Thank you all.
So from Davcapps map it seems kniedsted was a parish/nearby village now suburb of salzgitter
I have pieced together a sketch of my ancestors but due to my lack of german, complicated by the fact that the translations just list stuff and I can't distinguish towns and villages from parishes from districts etc. Unfortunately I only had transcribed info, not originals.
Yes Manukarik - I think that is the one. and you have answered my question somewhat in that Kneisedt is a parish - but see my comment below on SAlzgitter - is Salzgitter part of Dornton District?
I love the help - thank you so so much
1. Heinrich Devers - born c1790 died c1851 - married Eleonore - maybe at SAlzgitter - I can't really find any records on this couple, so my information is limited.
2. son Christian Devers born c1820 Salzgitter and died 1898 Rutherglen Aust- married Wilhelmina Fritzer in Germany - emigrated to Australia 1858 - I think they had 3 children in germany - christian b1851 or 1856, Henriette b1854 but died and Alvena b1858 - their births and marriage details are of interest
3. son Christian Devers - b1851 or 1856 - I think Salzgitter (maybe Kneidstedt Village) and died 1924 Aust - emigrated to Australia on "Marpesia" in 1870 aged 16 - again birth and marriage - but what is particularly confusing me at present is that I can see a record of a Herman Christian as per Manukarik but how does that fit in with Salzgitter which he has on his Australia paperwork - also he is saying in Australia he is born in 1851 but the record is 1856
