Hugh,

If you have a direct connection with Gilbert you could request a copy of his service records which may shed more light on him?
Australian Service Records are intact & available for a modest fee.

Regards

Jim

There is a Gilbert Mackenzie Steveley aged 0 buried with two other babes in the Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane. Buried 11/12/1946. Despite the spelling, the name seems too similar to dismiss. (It seems a little strange however that the 3 children in the grave were all buried on the same day

)

I did check Toowoomba Cemetery without success
http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/

Because of the crazy laws here, births post 1918 in Qld are not easily available. Marriage records are available until about 1939 but post 1914 are only available on fiche. These are at libraries and LDS centres - in 4 year blocks - searching can take awhile. Deaths are similar - hence the Cemetery searching is very useful.

There are a couple of private crematoriums in Brisbane who do not have online records. If you cannot find your folk any other way this is a possibility.

I'll browse a little more

There is also an Anne Jane Stevely buried 4 May 1954 aged 73 at Balmoral Cemetery. It could be worth looking for a death/funeral notice if you think this may be a relative.

The grave search is a little annoying as you have to put at least 1 letter in the given name - so I'll leave you to check through the alphabet

I forgot to ask - Do you know the name of your man's parents. Death indexes in Australia usually contain parent names (sometimes 1st names sometimes all names)

Hi Trish.
Well done that will be Gilbert -- it could be his wife or one of his Grandson ,s or was there more? Fathers name Hugh --Mothers name Janet Stevely Stevenston Ayrshire Scotland -- the only info i have on him is when he left Australia on the Seanang- Choon 1916 and was wounded by a shell blast to the eyes came back on the Omonde 1917 and over land to Bribane he was a lucky man before he came back as the Seanang Choon was sank by a e-Boat of the coast of Ireland and the other Ship the Persic he came back on was also hit by a e-boat after he left it-- thanks for your info will update you if i get any more news.
Hugh.

Hi Trish and all,
Gilbert Stevely age 0 is in a Hospital Grave --Probably a stillborn baby the 2 other babys are not related.
The Applicant for Anne Jane Stevely was from the Dalby Location that is all i can find at the moment.
