I have Carl Dueffel (Duffel) coming to Ozz aboard the Marbs / Merbz to Moreton Bay in 1855. I think his parents were Johann George Dueffel & Elisabeth Kirchgessner. It seems Lis died aboard the Marbs, & Jo died shortly after the Marbs docked. Carl m. Louisa Schroder ( I'm sure there will be a zillion ways of spelling that ) in 1868. Louisa's parents, from her death records appear to be George Shroder & Margreta Mouse. Carl at 11-12 years walked 300ish kms with his 7 yr old bro. & 3 year old sis. to the station Tieryboo, not far from Condamine. I think (or hope) his Aunt & Uncle were with them. Lis's sis Mary Barbara Kirchgessner & her hubby Johann Geiger were on the same boat. Carl settled somewhere in the Burnett region (??) ... he apparently had a team of bullocks that he used from Roma to ?? ... maybe Longreach ? His daughter & her hubby are buried in the Murgon cemetery, Carl has a monument in Miles. I am interested in any GEIGERS, DUEFFEL, SHRODERS, WEISS/Man ... also BROWNS (I have no idea where they come from originally) that settled in in the Chinchilla, Condamine, Murgon, Miles area. Cheers all Carolyn in Innisfail
