Hi Jackie,

I'm from Cairns but in Brisbane at the moment.

Part of my family history goes back to Charters Towers,  Ingham and Townsville.

Hi Jackie,
   I don't think you have to actually go in person to QLD library (well I didn't have to go to NSW state library).
You apply online and they mail it to you. 

  I wonder if Edgar James Gregory was still alive or even here in Australia or whether she just used her husband's name to legitimise the baby ...?  Can you find any trace of him here?

cheers,
   Ros

Looks like Annie AULT deserted Edgar GREGORY (there was mention in an earlier post about Arthur being a police officer):

Possibly Edgar James GREGORY died in WA:
