Hi All I have Lorrae's permission to submit this query to the List. I hope someone who knows the MARBURG area will be able to help my friend, Max Knight in New Zealand. His Great Grandfather was George KNIGHT who married Maria WAKELING in 1862 in Montacute Tasmania. WHERE DID HE/THEY ORIGINATE? They had three children who survived - George Frederick (b 20.08.1865 Bothwell, Tasmania), Gertrude and Albert (Max's Grandfather). Maria died in 1875, buried in Hobart, and the remainder of the family 'probably' moved to the area around Glen Innes in the 1880s. George Frederick married Jane CHARTERS in 1882 and by the mid 1890s, he and his family were living in Ipswich, Qld. as did Gertrude who married William HUND in 1893. Albert married in Hughenden in 1902. The other question is - is the SLAUGHTERMAN from MARBURG who died 08.02.1919, this George? The Death Certificate 19/000538 does not give the names of parents.
