Hi there,
No thats not him.. as he was here and marrying by 1867. but yes it is weird. Coincidence!.
Our Charles/Karl/Carl married his wife in Ballarat in 1867 at the Skipton St Bible Christian Church.
He stated on his naturilisation papers that he arrived here in Australia July 1859 he said he came aboard the mail steamer,the Mauritius,which I looked at Passenger lists for but
there were only three people listed on it and he wasn't on of them..
He travelled on what I believe to be the Mauritius Mail Steamer as any other ship bearing the same name was centuries too early.
He said he travelled from Hamburg via London port to Melbourne Australia port.
He lived in Albert St Sebastapol he died Sebastapol February 1898 from Miners Disease and is buried at the New Ballarat Cemetery..his wife immigrated from Isle of Wight in 1862.
He claimed on his marriage certifcate that he and his wife were both 27 (in 1867) when they married so that puts his birth year at circa 1840, but I don't have a "Exact" date of birth for him.
He also stated that he was born in Hamburg, but a researcher i had in Germany couldn't find anything at all..especially with the parents listed on his Australian Marriage Certificate.Parents Given as Mary Canute and Henry Patterson which I believe have been Anglicised..Emmas family were protestants I dont know Charles religion but that he hated Catholics.There is also a German military
Connection but don't know who,when or where.
I know someone either in Germany itself or someone who lives here thats related and can speak German knows more about us than us of them because a lookalike has been following my hubby around for years and not making themselves known..very frustrating.
I have his naturilisation which is very basic name,place of birth,year of birth,australianised name,how long he'd been in the Victorian Colony,and ship name,how he got here,year he got here,port. Will leaves everything to wife and children.Marriage lists parents names as listed above and gives Charles dads (Henrys) occupation as a Farmer.
Familylore-says family originated from Lubeck Schleswwig Holstein and that Henry was a farmer.
Cant find anything that matched up outside Australia.
This is all I know of him. I do know some related surnames but nothing thats yeilded any further results as to who he is etc..
A cousin of my husband says Sid Phillip Patterson was a 2nd cousin but have no idea how as hes family is English..I believe
ours is European but apparantly he's supposed to be connected somewhere?
?. But have no idea how or where he fits in.
Some names in the family are Richards, Roberts, Richardson, chappell, Williams, Kendall, Hart, Harris, Oldenhof, Bolinger, Holmes, White, Hart, Tressider, Collins, Ash, Mellor irving, Halton, Hopkins, Schmidt, WEir-Schmidt, Anderson, Stanborough, dunn, Allen ... Just to name some Many are distant though.
