Biography

Middle name varies across records. QLD BDM records have his name as:

• Henry Frederic Schneider (marriage record to Christina Binda, m.1865)
• Henry Friederich Schneider (birth record for son Johan William Schneider, b.1881)
• Henry Friedrich Schneider (birth record for daughter Kathleen Florence Schneider, b.1884)
• Henry Frederick Schneider (birth record for son Emiel Christian Schneider, b.1887)
• Henry Frederik Schneider (birth record for son Henry Frederick Schneider, b.1889)
• Henry Frederich Schneider (death record, 1892) - this has his parents as Johann Schneider and Katrina Alles

First name also seen written as Heinrich, but source has slipped my mind. (And if you think this is bad, his wife's maiden name has half a dozen variations and I can't tell which is right.) - M.J.

"Born before" date set fifteen years before his marriage to Christina in 1865.
