    3. Hi Kerry Many thanks for your suggestion. It was good of you to respond. I have contacted the Qld Police Museum and have had a optimistic reply. The curator is presently searching for Bernard CONNOR's staff file and thinks that it is 'highly likely' that the reason for his dismissal will be there.

    1. Re: [AUS-QLD] Bauple Cemetery
    2. Indeed I should have qualified my comment as on-line resources. GSQ have an exceptional set of burial registers as well as headstone transcriptions. The registers in particular can have entries for which there is no surviving headstone, as well as giving different sets of information. If you can get in to GSQ, do so. As Barbara says there are indices sold by GSQ, e.g. Nudgee is on 14 fiche. Your local history library may have them.
