Hi Group, We are interested in information on Christian Emke. He arrived in Australia in 1865 on the ship Susanne Godeffroy. He was born circa 1842 and his last place of residence was given as Linden Holstein. We have only been able to find reference to one other Emke in Qld up to 1914. We have also looked at Victoria, WA, Tasmania, NSW and SA We have looked under different variants of the surname. Can anyone help. Regards Noel & Del Bergman

Hello Dell & Noel On Qld. Roll 1881-1884 there is a Carl EMPE at Cabbage-Tree Creek, Enogerra. Having a look around FamilySearch, these spellings come up for "Emke": EMPKE EHMKE EHMCKE (Schleswig Holstein) EHMCK EHMKE Using Wildcards on Digger CD - there's a marriage in Brisbane 23 July 1876 of Christian Friedrich EHRKE to Maria Wilhelmine Louise EHRENREICH and on that same CD some of their children up to 1889. EMKE = EHMKE = EHRKE? Di R

There is certainly a Christian EHRKE in the records, marrying in Brisbane in 1876, died in 1926 and buried in Bald Hills cemetery. Kerry
