A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Queensland Who Chose To Be Featured
406. PaulDowdell : my mother gave birth to a boy at Boothville maternity hospital in Brisbane in 1963 or 1964, run by the Salvation Army.
her name was Beverly Anne Williamson born 10/07/1944 and the father was most likely listed as unknown (though we now do have that information) She named the child Derek and he was put out for adoption 3 days after his birth where she then returned to nsw.
After my mums passing this information saw the light of day, hence my search.
410. Lisalittlewood31 : I was born in Rockhampton my mother and father are from Mackay. I have found my birth mother. The only name I was given was Paul Comoletti
411. Jasmine_McPhail85 : I am searching for my fathers Biological Mother - She placed my father for adoption in Brisbane in 1958, her name was Margaret Mary Oliver, was 18 years old from Innisfail with the listed occupation as a cleaner. The original birth certificate states she was British and that her parents were divorced. She listed my dads Biological father as 21 years old, Greek Decent and was a teacher also in the Innisfail area. It is unclear if the father was aware she was pregnant and placed the baby for adoption.
Margaret Mary Oliver named my dad Phillip however this was changed by his adoptive parents.
