The Moreton Bay Courier of 7 April 1860 has a page of names of people on the voter's list for all of the above areas. I found it by doing a search for my great grandfather Darby McGrath. It includes voters and people with "claims allowed". It doesn't include anything but the person's name but is useful if you are trying to pin down your relatives. It's on the NLA newspaper digitisation project at: http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au Anne
Searching for death of Kydd/Kidd or Wright on Brisbane dock c. 1916. All help appreciated. Thank you, Ruth.
Thank you Kerry for your prompt answer. I'm hoping that someone may see your reply and be able to help me further. Best wishes Margaret
Thank you Jan for that information - when my great aunt visited England in 1954 she returned from London to Sydney so perhaps I should be looking in that area for deaths.

There is no sign of the couple in the Brisbane City Council burial registers, which rules out most (but not all) of Brisbane's cemeteries. If they were still living in Brisbane at the time of their deaths, they were most likely cremated at the privately run Mt Thompson Crematorium. There are some records available for it (but I don't have any easy access to them). The Qld death indexes go to 1964 so very likely someone with access can find a date of death for you for both of the couple. There is very likely a death or funeral notice for them in the Brisbane Courier-Mail, but as there are no indexes to the BDM notices, you do need the approx date of death to go searching.

Hi List In the 11 May 1887 Brisbane Courier is an advertisement which states that the Brisbane Chess and Draughts Club had their AGM at 'Pulley's? Coffee Palace' Grand Arcade. Can anyone tell me what this place was? Thank you Lorna

Joanne, well... its yeah how long is a piece of string... but depending on the time period and the church... you might be lucky... the major churches still have the majority of their originals... (some have been lost in the various floods in Brisbane) Do you have a specific church in mind?? It would pay to contact them directly certainly the major churches (cathedrals) have genealogical enquiries sections.. if you write to them you are more likely to get a response rather than calling. I know though St Stephen's (the catholic cathedral) have a microfiche of their early records which are available at the various family history societies... probably someone on the list will have it.. not sure about many of the others however... hope that this helps Sue.
Hi Sue and Carol Thanks for your help once again - have read the instructions, and sent off the forms and hope for a speedy return. Is it hard to find baptism records in Brisbane?
