Thank you Dave … a few more pieces if the puzzle! I think you are correct that looks to be Johanna Christiane Rau née Klemke

Is there anything of help in her death record? 

Thank you!  How have I missed that one … maybe because it’s under Christiane but looks like her daughters name there too

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the undersigned registrar appeared today, identity verified by family book,
Olga Schirmer coal merchants wife
resident in Berlin, Ruggenerstrasse 44
and reported that  Emilie Arlt nee Rau, widow of the retired border guard
Karl August Arlt
71 years old, protestant
resident in her home
born in Chwalim, Kreis Bomst

died in her home on the 10 April 1905 at 10 pm

daughter of the deceased couple: Windmill owner Ernst Rau and his wife
first name unknown“ Klemke.
Last mentioned resident in Unruhstadt
first mentioned in Chwalim

read aloud, approved and signed

So frustrating can’t find a birth record for her so it just seems I can’t quite connect her to Johanna Christiane Rau née Klemke … can’t find a birth for her either.

Have you got the Rau_Klemke marriage cert?

https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=2116&h=2199925&indiv=try&ftm=1

There are no parents mentioned, but could have some other info of interest

I’ve seen it but as usual apart from names I can’t tell what’s in it … I thought I also found the death Gotthilf although his age is off going by the marriage .. will find it again.

Wow … I guess this at least gives us her approx birthdate and born in Chwalim like Wilhelmine
I just can’t find births for either of them

Thanks Dave for your help … surely the missing piece of the puzzle is out there.

Hi Dave … I hadn’t seen that one but surely that wouldn’t be our Wilhelmine Habermann née Klemke? She would of only been 13 in 1826?

Hi Dave thought I would try upload a photo of my ancestor Emma Amelia Rau daughter of Julius and Augustine Rau née Boehm.  She was my first Australian born ancestor. You just have to love the hat.
