Thanks to the current crop of data from the Hamburg city archives, I can now affirm that Peter Nicholaus Rathjen died 13 Sep 1872 at Altona Hamburg.

Hans Peter Rathjen, his first born son, married Hermine Karoline Alexa Schmidt in 1879; he died 24 Jan 1880 in Altona Hamburg. He had one daughter, Caroline Jacobine, who died in Altona Hamburg.

Hello James
Good to hear from you.  Yes I am descended from them, I am their great great grand daughter & have managed to trace all of the family descended from them to here in Australia & in USA.  I have been to Ireland chasing up the Lally family but cannot discover anything.  I have been to many churches & checked their records but to no avail, visited many cemeteries but not anything to match in with my vague knowledge.  I've been to Ballinsaloe but was unable to spend enough time checking thru all records.
Would love to investigate with you.

Moray (Elginshire) / Re: Dick family around Forres, Morayshire, Scotland

Thank you for that information, I have visited the Moray centre in Elgin several times & used their system many, many times, it is fantastic, I have also contacted thr Moray & Nairnshire Family History group & used their burial records which were very helpful.  Unofficially we were taken around part of the estate by a gamekeeper so I do know the lay of the land.  I think I will ponder what you have said & go from there??? unless you can give me any more hints?

Ok, thank you for that. Does anyone know where the Darnaway Estate papers may be stored, I am going to contact the estate directly, but I wondered if anyone near Forres might be able to help me please?

Yes, I know that all censuses say that William was an ag labourer, but to stay in that dwelling for so long must have been unusual for just an ag labourer?

My ancestors lived in that area for 150 + years.  William Dick was born in C1790, birth registered at Edenkillie, but he was probably born at Dorsella Lodge, on the Earl of Moray's Darnaway Estate, & died there in 1874.  He married Janet McGrigor(McGregor) in 1814 at Dyke.  They had 11 children between 1815 & 1837 at Dorsella Lodge.  Robert 1815, James 1817, Jean/Janet 1820, Margaret 1821, Elizabeth 1823, Alexander 1826, William, 1829, William 1831, John 1833, Jessie 1835 & Isabella 1837.  I would dearly love to chat with anyone who may know of them & I have heaps more info. Darnaway Estate's papers could provide valuable information but I'm not sure how to access them.  I have been to the estate in 2013 but at that stage I didn't know how long the family had been associated with the Estate.  Several of William's family worked there as a shoemaker & servants, & I believe William himself may have been the gatekeeper, because Dorsella Lodge was the gatekeeper's lodging for many years, but is now in ruins in a obscure area of the estate.

searching for descendants of Thomas Flynn B c1790 Galway, who married Bridget Lally C1829 ( Bridget was born C 1810 in Moystown, Offaly (previously King's County)), her parents were John Lally & Mary O'Rourke.  They had 9 children Mary, Ann, Patrick, Catherine (Kate), John, Bridget, Thomas, James & Elizabeth, all born in early 1830's up to 1858.  Mary & Ann migrated to USA & settled in the Massachusetts area marrying John Lyons & Matthew T Ward respectively.  Patrick & Kate migrated to Australia C1857 & then the rest of the family, except for Thomas senior, came to Australia in 1871 aboard the ship Western Empire.  I have found where all of them ended up in Australia & USA but would love to find someone in Ireland who may something else about the family.
