Hi Shanreagh thanks for your message . Yes , it is certainly an interesting story . Me & my cousins have never actually had any Byrne matches . I have found many Byrne families in Gympie & researched them , but it has really all come to nothing . I found through Electoral Rolls that Charles & Annie Hanson we’re actually separated from 1904 to when he died in 1920 . Charles lived in Townsville . Sadly he died in the Brisbane River loading a ship. My father would not have been easily fooled , so I can only go on what he told me . To further add to this mystery our Grandmother had a daughter in 1924 in Nambour , father unknown & again no Birth Certificate . Her daughter married & the two cousins helping me are that lady’s daughters . We are hopeful of finding my cousins Grandfather also . Matt
