Hello Albert, My Ernst August SCHRADER [born Osterode am Harz] settled in Redfern area , had 6 daughters between 1870-86, four of them in Sydney , 1 in Newcastle and 1 in Wooloongong .[ only 4 have been registered.] No idea why he left Brisbane in 1866 to go to Sydney- Beausite 1866 Passenger He did a stint in Darlinghurst gaol 1873-74 for receiving stolen goods , allowed out early for good behavior. His own father was a Policeman and Prison Warder back in Osterode !! guess he knew the ropes of prison lofe. His wife Lydia had to have her 2nd child named Lydia in a Benevolent Asylum in Feb 1873 - 10 days after Ernst was 'sent down". Seems he got a sewing machine on the cheap. he became a Citizen in 1906. Interestingly , he had 2 businesses in his name at the time in the Sydney Directories- Cane / Chaircaning/ Wicker making industry. He trained as a Basketmaker in Osterode but wrote Arbeiter in his shipping record. Hope the above is of interest to you. Yvonne marshall in melbourne.
