I am only new to this mailing list, so I didn't see your original post. But as far as war records / dates of birth are concerned - my grandfather altered his age for both World Wars. He put his age up for WW1, and put his age down for WW2, so he would be eligible to serve. I have found his record for WW2, but can't for the life of me find his WW1 file (he changed his name too!). Could your relative have put his age down, ie, made himself younger, on his Attestation Form in WW2 so he could serve? Just a thought.

After downloading Francis' WWII record from the National Archives I find that his place of enlistment was written down as Holmhill - so I guess that solves that problem. He was living at Nowa Nowa, Vic, at the time and I'm assuming that the recruitment officer at Caulfield had never heard of Home Hill and just wrote down what he thought he heard. He may have known about Townsville but not its suburbs. However, that still leaves unanswered the question of his birth record. His Attestation Form shows 17th September 1914 - which conflicts with his stated age of 46 (in 1958) at the time of death at Paynesville, Vic. The death record in the Registry indexes shows both parent's names as unknown. Varsell is a most uncommon name and only two instances in the Vic death record indexes. the older of the tworobbos Queensland Dead Persons Society Toowoomba www.audps.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-QLD-BRISBANE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message This correspondence is for the named persons only.

Duncan CUNNING married Ellen (Nell) INGRAM at Calliope on 20 Dec 1909. Duncan died on 2 SEP 1959 and Nell on 29 Apr 1949. Both are buried in CALLIOPE Cemetery. The CUNNING lime originated in Scotland. I have no information at all on INGRAM, but possibly from Ireland. Is anyone researching either name? Cheers, Bob in Melbourne Cheers, Bob

No - it's not dormant. There have been some problems since the Rootsweb mailing list changes. I did a quick check of the archives and the message never arrived. That said - the majority of people who help on the Brisbane list are members on the Qld list, so you'll get the same results :) Unfortunately, I don't have any information for your actual query.
