    Default The Gallagher and Margetts Families

    I am trying to help my grand-daughter flesh out her Mother's families for five generations.
    Her Mother, born 1959, married my son, in 1986
    Her Grandfather, Micheal Joseph was born in 1919 in Queensland and died in 2009. He was a medico. His Dad was also Michael Joseph and a doctor in Mackay Queensland Australia
    Her Grandmother, Margaret Dell Margetts was born in 1929 and died in 1998.

    Can anyone help with earlier members and some dates?

    Thanks

    Hi rasmusseneric, the Qld Bdm's only go up to 1914 at moment, and the only one that I can find in the Queensland BDM's that seems to fit is this one from 1910.
    Births.1910/C12624. Joseph Michael Gallagher, father's name Joseph Michael, mothers name Hannah Taylor, is this the right one.

    Hi Hugh,

    I don't think so. I was a bit short in my details which makes it hard.

    MY grand-daughter has a school exercise for Grade 9 - find 5 generations of your family.
    Her maternal G'pa Michael Joseph Gallagher was born in 1919 according to has daughter, Margot.
    This would make Michael's Dad, also Michael Joseph, being born say around 1895 to 1900
    The family has a rule that the first male is always called Michael Joseph

    Thanks for trying

    Hi again,

    You are spot on. I spoke to Margot and she remembers the surname Carroll.
    Can I get the details like you can - I am a novice as you can see.
    Does the reference give more details?

    That's all the detail that you get from the index, you'd have to order the certs from the same site to find out more, I'll have a scratch around and see if there's any more.

    Shipping wise Eric, there are six possible listings for Michael Gallagher arriving in Brisbane, from 1874 to 1886 in the assisted immigrants passenger lists for Brisbane, (Web address below) the 1886 one can't be him so it must be one of the others, either of two in 1874, two in 1883, or one in 1884.
    And there are three possibles for Kate Carroll's arrival in the assisted immigrants passenger lists for Brisbane, in 1874, 1878 and 1884.
    Hugh.
    The address for the Queensland State Archives is,
