Australia Lookups completed / Germany to Australia

Hi
I am trying to find information on German relatives. There have been quite a few members of this family tree searching as well but we have had no luck.
My Gt Gt Gt Grandfather was Johann Gottlieb Lotze married to Joanna Louise Hellman. Johann was born in Hamburg Germany, Johanna we don't know. They were married in Germany. We have found a death record for Joanna in Australia but none for Johann leaving us to believe he may have died in Germany and Joanna came to Australia with her children. The first son Jacob William was born circa 1824 in Germay, second son Edward (Eduart) also born in Germany, daughter Marie Louise we don't know. Jacob William arrived on the San Francisco in 1852 so we assume Mother and siblings did too.
As I am new to family research any suggestions on how to proceed tracing them in Germany would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ruth
