Different spelling of Bertha's surname:

1889   C10459 Ada Rathe William Bertha Andhit

1891   C10385 George Peter Rathe William Bertha Anderheit   

I can't see a marriage of William on QldBDM

Is the George Peter in NSW yours.

I ask as I can't see his marriage either and the Trove article says his wife was born in Mt Morgan?

Is there other spelling for Rathe?

In 1893 an advertisement regarding her furniture to be sold for her departure to Germany.
I infer from this that she was living alone as it seems to be her possessions on the market

Mrs W RATHE  had advertised her establishment of a school in Rockhampton for young children 1891

Hi,
Correction to the direct above.

The 'Charles Dickens' left Hamburg on 6th November 1878 and arrived Rockhampton on 26th February 1879.
