Hi inhlmj
Queensland BDMs births online only go to 1914 so can't look there.
No death of Dennis up to 1964 in Qld. (limit of availability)
Do you have any other info?  Christian names?
Have you searched newspapers for birth notices?
Any idea of where in Brisbane they may have lived?
Dennis's occupation?
