Fredolin and Elizabetha Schmeider aboard the Fanny Kirchner from Germany in 1858

Oh, Yes davecapps.
I understood that.

I am feel quite certain Elizabeth (junior) was an older child of the couple, not younger.
Older than Carl.
But it is possible I guess, she was born away from her parents' marriage place or  even eleswhere.

I have searched Nordweil and Göllheim for her birth, to no avail
I can´t find a marriage for Fridolin and Elizabetha either

MMmm...
At some stage I have seen something which asserted the couple, Fredolin and Elizabetha, were married in Baden. Am I right in saying it is the same location as you have searched?

I have a note in my scribbles which says married  Baden in Germany 1856

I cannot now locate where I saw the "fact" And possibly it was merely someone's thought.

Anyway, you have been such a help, I'm sure Leisa will appreciate it.

Thank you Buttons. xx

I often visit my great grandfather's grave in the Bundaberg cemetery and pray for answers.  x

Dear Leisa,

My apologies, but I have only just seen your post from 10 April 2023.

It was definitely not my intention to upset you, nor is it my intention to argue with you. I understand how precious family memories and stories are. You were obviously extremely close to your much-loved father and have an understandable desire to keep both his memory, and that of your ancestors, alive.

I would very much like to see the newspaper article you mention from the time of your great-grandparents' wedding anniversary. I would imagine it refers to their Golden Anniversary in 1931? (If you have already posted it here on Rootschat, I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find it.)

The article would add to my knowledge about the "Fanny Kirchner" and the immigrants who arrived aboard her. It may also help to correct any misassumptions I have made in my research.

With regards my article in "Ances-tree" (March 2021), the birth date of 16 Feb 1858 for your great-grandfather Carl is as per the 'Picture Ipswich' website and the (Ipswich) Early Settlers Database website. (You didn't give a date of birth in your posts, as far as I could see, prior to my article being published, and your great-grandfather's headstone does not provide a specific one.)

The daughter, Elisabeth Marie, mentioned in the article, married Henry DAMM and passed away 16 Oct 1879, aged just 23, that is, she was born c.1856

I have never stated that the SCHMEIDERs were not aboard the "Fanny Kirchner" - I have said that, given the information I had to hand, it did not seem likely. With over 200 passengers aboard the "Fanny Kirchner" and approx. half of these unidentified, I am always happy to stand corrected with any of my research.

with kind regards
Lisa

Thank you Lisa,

I know that you were only trying to help me.

Kind regards,
Leisa
