Hi all

 

My great Grandmother came to australia between 1887 and 1882. She married John McPaul somewhere in Queensland and died at the North Star Hotel at the 20 Mile Camp outside Richmond, Queensland.

 

Kate was 30 years old when she died on the 7 May 1889 according to her death certificate.. This would sugest she was born about 1859.  She had 2 children , John Clarence and Mary Jane. Her death certificate also stated she was born in Tipperary,Ireland and her father was a butter merchant by the name of Michael Walsh. He mothers surname "O'Brien" was all that was on the certificate. It also states Kate had been in Queensland 12 years and was 22 when she was married.

 

Mary Jane's birth certificate states he parents were married in Rockhampton on the 20th December 1878. I can not find a marriage certificate for John and Kate, nor can I find a Birth Certificate for John Clarence.

 

I would appriciate any help I could get.  I have looked for birth certificates for Kate and her mother and father.  I have also looked for a marriage certificate for michael walsh and ? o'brien.

Thanking you all

Lots of love
