Anne Thomas (nee Brohan)
Hello, my sister and I would be ecstatic to find information of our great grandmothers family and relatives. We believe she came from Monmore, Ireland, and was born Ann Brohan. She married James Thomas in Australian, and lived in Alton Downs in Northern Queensland, then Rockhampton, then Brisbane. We have found her grave in Nudgee Cemetery. She died 1929. We cannot find a marriage certificate or names of her parents.
I am also trying to contact cousins who are possibly living. They are sons of my Uncle Joseph John Thomas, deceased, and formerly. They lived in MONA Vale, NSW, and their names are Parry and Evan Thomas. Their mothers name was Ada Mary Baxter. They had a sister Bobbie, who married and moved to USA. She died not long after having her first and only child, probably in the 1950s or 1960s. Her married name was Grover or similar. Evan Thomas married Rosemary Quested. I'm told Evan was a schoolteacher but he would likely be retired now.
I would be so grateful for any help. Thank you.
