GULACK, GOLLICK, GERLOCH, GULAG, GOLOCK, GULACH

[suevize]

Mary Louisa GULACK also spelt GOLLICK, GERLOCH, GULAG, GOLOCK, GULACH claimed to be born 2 January 1850 in Port Adelaide (but possibly at sea). No birth registered in South Australia can be found searching on name variants. According to her obituary, she was the daughter of "Mr John GULACK of Blumberg", where Louisa also grew up. I believe the family may be of Germanic descent. Louisa married Johann August BARRIEN near Robe in 1871 and they had 7 daughters (the source of the spelling variations comes from their birth registrations) and lived near Millicent, Reedy Creek, Lochaber and Naracoorte. I have been unable to find any information on the "GULACK" family or its origins. The closest name I can identify in the records is GERLACH. Any information or leads appreciated.

Hi

If you looking for a possible origin of the name, there is a fairly common name in North Somerset spelt alternatively GOLLICK, GULLICK & other variations

there is a mary Gillick regestered in 1853 in Sydney NSW though

father: John Gillick and mother Mary A, no surname though

V1853735 70

If she was born at sea may be the first place they landed at that they registered her birth??

Happened to one of my ggg grandfathers,born in canadian waters but registered in NSW would you believe

will see if I can see anything more

Have just seen a tree on ancestry that has her and her husband on it. It has death cert also. notes her father as Johann Carl Ludwig Gerlach and mother as Marie Elsie Muller

Says May L Gerlach was born 2 January 1850 Port Adelaide
died 9 June 1933 Naracoorte, South Australia
she is buried in the naracoorte cemetery in the old section Plot 180
burial 1933 - 04 -08

Hi there,

re that 1853 registration, it would be for the baptism of that lass SO birth year not necessarily 1853  .  Civil registration commenced 1856 in NSW .  The baptism should show her parents names (although not the maiden name), and his occupation, address etc, and also the date of birth and possibly where born, and maybe even the name of the ship.  Baptism could be several years after birth, perhaps first time the family was able to connect with a clergyman of their own faith. 

The NSW BDM online index has it noted twice, this indicates that the baptism may be according to the rites of a non-conf or  RC or perhaps a remote parish not in Sydney NSW, not necc. even in NSW.
 
  It could well be the Sth Aust birth, there was a General Order  dating from 1810's in NSW Government practices requiring clergy to send quarterly returns to NSW Chaplains.   Perhaps the cleric conducting the baptism was familiar with that regulation.   There are definitely records on NSW BDM for baptisms burials marriages that occurred in NZ, Figi, South Sea Islands, Tas, Victoria,Qld etc, no reason why Sth Aust should miss out !

Cheers,  JM

Hi Sue

The ship Emmy arrived at Port Adelaide in Jan 1850 and there was supposedly a GERLACH couple and child. I should have said a similar surname to GERLACH!

The Biographical Index SA has completely different GERLACH families arriving in 1858 on the Susanne and the Caesar Helene in 1859.

Not certain this was the family of Mary Louisa
This death at Lobethal is as near as you'll get to Blumberg/Birdwood.
Maria Elisa GERLACH aged 51y wife of Carl Ludwig GERLACH
Residence and Death Place: Lobethal
Date: 25 May 1862
District Nairne/ bk 14 pg 236
BISA has her maiden name as KORITZKY

Johann Carl Ludwig and a married son later moved to the Lyndoch Valley. Son Johannes married Beate LESKE at Lobethal in 1863.

Emmy's previous port was Melbourne

Comments about the emigrants who landed in Melbourne (could perhaps also apply to the Sth Aust ones too)

The immigrants by the ' Emmy' appear to be of a much more suitable description than the former importations, being principally from the rural districts of Saxony.
