This topic is pretty much complete except I got one more question. I met a person on here a while back that was related to the Leismann Family from Denmark. I have searched as many different things on here that I could think of to find this person. Does anyone know who I'm talking about. If you do can you let them know I'd like to chat to them.


I am in desperate need of help. I cannot trace the Leismann Family of New Zealand. I have searched New Zealand's BDM and have come up a blank.
I have managed to trace the leismann family back to:

Jacob Peter Frederik Leismann b. c1889 Place: Unknown d. 1957 Place: NZ BDM has a record for him so I'd say NZ.
Jacob married Hetty Elizabeth Edwards b. c1895 Place: Unknown d. 1969 Place: Most probably New Zealand as they have a record for her.

Jacob & Hetty had 2 sons:

Cyril Frederik Leismann (my Grandfather) b. 6 Sept 1922 Place: Whangerei, New Zealand d. 4 Nov 1990 Place: New Zealand     I have all the details from Cyril down the line.

Frederik Peter Leismann b. 14 Aug 1927 Place: Unknown d. 1993 Place: Unknown
Frederik married Shirley Jean Unknown.
They had 1 daughter that I definitely know about, but there have been rumors of at least 14 children.

I have been told that the Leismann Family traces back to Denmark but I don't have enough information to begin looking there as I have no idea which person immigrated to New Zealand. I spoke to a Lady who has done a ton of research on the Denmark Leismann Family but she can't help me until I can find the relative who first came to New Zealand.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I've hit a brick wall.

Thanks in advance guys.

8 Dec 2012 Had to edit a Living Person out. The other people mentioned above are all deceased but I do not know their dates of death.

Hey guys,

I need some help finding information on 2 people.

- Frederick James Potter b. 21 (or 28) April 1886 in Sydney. d. 1966

- Isabell ? Guthrie-Gunn ? b. 20 or 21 or 22 March 1896

I know they were married. I'm not sure if they were married in Scotland or Australia. I already posted this same kind of message on the Scotland boards and didn't come with much about their parents or siblings.

Frederick James Potter
I think Fredericks parents were Henry Potter & Lavinia ?
I think there were 12 other siblings:
- Louisa, Lavinia, Alfred Henry, Mary E, Caroline, William John, Henry, Frederick, Carrie, Marsha, Gertrude & Charles.
I searched NSW BDM & that's how I have the siblings names. I don't have any real evidence to prove those were Frederick's siblings. I also know I shouldn't be guessing Family members but I can't find anyone else researching this family.

Isabell Guthrie-Gunn
I have been told the above is her name. According to a living relative Isabell's father was a Gunn & her mother was a Guthrie. I'm not sure if her name was hyphenated or not. I have found a reference for an Isabella Brown Gunn which seems to match with the little information I do have but once again I have no proof. I have also been led to believe she was born in Scotland but not sure how accurate this is.
I have also found another 5 possible siblings:
- Margaret, Robina, John, Janet & Donald.


I have included the possible siblings as the living relative told me Frederick was the youngest of about 14. If this was the case the children I found in the NSW BDM could be relevant. As for Isabell, her possible siblings are relevant as the name Robina has traveled down through the generations and I have been led to believe that the Living relative was named after one of the possible siblings.

I know it's a bit confusing and I ramble a bit but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps in advance guys.

I am in serious need of help here and I'm leaving it up to the brilliant minds on here!

I am seeking information on Richard John Williams and his wife Elsie Gladys Eileen Croucher. I don't know anything about them except that they got married in 1922 in Granville, NSW, Australia (NSW BDM).

I only know of 2 children they had:
1 - John Herbert Williams b. 15/03/1928 Merrylands, NSW, Australia m. Iris King 1955 in Auburn, NSW, Australia d. 21/11/1992
2 - Joyce Williams b. 19 January 1924??? Joyce was born the day after I was but I'm not sure about the year. I believe she was 2-3 years older or younger than her brother.

If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you so much in advance.
