Re: Forse family

In Reply to: Forse family by Christine Thomas of 1742

There is a Henry Forse on the bdm index who died in 1929 - parents given as Francis Forse and Elizabeth Williams - this may be the Henry in question.

The family is on the electoral roll at Prosperine

1913 Herbert Bowen
Forse Bridget, Myrtle Creek Prosperine, housewife
Forse Francis George, Mountain view farm, Prosperine, farmer
Forse Henry, Myrtle Creek, Prosperine Farmer
Forse, Henry James, Myrtle Creek, Prosperine Farmer
Forse John Myrtle Creek, Prosperine Farmer
Forse William Henry Myrtle Creek, Prosperine Farmer

Henry and Bridget (& some of the children) remain in 1919, and 1925. No sign of Henry in 1930 (but Bridget is still on the roll - living with 2 sons at Lillyvale, Bowen), so the 1929 death is probably him. If he left a will, it would include a copy of his death certificate. The online index, unfortunately only goes to 1915. Buying a will from the Qld archives is much easier and cheaper than buying a certificate from the registry.
