Wow. Thank you so much, that information is wonderful.
The tree owned by Mackenzie is me, so I have his details in Australia, but really wanted before he emigrated. You have given me that. Thank you so much

Europe / Adolf Carl Peter Bruning in Hamburg please
« on: Thursday 27 August 20 06:28 BST (UK)  »
Is it possible to find anything on Adolf Carl Peter Bruning? Born Hamburg Free City 7 NOV 1890 according to his naturalisation papers. He went to England, was there for 1911 Census and then migrated to Australia in 1912. Ended up in Adelaide. He was a glassblower.
Ancestry says that it has a birth record (maybe) , but I don't have a world subscription. Just anything about his parents or anything from Germany. I seem to have a lot of info, but it is a dead end at this stage.
Thank you for any help at all

Thank you for that Rosie and Max. So it appears that he is going to be difficult.
I will check out the Surrey History and see how we go.
Thanks again

Armed Forces / Military Deserter 1881 UK
« on: Wednesday 14 June 17 03:17 BST (UK)  »
Looking for military information on Alfred BRADSHAW born 1861, in East Surrey Regiment, 3rd Battallion, supposedly deserted in May 1881. Number 753.

I have been told that there may be information on Ancestry, but I don't have the access.

Any info on his military "career" and desertion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks heaps

Australia / Re: Herbahn family immigration to Newcastle

Thanks for the info on the Naturalisation. The family is in the Benevolent Society on 27th September 1881, that is why I am assuming that they arrived around that time.

Regards

The info that Gus gave on his Naturalisation request was that they came on a 3 masted sailing ship, landed in Newcastle and proceeded to Sydney the same night... doesn't say how, so it could have been by another vessel.

All of this gives me other avenues, thanks heaps.

Australia / Herbahn family immigration to Newcastle
« on: Tuesday 02 February 16 01:28 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for the shipping record for Henriette HERBAHN (or HERBOHN) aged approx 29 and her children Gustave, Hermina, John, Augusta and Amelia. Who have arrived in Newcastle in late September 1881 having sailed from New Zealand.

The family is German but emigrated to New Zealand in 1875.

The family story goes that they arrived in Newcastle and came by coach to Sydney. They show up in Benevolent Society records arriving on 27/9/1881 and being taken out by Henrietta's husband the next day. So the ship would have arrived in Newcastle maybe on the 26th September?

Thank you heaps for your help

Australia / South Australia Edmund George COX from about 1950
« on: Thursday 03 September 15 00:39 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on Edmund George COX who was born 1905 in Charlton, Kent, UK, moved from Sydney to South Australia about 1950. He is in the Sydney Electoal Roll in 1949. Would it be possible to check the Electoral Roll from 1950 onwards in SA ?

He may have gone to live with his sister Beatrice Brunning in Adelaide, but he ends up at 157 Queen St in Peterborough SA.

The family story is that he married twice after moving to SA and , to keep away from his second wife, he changed his name to Leslie HOWARD.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, like marriages, occupation (I have a pension record that says he was working for SA Government).

Thank you
