Good Morning,

Carl PETER and family came to Queensland on the Wandrahm which arrived Moreton Bay January 1866.  I have located a wealth of information on the family BDM's etc including their shipping details.

I have been told that son Wilhelm Friedrich August PETER aged 10 years died shortly after the vessel left Hamburg.  However I am having problems locating the whereabouts of youngest daughter Emilie Albertine Auguste PETER born 2nd February 1862 who was 3 years, and Friederike PETER aged 20 years( I believe she is a daughter from Carl's first marriage).

I am trying to ascertain if Emilie and Friederike may also have died on the voyage to OZ or maybe when they were in quarantine ( however I cannot find them on the Dunwich cemetery listing).

Is there a list of  passengers who died en-route, and if so, where could I source please.

Many thanks

not sure if these links will help?

hello eilidh

my family came over on the wandrahm, to this day we have no idea where my great great grandmother was interred, seems she died coming into moreton bay or near, the captain may have buried her at sea don't know, visited nth Stradbroke island 2013 visited the historical centre who had absolutely no idea about german immigrants, of the wandrahm, or names of interments at the benevolent cemetery, visited Dunwich cemetery no german almost names to be found from then, at 1 I was on the island with a friend, relatives there, I am sure they pointed us to a cemetery near amity point where they lived.
 
by all accounts their voyage was a nightmare
 
would like to see an image of the ship if possible, finding such images is like a treasure hunt
 
hope we can connect

g'day sharon,

great to hear from you.

i have so many "brauer" names on my list i might have you henry but with his christian anmes around another way, it is quiet common for this in germany and european family history.

anyhow i would like to pursue this further so will send you a private message.

added in ok since this time of this original post i ahve gained much knowledge of henry from oterh sources we now have his DOB circa 1817, we may never know?

i have lots on his children etc.,. but so far no further back into germany than henry

so at this stage henry's family is not connect to my family but i hold out all hope, this will be confirmed or other when we have his grandparents or great-grandparents etc's.,. names

this family most likley transition through bethany at beenleigh queensland and chose land around tenterfield (now NSW) back then qld was NSW.
