Dreyer Family
I am seeking any information from Germany, or other places, for any of the
following:
On the 24 May 1845 Georg Ludwig DREYER, born about 1800 in Germany occupation Miner,
and his son: Johann Georg DREYER, born about 1829,from Altenau in the Harz Mountains Hannover area
left Bremen, Germany, on the
ship "Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel", arriving at Port Adelaide, South
Australia, Australia. on the 18 Sept 1845.
They were both employed at the new "Great Monster Copper Mine" at Burra,
South Australia, Georg Ludwig being the smelting master at the new mine.
His later occupations in Adelaide, South Australia are given as: builder
and barber.
Georg Ludwig's b; ? Germany
Married; Germany ?
Annie Louisa FOLLE ( father: Georg Andrew FOLLE,/ FOLTE mother:Maria BEHRENS ),
born about 1800, in Germany,
.Children;
Johann George Andrew DREYER born abt 1829 Gremany
Johann Friedrich August Sophus DREYER, born about 1830, in Germany,
Carl Edward William DREYER, born about 1834, in Germany,
William DREYER born 1834
Johanna Wilhelmine Friedrike DREYER born about 1835/6, in Germany.
Also a Peter DREYER (cousin), sailed from Bremen on the 12 - 10 - 1846
on the "Heloise", arriving at Port Adelaide on the 17 - 3 - 1847.
I have most of the Australian data of these people, but I have been
unable to find anything about them before they left Germany.
Louisa DREYER (nee FOLLE / FOLTE ) was a widow when she died at Branxholme,
Victoria in 1881, but in the years of searching in Australia I have not
yet found the death of her husband Georg Ludwig DREYER. I have found
that he was desceased around 1861 or before .
it sugeststo me that G.L.DREYER may have gone some where else or back to the Harz
Mountain area (Germany) and possibly died there.
I would love to hear from anyone that has any links to my family.
Kind regards from,
Lyn
