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.
