AUHL genealogy in Australia
« on: Monday 28 June 10 22:16 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm interested in hearing from anyone researching the family history of Heinrich Christian Auhl who married Sophia Dorothia Bitter in Klemzig Adelaide soon after their arrival on the President Smidt from Bremen Germany in 1848.  Heinrich and Sophia went on to have several children and in the 1860's they moved along with a lot of other families over to the Albury/Wodonga area and settled.

Regards

Gerry

Hi Gerry

I have a LANGE connection who married into the AUHL family and a descendent in my branch kindly sent me a family tree of the entire AUHL family.
Rather too much info to go into any detail on this forum.

Hi Essie,

Thanks for the reply.

From my research I believe that Johann Otto AUHL was born at Klemzig in Adelaide on 6th Jan 1849 and married Anna Juliane Pauline Lange either in 1876 or 1878.

I have a direct ancestry line with Johann's Henry Auhl who was born in Adelaide on 2nd Jul 1851 he married  Louise Ottilie Pfeiffer in Wodonga in 1877.

The parents of Johann, Henry and other children were Heinrich Christian Auhl and Sophia Dorothea Bitter whom I believe immigrated from Bremen in 1848 on the President Smidt and married in Klemzig Adelaide that year.   

I have no genealogy information as yet on the Auhl and Bitter families prior to their arrival in Adelaide but I'll keep researching, I would expect the AUHL surname would have been AUL back in Germany.

I have put together a bunch of notes on what I have found out so far starting with Heinrich Auhl and Sophia Bitter and working down through the children but I have gaps which you might be able to help me with.

Regards

Gerry

All very strange isn't it.  ??? BISA is partly submitted in nature but they have August Heinrich born on the date you have but married to 2 different women in SA, when he should be in Wodonga married to someone else .  ???

AUHL Heinrich Johann  23 single father not recorded =  BITTER Sophia Dorothea 22 single father not recorded 26 Sep 1848 German Chapel Klemzig Dist Ade 12 102

Children registered to Heinrick and Dorothea

Henry 2 Jul 1851 Adelaide Dist Ade 3 232
Eda Hannah 19 Jun 1856 Lyndock Valley Dist Bar 8 177
William Franz 5 Mar 1858 Lyndoch Valley Dist Bar 13 571
Amalia Dorothea 26 Dec 1859 Lyndoch Valley Dist Bar 18 505
Adolf Friedrich  8 May 1862 Greenock Dist Ade 20 343
Anna Emma 24 Nov 1864 Greenock Dist Ade 33 76
Emma Anna 19 Sep 1867 Greenock Dist Ade 58 17

then we have three births listed to August (all list him as August AUHL)

I don't see this marriage

William Edwin 12 Feb 1880 Hallett Dist Bur 235 450 (mother Elizabeth O'CONNER)
John 24 May 1881 Hallett Dist Bur 262 252 (mother Elizabeth CONNER)
Susannah Elizabeth 25 Jun 1882 Hallett Dist Bur 287 31 (mother Susannah O'CONNER)

Now the second marriage again just as August

AUHL August 28 single father Henry AUHL = MARTIN Mary Ann 27 Single father Roibert MARTIN 14 Oct 1885 Wesleyan Parsonage Jamestown Dist Cla 145 338

MMM he now he is single and born about 1857  ??? but still just August. Will look for this death. I am confused.
