Hi Cando

Quoting the certificate.

Ive just emailed the Church about possible baptisms as a starting point.

Hi Cando

Ive just contacted the genealogical society as well.

Just be aware that research by genealogical societies involves fees.

Luckily I don't gamble as I would have bet on the Rockampton Agnes who married Tustain, but it doesn't look that way now.

I do now think that there were 3 Agnes McMahons having illegitimate children.

1. The Agnes who was from Victoria and the mother of William Wallace. She died as Agnes McCartney and was buried with her son. Modified: the Agnes Mccartney who died in 1932 was aged 82 so too old to be the mother

2. Agnes who was the mother of Kevin Hamilton, Ellen May, William Frederick and Vivian Promethues. She subsequently married George Martin and went on to have more children.

3. Agnes who was the mother of William b. 1910 and Eileen b. 1911. She subsequently married Mr Trustain and went on to have more children.

To the question of "How many Agnes McMahon's were born in Aramac and having illegitimate children?" reminds me of a family from my childhood, 3 brothers each gave one of their daughters the same christian name. The girls were all at school together!

I certainly am leaning towards option 2 being the correct one. Some great work by everyone to find as much as you have.

Apart from having ordered the marriage certificate for Ellen May McMahon and Thomas Smith and
Contacting the St Marys Church about the baptisms of Agnes children and
Contacting the QLD Genealogical society about the baptisms of Agnes children

What should I put on my shortlist to order or research? Is there any benefit in getting death certificates of Agnes and George Martin?

[Jennaya]

I think the death certificates could be worthwhile. However, they are only as accurate as the knowledge of the person giving the information.  Perhaps it would be better to get the certificate of the person (Agnes or George) who died first as the other would be the informant. Possibly would know more than the children.
