They are great dee,
I love how the boys show us that they can read and like to ride horses by the little items they hold and the cut and fabric of the girls dresses is beautiful.

Fabulous photos ...dee. I'm thrilled to see them. Thank you. What a night! 

Also thanks for the details for Carl and his family, ...dee. So much to absorb and work through.

Sue...it would seem the family was quite well educated. As you say, the items they hold tell us a little about them. A message from the past for the future!

I looked at the NAA sites for the naturalisation of Heinrich and Carl and noted the signatures. Heinrich's is clear and well written. Do you think I'd be correct in assuming it to be his handwriting, Sue? Also on both set of documents I can make out one of the signatories to be someone with the surname Meyer and that is the same surname of his wife. Could be a relative?

Troods...looked and made a note of the two records relating to WWI. They will fit somewhere, hopefully.

Elsie,

I'll follow up the children of Carl Friedrich for you later tomorrow.....time to shut up shop for tonight.

Glad you enjoyed the photos. When I get time to go back to working with the others, I'll have a very close look to see if there are any others with obvious family resemblences.

Before heading to bed had one last glance at postings and reread:

"Johanna Dorothea WALLMANN aged 21 married Friedrich Willhelm HARTUNG aged 32 on 14th Dec 1848 at German Chapel Hindley St [Adelaide]
Ref = Ade 11/299"

Of interest as it might help with a connection, Heinrich named his daughter Louisa Dorothea.

Whilst I might be clutching at straws, it also might be a name connection back to Germany and help in linking siblings.

Hi Elsie

Do you think I'd be correct in assuming it to be his handwriting, Sue?

I would say in the case of both certificates, the men have signed in that place, though the body of the document in written in another hand.

What a wonderful collection of photos they are amazing.

Great thread and am following it with interest.
