Looking for Rowe in QLD
My fathers name was Ross Anthony, born to Frank and Madia Rowe (Mondes)in Mackay. Frank was born in Kuridala QLD in 1913 to Owen and Clara Rowe (patten). After 18 months, this is where the story ends, like they just appeared on Earth. Can anyone help ?

Here are some possibilities

BIRTHS:

1912/C2615 Frank Rowe Owen Clara Patten ( m: Maida Monds in 1935)
1913/C2839 Agnes Rowe Owen Clara Patten
Although the children were born 1910, 1912, 1913 I see the marriage was not registered in Queensland until 1923;
Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950

Marriage Place: Queensland

Thankyou so much for your help.This gives me someway to start.Thankyou again.
Interesting to Note that the children were also registered as Patten with no fathers name recorded, same registration numbers, possibly amended after the marriage in 1923.
1910/C2578 Evelyn Mavis Patten Clara Patten
1912/C2615 Frank Patten Clara Patten
1913/C2839 Agnes Patten Clara Patten
That is interesting asheppard. I think the best course of action for you skid would be, firstly, to buy Clara's death and marriage certificates.
Hi,
