ZENNER family of Australia
« on: Monday 01 February 10 16:22 GMT (UK) »
I am helping my partner in her family history. I have found that her relation-David Zenner B1818 Bavaria kived and married in uk. He was married to Elizabeth Heddon and they had several children, including David Gustavus Zenner who married and emmigrated to Australia. I have learned that there are relatives of David [maybe other siblings too moved Australia].(*) So any helpful information would be appreciated. It's not a common surname.  Thankyou

Do you have any idea what state in Australia they might have lived in?

Australian BDM indexes are by state not nationwide.

At this site -

and using Zenner for "exact phrase", select Victoria newspaper collectively.
