Also in relation to Alan Gil, a livestream of his funeral confirms he was born on 16 August 1938 in Mourilyan (near Innisfail), Qld, and his death date was 19 March 2025. His full name was Alan Michael Gil

I have update Alan Gil in the FNQ teams and added his DOB, any idea if the N Gill in the 1966/67 FNQ team is a relation and should be also spelt Gil with the one L?

[Max Turner]

Yes, I think F Gill and N Gill were his brothers Frank (1) and Neil (2, 3), so their surname should be Gil with one 'L' as well.

Alan's death date is still showing to me as 4 April 2025, which was when it was announced by the QRL. The funeral livestream showed his death was quite a bit earlier, on 19 March 2025.

Thanks Max I have fixed the DOD and also update Frank & Neil and added the family link as brothers.
