John has said Louise Bliesner is also the daughter of Carl August Bliesner who married Louise Ostoike and she was born Louise Bliesner b. 19 August 1872. m Hermann Albrecht. I have that August & Louise (nee Ostoike) arrived on Reichstag :- The second voyage of the Reichstag sailed from Hamburg on the 17th of April 1872 and arrived at Moreton Bay on the 1st August 1872. Captain : H. Hauschildt Surgeon : Dr. Johansen Free Passengers BLIESNER August 28 Louise 23 So Louise would have been born later in the same month. Perhaps they didn't know to register the birth ??? as I've searched and can find no record of her birth in Q'land. But then Alan has Elizabeth ( Louise Elizabeth) attending school in 1880 with her siblings in later years.
