Gordon Blair - Mystery? or Not!

[OZScot]

JM, her parents both died before the 1987 cut off date.

Thanks.

Are you sure they died in Qld?   

Have you contacted Qld BDM to ask for assistance in locating the registrations?

There are known flaws in most of the BDM online indexes covering the various Australian states/territories.  Some have been discussed previously at RChat on the Australia board.

I've been waiting a week already to the answers of these approx or actual death date questions from the Mother and the daughter said she had some answers from her written down on a piece of paper but now she has lost it. !!!

Mother remember's them being buried in Ipswich only, hence my back and forth with them. They sent me attached snip along with other related burials. See where they couldn't get it either - maybe back then? and I couldn't now.

So now I wait again. This has been the process all along. She may have an age of them hopefully.

In this cutting, for Henry Gordon BLAIR's death/funeral, I think you may find that your friend's mum is mentioned using the initials for her given names, and in contrast to other family members, there's no mention of her husband.

Whilst it's her Maternal Grandfather 'Harry' she and or her initials are not mentioned.

Thanks.

Yes it's her mother but this person's name isn't on there I was referring to. I'm trying to keep from naming her and giving any clues to her identity as you know she's still alive.

This cutting may add some sadness to part of Isabella Margaret O'Connor's marriage. 

Yes, I realised there's something amiss re some of the grandchildren in that HG Blair cutting, and that was part of why I was so very careful in how I had worded my post :

It was your reply that confused me

Anyway, sorted now.

Does anyone know, is there a way to get access to the information in these records?
What level of detail is recorded about patients?

It would definitely be worth sending a quick email to ask the question. I don't know what is likely to be included in the records but one of our Scottish rootschatters may do.

It might be worth starting a new thread with a specific lookup request and hopefully one of the kind Glasgow based rootschatters might volunteer their services.

Added: rememeber to provide a link to this thread if you start any related threads.
