Samuel Ackerley
« on: Saturday 15 August 15 22:49 BST (UK) »
God evening, I have received a death certificate for the above and his wife Emma they ran a cafe Samuel and Emma entered business in Cooktown in January 1874. The place of business was a tent, as at that time Cooktown was virtually a canvas township. After two years they took over a business in Queen Street, Brisbane, which they conducted for seven years.

I have both their death certificates - Sam died in 1898 at Yundah St Sandgate and Emma died at Lockwood Street, Sherwood.  On both their death certificates a Thomas Whalley - Nephew, Long Street, Graceville registers the death of Emma and at the time of Sam's death he is living at Yundah Street, Sandgate.  They are buried in Toowong Cemetery I would love to know who is this Thomas?
regards
Heather  :)

Bit difficult to search for a relationship with Thomas WHALLEY, a nephew unless you give more detail.  Need some parents' names including mothers' maiden names and the relationship may be more distant.

It would appear that Thomas WHALLEY was not a nephew and the relationship was with his his wife, Alice whose mother was a SMITH.

Can I just say that all you people out there who has helped me with Sam and resolving who thomas was are totally amazing I take my hat off to you all.  One more question are Wills available on line wondering what happened to any property of money they might have left.

Kind regards
