Lauritz Hermansen (1855-1903) — any Danish research experts?!

“Lauritz Herrmansen” departure from Hamburg to Maryborough ... can anyone read the name of his previous residence?

In Hamburg Passenger lists on Ancestry they have transcribed the previous residence as Copenhagen.

Thanks ... I'd never guessed that the first letter was a "K" ....

Lauritz mother's surname was Terkelsen.

Her birth record:

I have to add that I have had some great help from a number of very helpful Danes in obtaining and understanding some of these records.

This record shows Alma and Lauritz divorce:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?bsid=258413#258413,48192690 - 12/1882 - bottom right.

"Skilsmisseopgørelse" is Divorce settlement.

Over the page on the right in the middle it states that in May 1878 he had travelled to Hamburg. He then had travelled on to Australia.

This is not a translation as it is very difficult to read and my Danish isn't up to it either. I understand a little of it but I get the jist of it.

This is the same Laurentz who is on the passenger list posted earlier by Isabel H.

Lauritz's mother was sent away to give birth anonymously as she was not married. So there is no father recorded unfortunately, although the name Herman might be a clue.
So Lauritz made his parent's names up.

Incredible! I have spent much of today reading over each of the posts and looking up the links — I am overwhelmed by everyone’s helpfulness and generosity of time. I am incredibly thankful for the research skills and detective work you have each brought to this post — you have managed to discover more about Lauritz in just a couple of days than I have in one year of searching (I’ve obviously got a lot to learn)! Ian, please also pass on my sincere gratitude to the Danes that helped you with your research.

I do have a few questions, so I will add them below in separate posts.

In the meantime, I will now get to work confirming the Lauritz that emigrated to Australia was the one who ended up in New Zealand a year or so later.

P.S. It’s interesting to note that Lauritz’s divorce settlement in Denmark occurred just two months before he married in New Zealand (he also stated he was a bachelor on his marriage record here)!

Wow. Lauritz had a sister! Great detective work, Ian!

Is anyone able to translate the information written on Lauritz's birth record?

I note on the birth record that Lauritz’s mother’s name is slightly different — it looks like Magdalene Amalia Frobos (I’m not sure what is written underneath that)? Is it possible she altered her name to Amalie Magdalene Frøbøsse when she gave birth at Fødselsstiftelsen (for anonymity reasons)?
