It's funny how things can be right under your nose but until you get that one piece of info the connections aren't made.

The update.

Found a court record for Margaret Corney in Townsville for insolvency in 1896, had her listed as a widow. Then found a court record relating to Margaret Corney in Townsville about her late husband George Corney Foreman of Works Townsville who died 1893 his profession, Colonial Architect
So I looked up Queensland BDM and it has his parents names listed as Charles Corney and Charlotte Smith.
I knew I had seen those names before and there they were 1861 census IOW living in Burnels Alley, East Cowes with George age 12

So the death cert has been ordered to confirm results and the hunt beings for info about Charles and  Charlotte

Second husband is George Osborne Corney.
Now on her Death cert it has the place as Brisbane, Queensland however it is not on the QLD or NSW Indexes which covers that timeframe. So maybe they were married in Isle of Wight or not officially married.

Only child listed on her death Cert is George.O.R.L Corney

And thanks for the previous info.

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.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for any info that may be linked to my G.G.Grandmother Margaret Hazlett.

My info comes from her death certificate, she passed away in Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia in 1919 her married name at the time was Corney.
Her age was 76 which would make d.o.b about 1843 in Enniskillen.
Father John Hazlett a farmer, Mother first name Margaret.
Also on the Cert was a marriage to a John Lyetel in Enniskillen.

By 1871 she had left Ireland and was in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, England giving birth to my G.Grandfather George Osborne Robert Lawrence Corney and my earliest record of her in Australia is 1903 in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia

Thanks in advance for any info that helps fill the gaps.  ;D
