Stephen our births only go up to 1919 (on microfiche) and online to 1914, so if she was born after that, can't help you. You may have to purchase the death certificate or plow through the newspapers on line. The informant may not have known the name of the father or the father was away.

Greeting all, I am looking for records regarding the birth and probably infant death of a Daphne MEYERS (also possibly MEYER). I have this index listing for her Death from Qld BDM Online 1925/44972 Daphne Meyers - Doris Augustus Meyers It looks like she was born out of wedlock given that no father is listed, and she shares her mother's surname. Her mother's name is more properly spelt Doris Auguste Meyer. She was my Great-Aunt. If someone could look up records of Daphne's birth and death I would be very grateful. They might solve a minor family mystery for me. Cheers to all ... -- Stephen Nicholson (Wollongong)

Hi Jan, Thanks for this.    I'd love to know what happened to Ruth.    Can't find a death or marriage for her and she's not registered on electoral rolls.    Maybe I have to try interstate.    Eric disappears for a while too - there until 1908 & reappears 1935.   Not in the army either.    Regards Brenda ________________________________ From: Doug & Jan <jst88221@bigpond.net.au> To: aus-qld@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 8 December, 2009 8:00:46 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] KENNEY Mervyn Lardner KENNY born 22-5-1892 ref 1892/006130 died 25-8-1894 ref 1894/001987 Father Thomas Aloysius  Mother Lizzie Anna LARDNER.

Thanks Gay Just realized what I wrote... Of course he would have still be on the Run in Mary 1912 must have ..I was just excited to have been able to get his British Records online so quickly.... we always thought he was in the Merchant Navy ...not the Royal Navy.... We knew he jumped ship because in WW2 he wouldnt join the Aust.

Can't help you with the Solicitors Jan...but here's my two cents worth on some of the other stuff.. As far as I have found in military research...~ "Discharge by Purchase"was normally the prerogative of Officers....was he one? If he went AWOL in October 1911 He certainly had plenty of time to marry your Grandmother in May 1912....He would have been still on the run, when he married her..before he was caught .which probably happened about November 1912.. (looking at things Mathematically) 42 days Detention is only 6 weeks...If he was released from detention in December 1912...He must have been detained from mid November 1912... His Court Martial and sentence would have occurred about then.. (there was no such thing as "out on bail" in the military :-)) Justice was speedy... If you wanted to dig deeply enough you would find a copy of the Court Martial. I am not sure about the Navy..or if detention means ..."locked up" Perhaps he was in the brig on the ship.. You might want to talk to some Navy people at an RSL to clarify the meaning...but it sounds different to the term "in custody" which certainly does mean .."locked up" .

Hi, Looking for any connections with my grandfathers brother Thomas KENNEY Thomas was born in Emerald Hill (south Melbourne) c 1856 son of Daniel Kenny & Ann McNamara. In 1896 he was telegraph operator at Herberton.   He married Lizzie LARDNER in 1878 & had 3 known children Ruth 1878,  Eric 1881 & Yolande Beryl 1886. He came to Melbourne in 1925 then returned to Qld where he died in 1827. Any descendants out there?

I am searching for information on the Stephenson family, who emigrated to Queensland in 1902 on board the Duke of Westminster and whom I last saw on the electoral roll for 1913 living at Mungana, Chillagoe. Annie (b Liverpool 1869; daughter of William Bindloss and Mary Nettleton) is known to have travelled back to the UK to give birth on at least one occasion, and I have found her with a daughter and infant returning on the Suevic to Sydney from Liverpool on 10 Sep 1909. The identity of the infant is not known but may be a son, Fred, or a daughter Winnie; these names were recorded by an elderly niece of Annie many years later and may be wrong. Harold (b Liverpool 1860; son of Thomas Stephenson and Eleanor Molyneux) seems to have worked as a labourer and also as a clerk. He and his wife lived in Bebington, Cheshire, before their departure for Australia, and kept a clothiers' shop. They moved to Queensland on the urging of Harold's brother, George Fenn Stephenson, and may have taken over land that was farmed by him or by their father, Thomas (d Upper Murray River near Cardwell,1886). Harold and Annie and their children do not appear to be among the deaths recorded in the latest release from the Queensland BMDs, and I have not yet found any indication that they returned permanently to the UK. Any information as to how to trace them would be very much appreciated. Many thanks Mary _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter <http://www.spamfighter.com/len> .

Ray You would be better to go to the Inwards passengers lists on "Findmypast", as there are very few records kept of passengers leaving Brisbane. There may be a small item in a very old newspaper, at that time it was called "The Moreton Bay Courier", but sometimes on the "well known etc" were mentioned.

Hi everyone! I am now trying to discover when and why Guiseppe CHICONI came to Queensland. I cannot find him in any Immigration indexes whatsoever. I know he was born in 1836 Italy and arrived in Australia about 1860 (from his death cert). He married Ellen WHEATLEY 1867 in Rockhampton, but both of their surnames were spelt differently. Name: Gioseppe (Joseph) CICHONI Marriage: 1 July 1867 St Paul's Church, Rockhampton Giosepp Cichoni born Anacona Roman States and Helen Whately born Co Westmeath Ireland (bachelor and spinster) United Church of England and Ireland I cannot find Ellen WHEATLEY's immigration either. She appears to have brothers: John and William Henry both born in 1840s Westmeath Ireland. She arrived in Australia about 1864 according to her death cert. Thanks for any assistance with this one!!
