Julius Eugene Wilhelm Schultz was born in Prussia in 1846. His father was Heinrich but his mother's name is not known. He was a young sailor when in 1865 he desserted his ship, the Mary E Ray, in South Australia. In June 1866 he married Charlotte Matte. Charlotte was also born in Prussia and came to South Australia with her family and parents. Father, Carl Wilhelm Matte and mother Caroline Wilhelmine Klettner had arrived in South Australia in 1855. Carl was an undertaker (of Stepney) and cabinet maker. They had property in Summertown which Charlotte and Julius Eugene Wilhem worked. Charlotte was widowed young and continued to operate the property and raise her children.

• Caroline Wilhelmine Klettner's parents, born 1825 in Woldenburg, Prussia (now Dobiegniew, Poland)

Pearce Family

Researching:
Lilles Mouat Pearce was born in 1880 at Crystal Brook, South Australia. Her parents were James Cresswell Pearce and Joanna Mariah Townsend. Both were born in South Australia, James to Jemima Pearce and James Crosswell in 1850 at Mt Lofty and Joanna to William Anslem Townsend and Agnus Mouat at Angorinchina. In 1874 Lilles married John Brock Fry Jnr (son of John Brock Fry - see Fry family).

James Creswell was my grandfather. Much is known of the Fry family.  The Cresswell/Crosswell link is now well researched, I can supply details upon request.

I would like further details on Joanna Mariah Townsend's family. Her father, William Anslem Townsend was born in Llantwit Juxta, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1815 to William Townsend and Margaret Thomas. Agnus Mouat was born in the Shetland Islands in 1816 to Magnus Mouat and Margorie Sinclair.

I welcome any information on any of these families.

Brown Family

Researching:
Thomas Brown was a shepherd born in 1796 in Woodford, Wiltshire, England. His parents were Richard Brown and Ann Yeats(?). In 1825 he married Anna Ings. Anna was born in 1801 to John Ings and Hannah Yeates (or Yeats). In 1840 Thomas and Anna sailed for Adelaide with their family.

1. Elizabeth married William Abbott (7 children)

8. Jesse died as an infant
9. Thomas died as an infant
10. Ellen
11. Joshua
12. Mary Rebekah married John Jennings (4 children)
13. John
14. David

Mine is the family of Harriet Brown and John Brock Fry (see Fry family). Brothers-in-law John Brock Fry and Henry Green puchased land in what is now known as Lenswood. Both establishing long lines of Brown descendents in the region.

I know that Thomas continued to be a shepherd when in Adelaide. But what of his parents, Richard Brown and Ann Yeats (?) They were from Wishford and Richard had died when Thomas was just 11.

More is known of the Ings family. John Ing's parents were William Ings and Mary Read. On the Ings side it is possible to trace back to 1515 (though Philip m Mary; William (Inges) m Anne; Thomas (Inges) m Joan; William (Inges); Thomas (Inges); m Elizabeth; John (Ings) born about 1515. The family was continuously in the Wiltshire region.

Less is known about Anna's mother, Hannah Yeates. Her parents may have been Thomas Yeats and Ann Pullen. Anna's father, John Ings, may have been previously married to Phoebe Dew.

Any information on Yeats, Yeates, Pullen or Brown families would be appreciated.

Fry Family

Philip James Fry was born to John Fry and Alice Richardson on 1 May 1789 in England. (Details of two baptisms can be found 2 May 1789 - St George in the East, Middlesex or Mulberry Gardens Pell Street Lady Huntingdons, Stepney, London. In October 1826 at St Dunstan's, Stepney, he married Sarah Harward Brock. Sarah was born 11 April 1804 and was the daughter of John Brock and Sarah Skeat. Philip had previously been married in 1819, to Martha Brock, Sarah's aunt. The family moved to Kent where Philip was clerk of the Chapel of Ease, Broadstairs for 7 years. He is also listed as a painter at one point.

1.  Sarah Elizabeth married Samuel Bartlett (4 children)
2.  James John married Christina Skether
3.  Alice Pruden
4.  Phillip James died as a child
5.  John Brock married Harriet Brown
6.  Martha Ann married a Groves (1 child)
7.  Caroline Fanny
8.  Rosa Susan married Edward James Bone (2 children)
9.  William Pruden did not marry
10. Nathaniel Pruden died as an infant

Mine is the family of John Brock Fry and Harriet Brown (see Brown family). Prior to moving to Australia John had been an apprentice baker and a sailor. John and Harriet married at St James Church of England (Australia), Blakiston in South Australia in 1859. They settled in the Forest Range area. John was a sawyer and Harriet farmed. He became teacher at the school in the district - Jerry's flat (later Forest School, now Lenswood Primary School) from 1 July 1871 to his resignation on 31 Dec 1900. Some of his many descendents have attended the school (my children being the 5th generation).

The family bible details Philip's children. But what of him and his life - an interesting character we should explore more?  And what of his first wife, Martha?  His father is listed as John Fry and his mother as Alice Richardson. She was born a Pruden (which explains the carrying of that name).  One of our family members has trolled along the Pruden line.  I have much information on the Fry's in the Adelaide Hills area, and knowledge of John's brother William who moved to Mildura in Victoria (he had no children). 

I also know that Sarah Brock's parents were John Brock and Sarah Skeat. John's parents were Joseph Brock and Martha Woods, which links into cousins in Victoria. Sarah Skeat's parents were Henry Skeat and Ann Harwood. 

Any information on any of these families is most welcome.

Pether Family

William Thomas Pether was born in 1809 in Crowley, Oxford, England. He married Elizabeth Howse from Baldon, Oxford (born 1817). They moved to Western Australia in 1838 with their first child (3 more being born in Perth).

1. Sophia married Thomas Fruin
2. Richard William married Elizabeth Birch
3. Eliza died as a child
4. Henry married Rebecca Hall (see Hall Family) (4 children)

In 1841 William was employed as a carpenter and in March that year contracted to repair Government House. He died in April 1844 of typhus aged 34. It is believed Elizabeth then took the 2 boys (not sure about Sophia) back to England for their education. Both boys later returned (Richard to Perth and Henry to Adelaide) as printers.

Mine is the family of Henry Pether and Rebecca Hall. Henry established the first newspaper in Burra before dying at just 43 leaving Rebecca and their 4 children to move back to Norwood and the Hall family.

The Pether family of Crowley is well documentented (although all information is welcome). I have details back to John Pether, born 7 Oct 1681 who married a Mary Dickens. John's father was another John and is mother is unknown.

I would particularly like information on William's mother, Ann Russell and her parents. I would also like any information on Elizabeth Pether (nee Howse) and her parents. Where did she go when she went back to England. Where were the boys, Richard and Henry, schooled?

Hall Family

Researching

George Hall (was born in 1818 to William Hall and Frances Durrant in Sussex, England). He married Ellen Crawford in 1841. There are some published misconceptions about George and Ellen, one being that they were Irish.  Confirmed is that they married  in Kent in 1849.  At the time she was a servant in France.  It is not clear where he was based, however 1849 finds them and some children on a boat to Adelaide.  George worked at the
Adelaide Club and made softdrink as a second income until the softdrink business blossomed into George Hall & Sons of Norwood. Both his mother and father lived with them at Marryatville.  George died in 1881 and Ellen died in 1872, both at Norwood.  All four are burried at West Tce, Adelaide.  We have a book of George & Ellen's with family addresses in the UK.

1. Mary (no children)
2. Eleanor married John Cornelius Lyons (2 children)
3. George died as an infant (in France)
4. William married Emma Maria Hearn (3 children)
5. Henry married Charlotte Howett (5 children)
6. Rebecca married Henry Pether (4 children) 
7. Thomas married
8. James married Jessie Emmeline Bleechmore (8 children)
9. Edward married Ada Catherine Chapman (10 children)
10. Fannie married Arthur Threlfall (2 children)

Mine is the family of Rebecca Hall and Henry Pether. Rebecca was born on the ship (The Florentia) on the way to Port Adelaide. After Henry died (see Pether) Rebecca lived in both Elizabeth Street and later Edward Street at Norwood. She then moved up to Lenswood to Givendale, the home of her daughter Eva and Henry Trevenen.  Eleanor's  children were also, at various times, living at Lenswood.

All information on George Hall or Ellen Crawford before they came to Australia or their forebears is most welcome.  The Crawford side is particularly lean.

Blight and Bray Families

Researching:
James William Blight was born in 1850 in St Martins, Guernsey, Channel Islands, England. He immigrated to Australia (first to Victoria then South Australia) in 1871. In 1874 he married Mary Ann Marks (born 1855 in Adelaide - daughter of Henry Marks and Mary Ann Reynolds).

1. William Henry married Horeuce J Williams (?)
2. Samuel John married Augusta Amelia Baum (4 children died 1906), Clara Symons (4 children), Charlotte Amber, Bett (?)

10. Herbert died as an infant

James became a publican (the same occupation as his father in law) and worked at Callington, Kanmantoo, Nairne and Broken Hill in hotels supporting the mining industry. He died at 40 in Broken Hill. Mary Ann later married Clarence James Bray in Broken Hill.

Mine is the family of Samuel John and Augusta Anna Baum. Their sole surviving daughter (Alma Ameilia) was my grandfather.

I welcome any information, but particularly information on:

• James William Blight prior to his arrival in South Australia (his father was William and his mother unknown)
• Mary Ann's grandparents are also unknown (parents were Henry Marks and Mary Ann Reynolds - both were in Adelaide before 1855)

Howard and Birt Families

Researching:
Sarah Howard is a mystery (with a lot of rumours). She married Thomas Birt in 1833 at St Dunstan, Stepney, England. Thomas was born in Middlesex in 1800. (His parents were Thomas and Grace Birt).
Thomas became the master and Sarah the matron of the Biggleswade Union Workhouse and they had 9 children. In 1855 they immigrated to Adelaide, South Australia.

1. Peter Howard married Sarah Denby in 1874 (9 children)
2. William Howard married Ann Coombe in 1865 (7 children)
3. George Howard married Ellen Coombe in 1862 (4 children)
4. Margaret Howard married William Andrew Trevenen in 1862 (8 children)
5. Mary Forster Howard did not marry
6. Henry Howard married Helen (Ellen) Wiliams in 1880 (4 children)
7. Gibson Howard died in England as a child
8. Charles Howard died in England as a child
9. Sarah Howard married Samuel Vernell (no children)

Mine is the family of Margaret Howard Birt and William Andrew Trevenen (see Trevenen Family).

I would like to track information on Sarah Birt (nee Howard) and Thomas Birt further. In particular to research various family myths/stories about the family of Sarah (and the reputed Howards of Effingham links).

In Adelaide Thomas worked in a bank.

Sarah became the matron of the first women's refuge (corner William and Sydenham Sts, Norwood) and later of the first children's home established by the Church of England (Carrington St).

Thomas died in 1880 and Sarah died in 1890 - both in Adelaide.

Trevenen Family

Researching:   See also https://trevenenfamilyinaustralia.wordpress.com/

Henry Trevenen was born about 1796 in Cornwall, England. He was a farmer in Perranuthnoe, a shopkeeper (Breage Churchtown, Cornwall) and later butcher (Payneham, South Australia).  He married Jane Andrew in 1825 and had 5 children (Jane, Henry, William Andrew, Mary and Eliza). They moved to South Australia (in separate groups around 1849-1851).

1. Jane married William Wear in 1882 and lived at Payneham (no children)
2. Henry married Eliza Behanna in 1845 (in England) (4 children)
3. William Andrew married Margaret Howard Birt in 1862 (8 children)
4. Mary married Fredercik Scarfe in 1850 (0 children?)
5. Eliza married John Pitt in 1855 (10 children)

Mine is the family of William Andrew and Margaret Howard Birt. William operated a butcher shop with his father Henry, at Marden. William died at on 2 Nov 1878 at 47 as the result of a fall from a horse. He was buried at St Matthew's on Kensington Road. His headstone is now near the church walls. Margaret bought up their children and later moved to WA with 4 of her children. She died in 1929. My Great Grandfather was a son of William and Margaret and purchased Givendale at Lenswood. SA.

I would be interested in information on the Trevenen and Andrew sides from Cornwall. I am able to track the Henry Trevenen through Perranuthnoe, Porthleven, Churchtown, Parish of Breage, Kerrier, Cornwall - then Payneham, South Australia and Jane Trevenen (nee Andrew) through Sithney,then Porthleven, then Churchtown, Cornwall, then Payneham, South Australia.  I have gone back on Henry's side to his Great, Grandparents (Edward and Mary). Jane's side only leads to her parents.

Baum Family

Researching:
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Baum (born 24 Dec 1799, Lautenthal, Prussia - died 13 Jul 1858, Dog Trap Farm) and wife Johanne Christiane Friederick nee Hartmann (born 31 May 1803, Prussia - died 8 Jun 1888 Forest Range)
