Hi

Sorry for not answering straight away -- the certs I sent were obtained by me back in 1981 from the Registry of BD&M in Sydney.  I believe they are the original Birth and Marriage Certs.  I keep coming back to the Marriage Certificate of my Great Grandparents Deikelmann/Janson knowing that those are the exact names on my Grandmothers marriage  and birth certificates.

These I believe to be correct and this is of course my starting point.  Thought I was no the right track but now there seems to be a whole lot of question marks.  I know that Eliza (otherwise known as Dolly) did remarry a Dalton but it is Eliza's parents I really want to know about.   Boy oh boy this gets complicated.

I hava attached these certs for you to see (hope I am doing this right)

Regards

Thank for all your help.  Perhaps you can see my problem.  Just when I think I have the right George Janson and Eliza I begin to question again too.

I have attached copies of the IKIN documents I have.  Hope this may shed some light.

Many thanks again,  I really do value you opinion.

I am  very new to this so please bear with me ... I am looking for information onEliza Jane Janson's parents. 

Eliza's marriage cert states she was wed on 1 December 1890 in Sydney to Charles Henry Diekelmann from Hamburg.

Eliza's parents were George Janson and Eliza Rankin -- so any information on both of them would be appreciated.

Charles parents will be I would suspect much harder they are Frederick August Diekelmann (Piano Maker) and Henrietta Wineke.  I have tried looking on many German sites but to no avail.

Not sure if you are able to assist, however any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I thought I was onto the right track but unfortunately I don't think I was.

I obtained a lot of certificates back in 1981 and I think I may have been given Certificates for the wrong Eliza Jane.  I have been tracing with great success the surname IKIN wwhich I think now maybe wrong.

Thank you in anticipation, Sue

I have an update but don't seem to be able to go any further after days of searching.

From the marriage certificate in Sydney Australia, dated 1 December 1890 of Charles Henry Diekelmann born Hamburg, Seaman. aged 26 and Eliza Jane Janson born Pyrmont Sydney aged 22 I now know that his father was Fredrick (or Frederick)(difficult to read) August Diekelman Piano maker and his mother was Henrietta Wineke.

They were married at the Scotts Church Jamieson Street, Sydney

Unfortunately the copy of the Marriage Certificate is not of good quality.

I have tried to search for Both Fredrick August Diekelman and Henrietta Wineke on german databases as listed above but to no avail.

Thank you all once again for the above information.

Any more suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards, Sue

Thank you everyone who gave me some very valuable information. WOW WOW WOW!  I am still learning and loving it!

Kind of just as confused now.  You see I now know that Carl (Charles) Diekelmann married Eliza Jane Janson on 1 Dec 1890 at Scotts Church Jamieson Street Sydney.

In 1894 my Grandmother Erna Dorothy Diekelman was born.  I also think she had a sister Frieda

Carl Diekelman died in South Africa 7 May 1897

Now I believe Eliza Jane Janson (Diekelman) remarried a Dalton I think his name was Charles. 

I have no idea who Dolly Diekelmann is - perhaps Carl remarried or perhaps Dolly was a nickname for Eliza?   

My search continues I now have Eliza's parents who are Eliza Rankin and a George Janson (would you believe it) born in Italy...think I may have gone as far as I can with George Janson.
Thank you all once again and any advice is really valuable to me
