Biography

Anne Cathrine Petersen's birth record from the Church Books of Bjerning, Sonder Tyrstrup, Haderslev, says she was born on 22 September 1865 and Christened on October 15. Her parents were Peter Andreason Hjort Petersen and Anne Mette Kirstine Petersdatter Refshauge, 28 years. John Hansen Peterson and Anne Christina Claussen.^[1]

On 6 October 1872, the Lammershagen sailed from Hamburgh with 380 souls on board, bound for Queensland, including the full paying passengers Anne (6) and Johann Petersen (1 1/4)^[2], and free passengers under the Immigration Act of 1872, Johann 33, Anna 37, and Christine (1/2) Peterson^[3]. Christine^[3] and Johann Jnr^[2] died on the voyage. The Lammershagen arrived in Moreton Bay on 8 January 1873 and went into Quarantine on 9 January 1873.

Anne Catharina married Erasmus Kenwrick in 1882.^[4] Anne and Erasmus had four children and then tragedy struck and Anne was widowed when Erasmus died in 1889.^[5] An inquest into the death of Erasmus KENDRICK was held in 1889.^[6]

Annie Catherine Kenwick married Charles Thompson in 1890 in Brisbane.^[7]

On 16 January, 1891, Charles Roseneus Thompson took the oath of Allegiance to Queen Victoria at Brisbane in Petty Sessions, becoming a British subject in the "Colony" of Queensland. The following day he was handed his Certificate of Naturalization which states that he was a 32 year-old laborer from Denmark who lived in Mary Street, Brisbane.^[8]

They were living at Jubille [Jubilee] Estate Paddington, when their son Reuben was born September 1895.^[9] In The Brisbane Courier on 10 September, 1895 the Queensland Government advertised a list of Persons about to be omitted from the Electoral roll for Brisbane North District which includes "2669 Thompson, Charles Roseneus" because he has left the division^[10] so it was around this time that they moved to the house in Morningside. Anna Katrina's name was not on the list because Queensland women were not eligible to vote in Federal elections until 1902 and in State elections until 1905; voting in QLD became compulsory in 1914 (indigenous and other non-European Australians excluded)^[11]. In The Brisbane Courier on 23 February 1915 the Queensland Government advertised a bi-monthly electoral list for February of Persons appearing to be qualified to vote at the Election of a Member of the Legislative Assembly in the Year 1915, for the Electoral District of BULIMBA (South Brisbane Division) to which objections were invited. On this list are:
- Thompson, Anna Katrina, cr. Maud and Ernest-sts., Morningside, housewife, l8 Jan., 1915, F.
- Thompson, Charles Roseneus, cr. Maud and Ernest sts., Morningside, seaman, 13 Jan, 1915, M.
- Thompson, Frank Roseneus. Maud-st., Morningside, leather worker. 30 Jan., 1915, M.^[12]
