Hi Vicki, ok.. depending on the time period we are talking about... and also where they were living at the time.. but in general if it was in queensland they should be at the Queensland state archives... however some court records remained with the court that the thing occurred in... like the mt isa district court for example. usually these types of things would be in a higher court though. supreme court ecclesiastical or miscellaneous.. usually. You can get the good folks at QSA to look for you.. if you send them an email they can allocate a couple of hours to look for something for you...however its best if you do some of the setting up... as two hours is not alot of time in the archives. So to start with I would just type their name into the index and see what comes up. that is where you will likely find their land records for toowoomba too if they had any. Also check the wills. they may have a copy of his death certificate in his will! so to contact QSA. info@archives.qld.gov.au will get you to the appropriate section. I hope this helps you...
