Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for any Info that maybe out there about my G.Grandfather George Corney.
My info comes from his death and marriage certificates.
Firstly his full name is George Osborne Robert Lawrence Corney, he also went by the name Robert Lawrence Corney.
He passed away in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1953 at the age of 82
Which would make his d.o.b. about 1871 East Cowes, IOW. On his marriage Cert it has Queens Estate, East Cowes, IOW
Father: George Osborne Corney an Architect. Mother: Margaret Hazlett born Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland ~1841
I am aware of Margaret and Robert moving to Australia but I'm not sure about George Snr
the earliest date I have of them in Australia is 1903, Margaret in Charters Towers, QLD and Robert in Cloncurry, QLD.
This is where he married Mattie Kirby in 1909, by 1919 they had moved to Chillagoe / Tumoulin area in North Queensland where they had 3 children Mattie Margaret Catherine (Smith) (1910), Gladys (1914 died as an infant) and George Lawrence(1916)
Thanks in advance for any info that may help fill the gaps.
