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.

Mine is the family of Bertha. Bertha married another ship desserter, Frederick William Petersen. Fred was from Denmark and the son of Martin. They settled at Forest Range. One of their children, Marie Agnes Petersen, married James Creswell Fry (see Fry or Pearce Family).

I would appreciate any information on:

• Carl Wilhelm Matte's parents (Gottlob Friedrich and mother not named but we have a photo), born 1818 in Hanover, Prussia
• 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.

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.
