Looking for James Elliott

Looking for James Elliott

Surnames: Elliott
Trying to find great grandfather James Elliott. The first record I have of him is his daughters Birth Certificate that states his names as James Elliott age 25 years (daughter born 1881) born Devonshire England. Daughter (Mary Sarah) born Hughenden Queensland. I have found him in the 1925 Electoral Roll in Hughenden but can find no trace of him after this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jenny,

I am not related.

Do you have any more info, such as:
Who did Mary Sarah ELLIOTT (b. 1881) marry?
Where did Mary Sarah ELLIOTT marry?
When did her mother Mary KENNA / ELLIOTT die?

When and where did Mary Sarah ELLIOTT die?

I found this death, which occurred after two men were fighting:

1903 C158 James Elliott William Elliott Ann Jane Faulkes

Trove search words, for this death....

"james Elliott quarrelled at"

Mary,

I have found the Death of James Elliott. He died in Charters Towers in 1937. I have a copy of this Certificate and it shows Mary McKenna as wife (even though they never married) and child Mary Sarah.

I did not know anything about another child James. You stated he died in 1885 did you find a birth for him.

Hi Jenny,

I could not find a birth for James (Jun) ELLIOTT. His death cert in 1885, would show how old the child was, which would give you a time frame to search for his birth.

Maybe his birth was registered as McKENNA?
