Maintenance notes
There are conflicting birth and death years across different sources and unable to determine if more than one Tommy George; the NLA authority record identifier records a life span of 1928 to 2016 but the Queensland family history research service records life span from 1930 to 1993; the 1966 document titled 'Certificates of Entitlement - Doomadgee', QSA ID - ITM2783585, from the Centre for Indigenous Family History Studies website, also records a birth year of 1930.
