Here is a "Mewe" family in Altona from the 1803 Census:

His name would seem to have been Mewe
and MEWE sounds the same as MEEWE and the german 'W' is pronounced as 'V', so they would both sound like something between MAYVE[R] and MEEVE[R] but without the final 'R' sound.

Yes of course..
It is only a list of emigrants.

If you can get hold of his parents' names as wivenhoe suggested then perhaps they can be found.

 ??? It seems I cannot get hold of anymore than you folks have given me. Thank you so much. I have delved deeper, dug harder and chucked further.... :-) It is going to be a hard slog. Also... not being a German student anytime in my life, doesn't help either. I have applied for his marriage Cert of NSW from Joy MURRIN.... so waiting!! I do hope that has his parents name. Although I can see by his military absconding... he wanted to keep a low profile.
