Australia / Re: Thomas SKINNER, born 1814? in Tasmania? and parents?
« on: Monday 09 May 16 01:38 BST (UK)  »
I had disregarded the Thomas SKINNER/Susan MARR marriage because I was looking for the Thomas SKINNER married to Harriett HUTCHINSON.

But... they could be the same man, if Susan MARR died sometime before 1844.

I will have a hunt and see if I can figure out if Thomas/Susan had any children, and when Susan died. At the very least, I will have a family tree for a Thomas SKINNER that someone might be wanting :)

Hmmm, weird that if Thomas and William were brothers, they were transported on different ships... I am assuming that they caught for the same crime of course!

Australia / Thomas SKINNER, born 1814? in Tasmania? and parents?
« on: Sunday 08 May 16 12:00 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying to hack away at Thomas SKINNER for months now.... he does NOT want me to find out who his parents are!

Starting from his death: it was registered in 1890 in Footscray, Victoria, no parents listed. Age given as 74 so estimated birth year of 1816.

He was married 19 Apr 1844 to Harriett HUTCHINSON in Launceston, Tasmania, in the house of Mrs Winfield and the presence of William Skinner (brother, uncle, father??). He listed his occupation as Brickmaker and gives his age as 27 (so estimated birth year of 1817).
The marriage register is publicly available here: https://linctas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/names/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fNAME_INDEXES$002f0$002fNAME_INDEXES:833700/one

I have a record of his first child, Elizabeth, being born in Tasmania in 1845 and then the birth of a son, Thomas, in 1849 in Victoria, so I assume they moved from Tas to Vic sometime between 1846 and 1848.

And no records of a birth for a Thomas Skinner in the 1810's in Tasmania.

Now, I do have a record for a 19 year old convict arriving in 1833 (estimated birth year 1814), on the Emperor Alexander.....but still no parent information.

Ugh. With some spare time I will try and do a newspaper search and cross reference dates/release papers etc, but does anyone else have any suggestions please?

Europe / Prussia, Ferdinand LE JUGE and Louisa MACHLINBURG
« on: Sunday 08 May 16 11:10 BST (UK)  »
Well, my family tree comes to a dead stop at this couple.

My ggg grandfather was a man named Luis Ferdinand Le JUDGE, who was married to Elizabeth SKINNER in Victoria 1862. He was apparently born in Prussia in 1831 and the next piece of information I have for him is that he was naturalized in Victoria in 1861. I have applied for his naturalization records, which will hopefully tell me all about how he immigrated here, but while I wait for that I was hoping that someone with better German skills than me could please do a search and see if there was any information available online for Luis's birth and/or information about his parents.

I **think** Luis died in Albury NSW, Australia in 1886. No parents are listed on the registry though. And all I have to go on for the names of Luis's parents is some publicly available family tress that suggest his parents were named Ferdinand LE JUGE and Louisa MACHLINBURG, both born in Prussia in 1812.

Hopefully the naturalization papers will clear some of this up **crossing all my fingers and toes**. I understand that there may not be any information online about this family from Prussia, and that is OK.

Thank you for reading,
Tracey

Modified to add: I have seen LE JUGE spelt so many different ways. LEJUGE, LEJUDGE, LE JUDGE, LETUGE on Luis's wedding record.....

Australia / Re: German families immigrating to Australia late 1800s/ early 1900s

Ah, you have amazing memory!

Thanks for sharing that. I suspected they were married in 1913 in SA, but are not sure how to verify the information.

I only have information for one son: Wilhelm Friederick SCHRODER, who died in 1971. Is this the son you remember?

Now that I know they are buried in the same cemetery, I will see if I can do a cemetery search. If I am lucky, pictures on their headstones will be online.

My connection is through my husband, his grandmother was Elsa Betty Dorothy SCHRODER (without the E apparently), Friedrich and Adeline's daughter/Wihelm's sister.

I have also paid for this record to be made public:

Title: Lejuge, Ferdinand Louis - Naturalisation
Barcode: 1815059
Series No: A712
Control Code: 1861/R4836

Fingers crossed it has the information about his ship in it :)

Thanks Cando.

Darn. I hate when links time out. Yes it is Friedrich Heinrich SCHROEDER, and the Victorian Index to Naturalization says he was naturalized in Jul 1914.

I read a blog that suggests he traveled to Australia, from Bremen, with his girlfriend Adeline Louise Dorethea RUBENKAMP sometime in 1913, and they married in Australia after they arrived.

Thanks for reading.

Note: I have asked a moderator to move this thread.

Unfortunately it looks like some of the in-laws did not register for naturalization.

I have found out how two siblings got to Australia though, so I am not disappointed.

Opps, and here is the guy I am after, it just looks like his record has not been examined yet.

Because that is the sort of luck I have!!

Modified to add: I have made an application to have this record examined and released. Should find out in the next 90 days.

BRILLIANT!! ;D

The Commonwealth holds the Victorian records pre 1903, and after 1903 they are commonwealth records.

Now I just have to peruse them **happy place**
