Hello Albert I only have, as an attachment that was sent to me, children enrolled at Wilsonton School 1939 to 1956. I'm having trouble with my printer and can't get it to print up for me. I can only read the names from the computer screen. I'll send it to you, offlist, as an attachment. I don't know what the name of the book is or when it was printed: it looks like it's a photocopy of a school jubilee or similar. The pages have been donated. Di Randell.

Albert, the piggery I remember was owned by Nev Fowler and there was another one. At this time they were being housed intensively with a very scientific diet of grain, vitamins and minerals etc - no scraps allowed.

Hi all, My ancestor Edward Weber seemed to have immigrated "indirect". I have him leaving Hamburg on the "Herder" in May 1881 which went to New York, via Le Havre. I'm assuming he left the ship in Le Havre as he wasn't listed as disembarking in NY. Somehow he made it to Moreton Bay to first elope (family story) and then get married in November 1881 (certificate), with a daughter born 6 months later. Trying to find connections for the sea voyages are a proving little difficult! I'm assuming he went from Le Havre to England, possibly Southampton, and then to Australia. Indexes for 1881 England to Australia are proving hard for me to find/access.

My gg grandparents also arrived from London. They went to NSW (Morpeth) in 1849 on the Parland. There were a number of German families who travelled on that ship to work in the NSW vineyards.

Hi Del & Noel I found from the entry for Samuel Bleich in the T&DDFHS book 'Darling Downs Biographical Register to 1900' Samuel and Louisa lived Greenwattle Ridge off Gowrie Road Toowoomba in the Black Gully area. Therefore Judy is quite correct in suggesting the children may have gone to Wilsonton school. I am at home, so haven't looked at the Wilsonton records. Cheers Marionne

Hi Anna, Thank you. After what you said and others on the list, we managed to find a map of Toowoomba and District and found Green Wattle St at Wilsonton and it isn't far from Charlton, so it sounds as though it is the right place.

Hi Gloria, We aren't sure if there has been a book written on the La Rochelle, but there is a lot of information in the books Emigrants from Hamburg series written by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke. The whole collection is now available on CD from the Qld Family History Society. It contains the passenger list of the voyage, age of the person, last place of residence and occupation, the date of departure from Hamburg, information on the ship itself, it also contains newspaper reports about the voyage and in the case of the La Rochelle in 1865, there are many. We have also heard there are extracts from a diary written by the Supertendant Stuart Beach on Dunwich where the ship was held in quarantine.

Hello Noel & Del My ancestor Hugo Julius MAY departed Hamburg, Germany, for London, England, 8 September 1877, on board the "Virgo". His arrival record in London hasn't been found todate. He departed London, 14 September 1877, on board the "Scottish Hero" for Australia. Arrived at Rockhampton, Queensland, 12 December 1877, just four days before his 21st Birthday. Hugo's brother Albert age 16 who was sponsted by him sailed from Germany via London, England. Departed London on the "Decca" 26 Jun 1889, and arrived Moreton Bay, Qld. Aust. 17 Aug 1889. His voyage between Germany and England has not been researched to hard to date. Beryl

Dear Noel and Del Heinrich and Elise Bruckner also emigrated from Germany to England, married there, worked for a couple of years, then emigrated. Heinrich was an engineer and was injured in a bridge-building accident and of course had no income as a result. So they decided to emigrate to Qld. He worked as an engineer on the ship and Elise was listed as passenger. They lived in Ipswich and Heinrich worked in the Railway Workshops before then establishing his sawmill at Boonah in c. 1884.

Even though some of them aren't for the exact time frame, it is a wonderful insight into the conditions that many of our families underwent. We were surprised to read that one of the families, the Windolf family emigrated on the ship Gauntlet which arrived in Moreton Bay on the 20th February 1878 and that the family came Indirect. They travelled from Hamburg to London on the "Martin" and then changed ships to the "Gauntlet". At that time it was more common for people to emigrate using the Direct shipping method from Hamburg or Bremen and it was only after 1880 that Indirect became the norm. Has anyone else found instances where before 1880, their family emigrated Indirect. We know that there were other instances where people emigrated from Germany to England and lived there for in some cases for several years before then emigrating to Australia. My Bergmann ancestor of Johann Carl Ludwig Voje/Bergmann left Mecklenburg between 1852 and 1858 and travelled to England. He met his future wife Anna Wellbrock in London where they married. She herself had emigrated from Hanover. They then emigrated with their two children in 1862 on the "Whirlwind". We have never been able to find the exact date of when either of them left Germany, but we know from looking at microfilms of the Parish Records from their relevant areas, that they were both confirmed in their birthplaces at the age of 14.

Noel and Del, My grandfather, Gustav Kopittke, together with his sister Augusta Kopittke (later married Johann Friedrich Eggert Meier) and parents Daniel and Charlotte Kopittke emigrated indirectly, arriving in Brisbane 27 March 1876 aboard the "Western Monarch". My father recalled his father telling him that the English trains did not run as smoothly as the German trains and that they'd all been afraid that the English train would fall apart. I have not yet looked seriously for their voyage from Germany to England. That might have to wait till I retire!
