Alice was born in Cairns Dec 1877. Her mother Mary was a cousin of Rudyard Kipling. Also any info on George Wilkinson would be appreciated.

Hi,

I don't have the Queensland BDM index, but you can ask for a look-up with the Queensland Family History Society at:

http://www.qfhs.org.au/e-research.htm

They are very competent researchers, have a quick turnaround, and only ask for a donation for their services. 

The Society's library is very extensive, including BDM indexes, electoral rolls, an extensive cemetery record collection, etc.  They should be able to find something for you.

Regards, Brisgirl

The latter two don't appear in birth records??? Perhaps they were born in another state/country?

Alice married Alfred Atkinson 29 Jun 1901  1901/ 000274
I found 4 children to 1912 - Do you need these ?  Let me know if you want the details.

Did Mary die in Queensland? I didn't find a death pre 1914, but fiche are available to about 1960 at libraries etc. Her death certificate should specify her parents, and where she was born, which would help to find the Kipling connections
