Title: Jahnke Family - Germany to Australia
Post by: MasonT78 on Monday 21 January 13 09:12 GMT (UK)
Hi everyone,

Im trying to find info on Charles Jahnke, born in Germany and moved to Australia. All the info i have is:

8th April 1893 - Married Ethel Sarah Wadley (She went on to remarry in 1897 to Charles Miffen) in  Sydney NSW, Australia. At the time of their marriage he was 27 years old and a cook, living in Sydney. His father was Frank Jahnke, his mothers name is hard to read on the marriage certificate. Ethel was born in Tasmania, Australia
I cant seem to find any records of his arrival or death. I assume he must have died for Ethel to remarry, and went on to have a family.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

It may be worth while getting a partial transcription of Ethel's second marriage to see if she is listed as widow.

I can't pick him up as dying in NSW or Qld up till 1960.
Can you think of any other name he may have used?
Have you checked TROVE or Police Gazettes ikn case he's listed as a missing person?
What about divorce?
