Sarah Elizabeth HUNTER was born c1846 and died 1923 in Brisbane Qld age 77. Ref # B39721 her parents were John and Isabel HUNTER. Her age when she had Queenie 1898 would have had to had been 52 years?

I wonder Debra if William and Sarah were possibly estranged and he; William was living with his future bride ???

Could the 4th May 1922 have been a misprint ::) as I just did. The notice was placed in 1923. No loving daughter either. Umm late notification of her death on index ???

Sarah KNIBB's parents are given as James HUNTER and Isabel on the Qld death index, also states that she was born in Qld.

Possibly an earlier child for Sarah, before her marriage  :-\
QLd Death 1880   C2409   
Isabella HUNTER, mother: Sarah Elizabeth HUNTER ** born Queensland aged 1 month

Fantastic. Thanks you so much. I had been struggling to find out anything much about them. I can now continue my research to find out more about them.

Queenie Isabel Naomi King is the adopted daughter of William Casemore Knibbs and Sarah Elizabeth Hunter. Her parents are Frederick James King and Alice Naomi Berry. She was born and was raised in Mt Morgan. Queenie was adopted by family friends and remained close to her biological family.
