Hi Helen

Not sure if you are looking forward or backwards as Tony says, but here are some Qld bdms.

George & Maria had 3 chn in Qld (Brisbane area):

Ada Mary b. 1891/B048527
Edith Lydia b. 1894/B054257
William b. 1896/B059169

It looks like the son Ernest did die at sea in 1889 as Tony suggested (1889/M002891). (I believe the M means 'marine'). So I wonder too if George listed as 10 has been mistranscribed and should read 40?

Daughter Ada married David TRAILL in 1912 (1912/B012114). David & Ada had a son named David John TRAILL in Maryborough in 1913.

:-)

Cheers
