Hi every-one, This is the brother of my ancestor, and several of us are currently researching his descendants. Would love to make contact with any-one with WESCHE connections, including OGDEN, FINLAY, DAVIS, HALL, TEMPLETON, STEVENSON, and WESCHE. As far as we can trace, there are no male WESCHE to carry on this line after the current generation. Johann Heinrich David WESCHE, (b. 16-Sep-1838, Liebenburg, Lewe, Hanover; d. 14-Jul-1923, Mackay, Qld, Australia) s/o Johann Heinrich WESCHE (b. 1802 Liebenburg, Lewe, Hanover; d. 1856 Gross Dohren, Hanover) and Johanne Marie GIESEKE (b. 1810, d. 1853 Lewe, Hanover) (Grandparents - Mori(t)z W(A)ESCHE and Anna Elizabeth WESCHE(N).) Arrived in Australia on "WANDRHAM" which departed Hamburg 16-Sep-1865, arrived Moreton Bay, Qld, - 12-Jan-1866. m 13-Jan-1869 Mackay, Qld, Australia - Anna Margarethe CLAUSSEN (b. c-1847 Friedrichskoog, Holstein, d. 15-Jul-1923, Mackay, Qld, Australia). d/o Tiesse CLAUSSEN and Anna BOTHMANN Arrived in Australia on "BEAUSITE" which departed Hamburg 25-Oct-1864, arrived Keppell Bay, Qld, - 7-Feb-1865 Illerate - Her mark (XX) on marriage certificate - thus spelling of names differs. Thanks for all help. Lorrae Johnson 13 Forest Avenue Plainland Q 4341 Phone/FAX: 07 5465 6725
