Hello all
This is part two of my thread
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=851239.0, and as suggested by Dave am posting the specific question.
Johann August Ludwig KAYSER (1836?-1910) was my great great grandfather.
I know from primary sources in Australia that he arrived in Port Adelaide, South Australia (SA), on 15 August 1858 on board the brig Grassbroek (Grassbrook), having departed Hamburg on 25 April 1858.
He worked as a teacher in various schools for the SA Department of Education, 1862-1893, and as a headmaster at the state schools in Lyndoch and Brighton.
He married Amalie BEECKEN on 13 December 1862 in Adelaide SA and resided in Lyndoch Valley SA.
On 11 June 1866, he partitioned the Governor of South Australia to obtain the rights and capacities of a natural-born British subject. As part of these papers he claimed to have been born in Lautenthal in the Kingdom of Hannover and to be of 31 years of age (so born c1835).
His last residence was named Lautenthal in Hewitt Avenue, Rose Park Adelaide, SA. This obituary (in German) states he was born on
10 May 1836 in Lautenthal:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/230697742 ('Todes-Anzeige'
Australische Zeitung (Adelaide SA) 23 February 1910 p5). According to his marriage registration he was the son of
August Wilhelm KAYSER.
I am hoping to confirm these birth details from German sources. Also to know a little more about his parents.
Thank you for any pointers
