Heath: Abraham and Drusilla

[jkitchin]

Hello all

I am looking for information on the above couple who, I believe, emigrated to Brisbane between 1881 and 1885. Drusilla's maiden name was Wardle and they originate from the Staffs/Worcs area.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Jean

Hi

do you have information for the marriage and census before they left England, or are you searching for information from when they emigrated.

Many thanks to Trish and Ozzy Bob

Nutty - yes I have the marriage thanks. I was looking for info post their emigration.


I have just been following through the information you kindly sent me. Are these records online anywhere are are they from the Queensland CD ROM?

I have found the burial information for Abraham and Drusilla Heath and in the same grave in Toowong Cemetery there is:

William Harold Heath buried 02/01/1998 age 83 years; and
Stanley Bernard Heath buried 26/03/1925 age 6 years

I wondered if there was anywhere I could check for their births?

Many thanks

hi Jean,
I have the CD's from BDM's here in QLD thats where I got most of the from 1829 to 1914

there is some sites but I do not know them sorry.

Hi Jean

The BDM data is from CDs - there is nothing online for Qld. If you are in Australia your local LDS centre and most state libraries / gen societies etc would have a copy of the Qld BDM fiche. Births are available to 1919 (I think), marriages to 1939 and deaths to 1964 - so you might just get your births on the fiche.

Do you have access to a state library - if your folks are buried at Toowong, there is probably a funeral notice in the Courier Mail - this would give family names & may help to find living descendants (via the white pages) if you are interested in same. (Unfortunately the online CM index  (part of the Ryerson Index) only starts in 2000)
