Thank you I did find that entry and have had it translated. When Christian married in 1856 in Australia, he gave his father's name as Heinrich and no name was recorded for his mother, so I have had to widen my search to try and verify his parents.  It has been suggested through Rootchat that Friedrich Hager may indeed be Heinrich Hager so I am looking in that direction. It seems that parents names were variously recorded (not always the full name and a different first name for different occasions.  Our Christian August Heinrich Hager was commonly known by everyone in Australia as Henry.

Thank you again. I have now found another possible child of Friedrich Hager and Luise. I would appreciate any translation. Without a confirmed mother's name of our ancestor (Christian August Heinrich) Hager's on his marriage certificate or death certificate, I need to widen my search to hopefully bring me back to my direct ancestor.  (This plan was successful when I couldn't find my Turner ancestor, a common name in England and Australia, so I followed any name even remotely connected to the family and eventually was able to prove a direct link)

Years have passed I know, just found your post.  Did you find burial details for Mary Francis McKeogh (nee Larkings)?  She is buried at Melbourne General Cemetery with her mother-in-law Ellen McKeogh (nee Murphy), her brother-in-law Michael McKeogh and her niece's husband Joseph Campbell

thank you for replying - now I need to search again because my Christian August Heinrich Hager who was born c1828 (calculated from his marriage certificate (in 1854 in Victoria, Australia and his death certificate in the same place - when he married he gave his father's name as Heinrich  (with no mother named ) perhaps she had died (both parents were named for his wife)

Thinking over all the detail, I must admit I collected from Ancestry trees - the exercise of asking for help here, makes me realise that these parents/family do not fit.
Christian August Heinrich Hager was married in Victoria, Australia in 1856 and gave his place of birth as Flehe and his father as Heinrich with no mother named (perhaps she had died) both parents were named for his wife.
When he died in 1896, his parents were unknown. I realised it did not make any sense that a couple would marry in Denmark, have a few children, go to Germany for two years and have a child there and then return to Denmark to live, have more children and die there.
I searched again and found a birth in 1827 in Germany listed as Christine (not Christian)
Christine August Heinrich Hager
Elbe-Weser Triangle, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages and Burials 1574-1945
Birth 9 August 1927
Baptism 19 August 1827 Blumenthal, Blumenthal, Hannover, PreuBren
Would appreciate any thoughts
