Hi Jean My GGfather PETER HEINEMANN married MARGARET ROSER in Toowoomba 4 August 1872. I haven't gone too far with my research on this line of the family but have a number of scattered threads and some probable connections. On the shipping records the most likely for my family and a possible for your research (ages and dates aren't in agreement with your message though) is the "CESAR GODEFFROY" departed Hamburg 27/10/1855 with HEINEMANN family JOH.. (age 42), MARGARETHA (29), MARIA (21), HEINRICH (19), CARL (16), CONRAD (10) and JOHANN PETER (infant). I suspect that the youngest is my PETER (given that it was fairly common to take on your middle name) but haven't progressed this. The family was from Obernorcke in Hessen ...... I can't find this town(?) ...... my PETER was from Selters in Hessen and I hope to connect all this. Another shipping record which looks good at least for the age of your JOHANNES is the "JOHAN CESAR" departed 30/9/1855 carrying JOHS. (aged 29) and ELISABETH (! 24) both from Frankenburg in Hessen. My PETER and MARGARET had the following children: JOHN HENRY, ELIZABETH RACHEL, PETER ANTON, CHARLES FREDERICK, ALBERT ERNEST, WILLIAM LAWRENCE, EMILIE MAY, JOHN ARTHUR, HILDA EVELEEN ..... and finally my grandfather HERBERT VICTOR. Toowoomba and Charleville are the main areas of interest. Let me know if we are in the same HEINEMANN family and we might be able to exchange further. Regards John Watt
