Theresia Henkelmann was born on 16 August 1927 in Schwarzenau but I do not know if this is Schwarzenau am Main in Bavaria or Schwarzenau in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Can you find the registration of her birth?
Theresia Henkelmann wurde am 16. August 1927 in Schwarzenau geboren, aber ich weiß nicht, ob es sich um Schwarzenau am Main in Bayern oder um Schwarzenau in Nordrhein-Westfalen handelt.
Kannst du die Registrierung ihrer Geburt finden?

To be able to help we really need a bit more info. There are quite a lot of places called Schwarzenau.
i.e.where were other members of the family born?

Hi Dave
I regret that I do not know anything about her relatives in West Germany. She emigrated to Australia and her marriage certificate shows her date and place of birth as previously advised. If only marriage certificates in the UK included as much info as those in NSW!
Kind Regards (mfg!)

Hi Nick,
have you tried the National Archives in Australia? Her immigration papers are not on line yet, so you would have to apply for them.

Does the marriage record give her father's name?

Yes, Theresia Henkelmann was the daughter of Lorenz Henkelmann and Elisabetha Weckert

The Bavarian WW1 personnel rosters include a Lorenz Henkelmann of Schwarzenau Kitzingen. Born 8 August 1880.

So it is Schwarzenau in Bavaria. Many thanks for finding that record!

In the Bavarian WW1 personnel roster from 1918 the parents of Lorenz are stated as being
Georg and Marg. (Margarethe - Margaretha)

born Möslein
