You could try checking this:

Australia, Queensland Cemetery Records, 1802-1990 .

Google the above and then enter Davey and see what comes up. There are quite a few so may be helpful, but time consuming.

Good luck

thank you for the above information..i have been online and they only release records once a person has been dead for 30yrs..I did a search for her up to 1986 with no hits which makes me think she was still alive in 1986 and if she is like her younger
sister (who lived to be nearly 99yrs old) then i am in for along wait..sorry i didn't reply earlier i have only just seen your reply

thank you so very much for this information, family had said that Florence and daughter had come to NZ to live and that heather attended school in NZ (boarding school) I have all the passenger records but as she sometimes travelled under the name of Phyllis it was getting very confusing.. My mother is the only living cousin left and she will be so thrilled to receive this information. I have located a death for Heather Daphne Livesey in Brisbane - this person has the same dob as our heather (1921) so i am just waiting for confirmation that it is our heather and hopefully she has listed her mothers name..once again thank you so much. regards Kerry :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Update from my last post on Florence Minnie Davey. Florence M Davey married George Glenmore Sheppard around 1914..Florence went on to have a daughter to a Walter John Livesey (daughter: Heather Daphne Livesey dob: 1921) I have had it confirmed that George Glenmore Sheppard went onto father 4 children with his 2nd wife who was French. I cannot find a divorce for them. Florence M Sheppard (nee Davey) has listed her name on her daughters birth cert as Phyllis Livesey (she never married her daughters father) I have found on the 1962 Electors Roll a Phyllis Emery living with a H.D Livesey at 4 Abbots Park but then in the 1964 electors it only lists H.D Livesey as living at 4 Abbots Park. I looked back and found a Phyllis Emery living with a George Frank Emery in 1938 living at 60 Aberdare Gardens Camden (not sure if this is my great aunt or not but I am rather hopeful that it is my gt aunt living with her daughter in 1962.
Can anyone find a marriage for Phyllis to a George Frank Emery or a death for Phyllis Emery between 1962 - 1964.
This great aunt of mine was a very colourful person all her alias names.
Any help would be great as I am now hitting a brick wall. I have found a death for a Heather Daphne Livesey in Brisbane 2009 who has the same dob as our Heather Daphne so I am hoping it is our Heather-will have this confirmed next week.
thank you in advance.

Sadly the above baptism isn't one of mine as mother is listed as Mary Ann. They had Florence Minnie Davey baptised in Sept 1891. They only had 4 children with my nana being the youngest.
Would you able to search the 1911 census, as you discovered there is some sort of name change for Gladys Beatrice Davey (Baptised as Alice Beatrice Davey) I have found William james, margaret Ellen, Florence Minnie Davey on the 1911 census. Mary Jane & William James Davey only son William Edward Davey (known as Teddy in the family) i think was in the united states at the time of the 1911 census but i have not been able to find Mary Jane Davey and her youngest child Gladys Beatice (or Alice Beatrice) Davey..
My mother was very surprised when i told her of your fantastic discovery today... :-)

how wonderful and very interesting...on her birth cert she is Gladys Beatrice and she was known all her life as Gladys but this does put a wonderful twist on it as i agree with you about the name change. I bet she would be in the 1911 census with Mary Jane as Alice Beatrice Davey not Gladys as i have searched but have been unable to locate her.. Mary Jane Davey is proving to be a interesting.
thank you for the date of baptism for Margaret as she was born out of wedlock and Mary jane disowned her own grandchildren born out of wedlock very interesting i think and the plot thickens..
thank you so much...

I have found Alice Beatrice Davey born 11th Feb 1902 baptised 28th Sep 1902
parents William James Davey (bill poster) and Mary Jane Davey

Hackney St.Peter

Margaret Ellen Davey baptised April6th 1883 parents William James Davey (bill poster) Mary Jane Davey
Haggerstone All Saints Hackney

slightly confusing as on freebmd
Gladys Beatrice Davey
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Hackney
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex

so did they change her name or were there 2

I would go for the name change as everything else fits

William and Mary Jane Davey also had a daughter Gladys Beatrice Davey born Hackney 1902, would someone mind awfully to try and find a baptisim for her and also if they can find Mary Jane Davey and Gladys Beatrice Davey on the 1911 census. I have tried to find them but cannot locate them, i have found in the 1911 census William James davey, florence Minnie Davey and William Edward davey.
Mary Jane Davey is not listed with her husband (possibly seperated) as in 1913 Mary Jane Davey and her youngest child Gladys Beatrice came to New Zealand to live leaving her remaining 3 grown up children in the UK.. :-)
