I would love to know all you know of this family. I know the following, although it is not absolute fact, because I am slightly confused in my searches due to their having been two Frederick Landvoigts (one Frederick John) in the same area at roughly the same time, and I fear on points my paths cross the two: Dr Frederick Landvoigt MD (b. 1823-24, Germany, d. 1898, South Yarra, Victoria) took his degree from the University of Jena, Germany in 1857. Son of Frederick Landvoigt and Elizabeth Backe Golten. Medical doctor, arrived SA by 1854 where his daughter Clara was born in October, and then apparently returned to Germany to complete his doctorate. (This is speculation, but the only explanation, unless he was not Dr Landvoigt, although all other details seem to point to this). Returned to Sandhurst (Bendigo) Victoria early in 1857, where his other children Alfred Henry (later Alfred Ernest 1857-1915), Ottilie Allwiene (1859-60) and Anna (1863-63) were born. Consulting surgeon to Bendigo Hospital, and a physician and most probably a specialist in children's diseases in various Victorian country towns, including Chiltern, Donald and Birchip, and also possibly in Prahran, Melbourne. married Wilhelmina Frederica Deinhardt (various spellings), b. 1821 (Possibly in Weimar, Germany), d. South Yarra, Victoria 1911. daughter of Godlieb Deenhardt and Wilhelmina Frederica Unknown. As I say, I am not yet completely certain of all of these details, and would warmly welcome any comments or clarifications.
