Research note

• 3 Dec 2018 - I found a death record in Qld at https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/ for BERYL IRENE COLVIN, Date of death: 11Sep 1983, Date of birth: 1915, Mother: ROSIE BETSON, Father: is blank

• - This I believe ties in with the Qld birth record, but obviously means that Beryl had a 2nd marriage to ? COLVIN. (Qld Online Marriage records currently only go to 1943).

• - May I suggest that if the above is correct then I believe that Beryl died in Queensland in 1983, not at Tamworth in 1981.

• 3 Dec 2018 - THE NSW Online Death index for the death of BERYL IRENE MILLER in 1981, registration no. 101816/1981, has parents as HAROLD and FLORRIE JANE, which does not match up with Beryl's birth record details which says her Mother was ROSIE BETSON and Father is blank.
