Greetings, my 2nd great-grand father Alfred Hughes
DOB1843 DOD 1903
BIRTH ABT. DEC 1843 Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia
DEATH 22 APRIL 1903 Cabramatta, Mt, Gravatt, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Alfred married Deborah Hayes/Train on 4 Dec 1877 South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
They had 4 children before he married Deborah, poor woman.
1871 birth daughter I can't find, I don't think she survived
1873 birth son I can't find, I don't think he survived
I believe they were both born in Margaret Street, Brisbane.
OK down the issues:
When Alfred and Deborah married they both were widows.
Alfred came up from Paramatta Sydney, I can't find his first wife.
I would love to find the purchase of the land in Margaret Street Brisbane and Charlotte Street Brisbane where they had all things horse equipment shops and I think livery.
They eventually moved to Mt Gravatt and purchased a lot of land.
It is the beginning I am interested in.
How do you find out when someone arrived in QLD from NSW?
How do I find land purchases?
How do I find missing wives and if there were any other children?
I can't find Alfred's birth certificate no matter how much I try.
Many thanks Janice
