Passenger list from Germany to N.S.W. after 1840

[fishy]

Hi  there,

I am trying to find out for my husband a relative a Willhelm Kolln and wife Hannah Eugene Lane came to N.S.W. from germany would probably be after 1861. Willhelms parents were Mathias Kolln and Katherine Groth, they were married in Liverpool N.S.W.  Hannah Eugene Lane was born in London 1861 her parents were William Lane and Mary Coplan .  Willhelm was born in Holstein in Germany in 1840.  We only know that there was a second youngest child of Willhelm and Hannah with the name of John Kolln.

Perhaps if I could get the passenger list fro them would be good, but unfortunately dont know the ship or the dates when they would have sailed to N.S.W.

Would appreciate very much if someone could help me with this inquiry thanks.

Barbara.

Hi Barbara 

You could start by searching the indexes at NSW State Records:
http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-online#immigration

Records are better for Assisted Immigrants than for ones who paid their own way, so if you're lucky they came out on an immigration scheme of some sort and there will be paperwork for them (if it's survived).

Would they have come from Germany or from England, do you think (Hannah being English)?

Cheers
Prue

P.S.  Did you mean Hannah was born in 1841?

HI PrueM,
Thanks for your reply, Hannah Eugene lane was born in London in 1861.I looked on the indexes N.S.w. state Records but found nothing. William Lane and Mary coplan were her parents, and would have come from London I expect. We know willhelm was born Holstein germany though.


Is there no Bmd's for germany?? do you know.
