George James DONALD & family Queensland
« on: Thursday 14 January 10 23:26 GMT (UK) »
Does any one know if my 4th x great grandfather would have a headstone at Upper Coomera Cemetery.

His name is George James Donald died 20/1/1889 buried 21/1/1889 I am not sure if his wife Ann Donald nee Johnstone/Johnston is buried with him or not as I have not been able to find her on the BDM site for deaths. I have no idea who her parents are.

They came out from Rothiemay, Banff, Scotland and helped to build Darling Harbour from what I have been told.  I am not sure when they arrived in Australia

They had the following children
Ann Donald 1819-1889
James Donald 1821-1905
Margaret Donald 1823-1906
Walter Donald 1825-1896
Mary Donald 1827-1894
Isabella Donald 1829-1922 my 3rd great grandmother
Jane Donald 1829-1919 (Isabella and Jane were twins)
George Donald 1832-1881

Thank for your help

I have more info on the other children but not much

Will post other details soon

Cheers

Hello Newbe,

There are no MI's for the name DONALD at Upper Coomera Cemetery, perhaps if they had headstones they no longer exsist.

However there are some for your BINSTEAD family:

Binstead, Annie, d. 18 Jul 1930, aged 87yrs, s/w William Binstead (husband)
Binstead, Aris, d. 4 Jul 1968, aged 69yrs, s/w Thomas Charles Binstead (husband)
Binstead, Arthur, d. 1 Oct 1926, aged 79yrs, s/w Harriet Ann Binstead
Binstead, Harriet Ann, d. 24 Jul 1927, aged 73 yrs, s/w Arthur Binstead
Binstead, Mary, d. 10 Nov 1894, aged 66yrs, s/w William Binstead (husband)
Binstead, Thomas Charles, d. 12 Oct 1952, aged 59yrs, s/w Aris Binstead (wife)
Binstead, William, d. 23 Jul 1903, aged 82yrs, s/w Mary Binstead (wife)
Binstead, William, d. 31 Jan 1920, aged 79yrs, s/w Annie Binstead (wife)

These come courtesy of Judy Dickson who transcribed the exsisting MI's in at the cemetery in 2006.

Thanks so much for the photos

Does anyone had the BDM CD that has bates of births, deaths and marriages. Would make it a bit easier that going through the QLD one month by month
