George James DONALD & family Queensland

[~MERLIN~]

Just looked at the AEC for 1925 & he is listed with his wife Vera Augusta living in Townsville QLD AUS.

So that is his marriage in 1923 & for some reason the index has mirrored her details when you put his name in.

This is what it has on the index so that others can see what I am talking about.
I just searched for William Arthur Donald only on the marriage index

1923 #32162   Persson   Vara Augusta to Pearson   Vera Augusta

I have done this again in case I was seeing things but I am not

I would not think there would be an error like that but these things do happen

I have been looking on the web and have found some children to James DONALD and Mary Ellen (Helen) Hore (Hoare)

Walter John born 1852
Mary Born 1855
John born 1858
Bridget born 1861
James born 1864
George born 1865
Annie born 1898
Emma Born 1871

I can only find A registration for Walter John, John and Emma;s births on QLD BDM. I have also seen Waler John Nad John's births on NSW as well.

Would this mean that some of the births were not registered at all?

Also the only ones I have found a death for are Mary Donald under the surname HOLLINDALE in 1917  and John Donald in 1926 I think. I am finding it hard to find the others. Can any one else see them or any marriages for them please

Thank you so much

I have almost been glued to the computer today and have a major headache. This is doing me head in

Hi There,

I am now wondering if James and Mary went back to Rothiemay, Banff, Scotland with their family.

I see James died 1905 as his death is registered on the QLD BDM site but on the GR trees that i have looked at it says he died in his home country of Scotland. Mary died 1916. death registered on QLD BDM

Do I go looking for them in Scotland?

Can some one please advise me. I have searched QLD and NSW BDM for this family and have come up empty handed

Thanks for all your help

Hi newbe,  I am the ggg grandson of george donald who died in Coomera in 1889.  His youngest son (also George Donald) is my gg grandfather.  The family history has already been meticulously researched by a lady called Denise Cane and she has published a comprehensive book on same.  I have a photo of old George Snr.  Please advise if you wish more info and I will oblige.  The National Library of Australia website has a newspapers section.  You can find several articles regarding old George. Simply type "George Donald Coomera" into the search box.

Hi There,

A very warm welcome to rootschat. If you post 2 more times I will be able to send you my email address via the personal message system we have here.

I would love more info on this family as I do not have much at all. It is so great to meet a family member on here.

I am related through John Smith and Isabella Donald. They are my 3rd great grandparents

Isabella Smith is buried in Lawnton cemetery only about 20 mins from us.  Unfortunately the grave is unmarked. 

William Donald is my grandfather's (Norman Victor Donald) brother.  He was an electrician in Brisbane, Townsville and finally residing in Nambour Qld.  Bill had two children, John and Elwyn.  John was killed during WW2 in a Halifax bomber crash off the cost of Scotland.  Elwyn never married and only died a couple of years ago in Sydney.

James Donald from Coomera never went back to Scotland. Here is a newspaper article regarding his death.

REgards,  Jim
