At the live link that M provided you can actually drill down to the exact date .. there is no charge to access the bdm online indexes provided by Qld bdm. You can use your plastic card to get the actual record downloaded.

Thank you all for such quick responses. I am now sure that I have the correct family and can move the search further back, probably to Scotland. I am grateful for you interest. isk
