MAWBEY FAMILY AUSTRALIA - Queensland

In Queensland, the surname spelling 'Mawby' prevails. There are no 'Mawbey' births deaths and marriages registered before 1920. There are two Mawbey deaths registered, in 1932 and 1951, of a son and his father born in England. They were John Oliver and Henry Thomas Mawbey who both arrived in 1921 with the boy's mother and older brother. There is however, a pioneer 'Mawby' family whose forbear was Lawrence Mawby of Lincolnshire whose son, Robert, was well known in Townsville.

MAWBY'S METROPOLITAN HOTEL IN TOWNSVILLE

I've just found a photo on Picture Australia of Mawby's Metropolitan Hotel after Cyclone Sigma, January 1896.
How exciting!
A perfect present for me on AUSTRALIA DAY 2012.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to all my Aussie followers.
