William and Minnie Ottermiller
« on: Tuesday 17 March 26 02:15 GMT (UK) »
was searching through information on Find my Grave and found a William Ottermiller died 18 Nov 1895 age 65 and is  buried in the Gayndah Cemetery, and a Minnie Ottermiller  buried Nov 1885 in the Gayndah cemetery , I have look on BDM and could not find their death listed there, where do I go to find out who their parent's where , I thought that Minnie would be a daughter of Henry Ottermiller but have always been told he never married
wait your response in this
cheers
Tom

Findagrave has Minnie’s burial date as "1882-Nov1885", so could “Minnie” be as follows?:
Wilhelmina Ottermiller, death date 5 Dec 1884, daughter of Henry Ottermiller and Wilhelmina Kreiger
FYI I suspect that she might have been born as Wilhelmina Uttermiller in 1866


PS
Strangely, there is also an 18 Nov 1898 death for a Wilhelmina Ottermillar, daughter of Henrig Ottermillar and Wilhelmina Kreiger …
PPS
I suspect that Wilhelmina d 1998 was actually the mother of Wilhelmina d 1884, as she was 65y: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GTHY-WFV?i=2852

I just realised that there is a 65y old William who dies on 18 Nov 1898: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G922-PQXT?i=264

And then there is the death registration for the previously mentioned Wilhelmina who also dies on 18 Nov 1898 ...


Could it be that William or maybe Wilhelm has lost an "A" (and a few more letters) .... :-)

This william could not be the son of Heinrich and Wilhelmina as he was born before they married in 1857 , if you take 65 off the death date it brings you to 1833

Don't you think that it is a bit suspicious that there is 65y William and a 65y Wilhelmina (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/174176546/wilhelmina-ottermiller) who both died on 17 Nov 1898?
But, there is only a Wilhelmina mentioned in the QLD death index? And yes, who ever registered the death might have got the parents wrong ... (and this is what had originally confused me)

I agree with TreeSpirit, that it is the same person.

There appear to be 2 copies of the same cemetery record, and maybe this is the source of the 2 different names.

(Hand written – possibly the original) 
Wilhmina Ottermiller
Buried 18 Nov 1898
65 yrs
Gayndah

(Typed – possibly mistranscription from original hand writing)
William Ottermiller
Buried 18 Nov 1898
65 yrs
Gayndah


If you look at the Gayndah Cemetery (not Find a Grave)
There is only 1 grave – Wilhemnia Ottermiller
https://map.chronicle.rip/Gayndah_Cemetery




Milligan - Jardine – Glencross – Dinwoodie - Brown: (Dumfriesshire & Kirkcudbrightshire)
Clark – Faulds – Cuthbertson – Bryson – Wilson: (Ayrshire & Renfrewshire)
Neale – Cater – Kinder - Harrison: (Warwickshire & Queensland)
Roberts - Spry: (Cornwall, Middlesex & Queensland)
Munster: (Schleswig-Holstein & Queensland) and Plate: (Braunschweig, Neubruck & Queensland & New York)

Just letting you known that Wilhemina who was born in 1866 died on the 5th December 1884
this Minnie died on Nove 1885 could that be a mistake or what
