Hi,
I'm searching for the birth date of my great grand mother. Her name was Deborah Bowler and according to her death certificate was born in Toowoomba, Qld.
Her rough birth date is around 1877, well after the Queensland registrations were made compulsory. I've made many searches through Qld BDM with no luck. I've left off christian names, allowed any bastardisation of Bowler imaginable, left any town/city off the search, all to no avail. I've also searched through Ancestry.com. Still no luck.
Her father was a very devout Irish Catholic. Is it possible her birth/christening was only done through a church? Even if the answer is yes, I have no idea which church, diocese or whatever to start with, even to get christening records.
As the title suggests, where can I now go to attempt to find her birth details? ANY skerrick of a thread will be helpful.
Many thanks
