws and using information on the Birth Certificate of my great aunt which states that her father was 'on tour' at the time of the birth. He signed the certificate so presumably was on tour in Warwick. Hope someone can help. I'm going to track down these people if it's the last thing I ever do!!!!! Grrrrrr - so elusive and so annoying! Cheers Marcelle in Western Australia

Hi Don, With the internet release of a searchable database.. the CD Production was effectively phased out... As far as I am aware there is no plan to produce CD's for post 1914. Online however is searchable for Deaths and Marriages to 1929. There is a plan in the pipeline to upgrade this again to later years... which was supposed to have happened in June.. but due to technical hitches they decided to hold off until it was revised and subsquently issued at a later date. The answer to your question however is.. no they did not produce CD's after the federation index 1914. Cheers Sue

Hi Jill, Thanks for this great site. Found some wonderful photos of places where my parents lived near Winton back in 1925. Fantastic pics showing places in 1890 compared to where I live now...and photos of old friend's parents and grandparents! Again thankyou. You have made my day!
