Redirecting this G2G post. I don't have knowledge of German research, so if someone would like to push this family tree back, I have gotten them back to Germany, or Prussia. Thank you.
Matthes Gardy (or Gardi) and Marie Werban (or Werran), sailed from Hamburg in 1857 to Adelaide with 2 children.
Matthes' parents were Matthes Gardy and Anna (Kowla).
Marie's parents were Martin Werban and Ann (Jeitz).
Will also be looking at pushing back on Marie Washusen's family, from Othfresen, Hanover. Parents Andreas Washusen and Johanne Marie Gamblebe.
Question was as below, but we solved it:
Marianne is the mother Matthes Gardy-13.
Matthes' death certificate, listed on his page, says his father is Matthes, and mother Marianne (nee Werban).
I believe his father is listed in the Victoria BDM Index as Matthew Gardy, death in 1898, 2755/1898, but can't find his wife.
A Trove article for Matthes Gardy-13, says he came to Australia from Germany with his two parents when he was 3, ( https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/72635938?searchTerm=%22matthes%20gardy%22 ) which would be about 1858. I wonder if it is a hint in the article, that Marianne died before 1872, because it says that his father was 'one of the first settlers in the Ashens district', but doesn't mention the mother.
I can't find a ship listing as well. I can't find a cemetery listing for either of them, at Murtoa, or Ashens, on Billiongraves or Find My Grave. No listing on PROV or NAA
Any other hints the Australia team can think of? Thank you.
This family isn't in my family, so I won't be buying a certificate.
I'll add a Germany tag to this, to see if anyone may find their departure, birth or marriage in Germany. I wouldn't know the first thing about German research.
