Yes, I did it that way. It wasn't too bad as there wasn't a huge number. *** The rest is Off Topic but of interest to users with Queensland research.
The reason I wanted to do it is that I just found out you can get the exact date if you don't know it by using the online BDMs which show only the year when you search. I have been doing this for a while with the New Zealand online BDMs, but didn't think to try it with the Qld ones. It is time consuming, but if you badly want to know and don't want to look at the microfiche somewhere, it can be done. Say you have a date of 1920. You put into the search boxes Search from 01/01/1920 to 31/12/1920 and Submit. Then break it down to 01/06/1920 - 31/12/1920 and if that still gets a result when you submit, change the month till you get no result; go back to the month with a result (Say 01/06/1920 - 30/06/1920) and start changing the days till you get a result of say, 16/06/1920-16/16/1920.

May take a fraction longer. I just tried my way again this time using Individual - Any Date - Before - 1893 AND Individual - Any Date - After - 1891 And the result included both those with dates such as 1892 and 16 May 1892 BUT you had to scroll the list to see which ones were without Day and Months. You may just have to eat that elephant one bite at a time.
