BAUER: Heinrich & Christine

BAUER FAMILY: Husband: Heinrich (28) Wife: Christine (29) Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: Louise (3), Carl (2) Place of birth: Herbsleben (Gotha) Originated: Saxe-Coburg Final settlement: Stutterheim The Bauer family appear to have taken Dorothea Mascher with them to British Kaffraria. She was presumably Christine's mother but, being a widow and with no other means of support, she would have been left destitute with her family emigrating. The Bauer family would, however, have had to pay the costs of her voyage.

BERLIN: Gottlieb & Christine

BERLIN FAMILY: Husband: Gottlieb (36) Wife: Christine (30) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Hermann (2) Place of birth: Schapow (Prussia) Originated: Uckermark Final settlement: Wooldridge

BERNDT: Franz & Louise

BERNDT FAMILY: Husband: Franz (43) Wife: Louise (43) Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: Emilie (19), Franz (8) Place of birth: Ziegenhagen (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Unknown Franz & Louise Berndt are not registered as having disembarked at East London. It is, however, possible that they disembarked at Cape Town where they might have been offered work and a new contract.

BOCK: Wilhelm & Maria

BOCK FAMILY: Husband: Wilhelm (36) Wife: Maria (36) Occupation: Saddler Children: Mathilde (8), Fritz (7), Alwinus (5), Emilie (2) Place of birth: Liebenburg (Hannover) Originated: Hannover Final settlement: King William's Town

BOGULA FAMILY: Husband: Wilhelm (20) Wife: Ernestine (28) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: None Place of birth: Cottbus Originated: Brandenburg Final settlement: King William's Town

BRANNASCHK: Gottlob & Christ.

BRANNASCHK FAMILY: Husband: Gottlob (41) Wife: Christiane (32) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Auguste (12) Place of birth: Cottbus Originated: Brandenburg Final settlement: Hamburg

BRAUN: Wilhelm & Henriette

BRAUN FAMILY: Husband: Wilhelm (22) Wife: Henriette (23) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: None Place of birth: Herbsleben (Gotha) Originated: Saxe-Coburg Final settlement: Berlin

BROLL: Ferdinand & Caroline

BROLL FAMILY: Husband: Ferdinand (35) Wife: Caroline (31) Occupation: Shoemaker Children: None Place of birth: Braunschweig Final settlement: Unknown Ferdinand & Caroline Broll are not registered as having disembarked at East London.

BÜCHNER: Heinrich & Dorothea

BÜCHNER FAMILY: Husband: Heinrich (38) Wife: Dorothea (born Schneidewind - 32) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Wilhelm (11), Caroline (3), Louise (2) Place of birth: Herbsleben (Gotha) Originated: Saxe-Coburg Final settlement: Berlin

BURMEISTER: Ludwig

BURMEISTER FAMILY: Passenger: Ludwig (60) Wife: Widower Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: See comment below Place of birth: Parmen (Prussia) Originated: Uckermark Final settlement: Wooldridge Ludwig Burmeister was a widower who, because he was both over-age and unmarried, did not qualify for bounty for the voyage to British Kaffraria. He was possibly the father of Charlotte Russ and, being dependent upon his daughter and son-in-law, was brought with them to the new country.

BURMESTER: Marie

BURMESTER FAMILY: Passenger: Marie (24) Husband: None Occupation: Not given Children: None Place of birth: Braunschweig Final settlement: Unknown It is highly unlikely that Marie Burmester would have made the voyage alone. She was probably therefore related to another immigrant family or was the fiance / wife of a German Legionnaire and was coming to British Kaffraria to join her husband.

CHOMSE: August & Wilhelmine

CHOMSE FAMILY: Husband: August Eduard (41) Wife: Wilhelmine (32) Occupation: Teacher Children: Emil (12), Bernhard (11), Adeline (9), Bertha (8), Richard (7), Emma (5), Alfred (3), Rosa (1) Place of birth: Sobotta (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Unknown August Eduard was a teacher by profession. Teachers were needed to accompany the German immigration to British Kaffraria but it was recognised that they and preachers would have been too poor to pay for the voyage. The cost of their passage would therefore have been paid by the British Kaffrarian government. Once there, the Chomse family would have received the same benefits for buying land as the other German immigrants.

DOBROWSKI: Wilhelm & Mine

DOBROWSKI FAMILY: Husband: Wilhelm (37) Wife: Mine (27) Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: Wilhelm (4), August (2) Place of birth: Caatz (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Bell

EBERHARDT FAMILY: Husband: Christian (36) Wife: Elise (32) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: August (7) Place of birth: Braunschweig Originated: Brunswick Final settlement: Bodiam

EHMCKE FAMILY

EHMCKE FAMILY: Passengers: Carl (17), Johann (13), Fritz (11), Friedericke (8) Place of birth: Straßburg (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Unknown The Ehmcke family were orphans who probably came out to British Kaffraria with their guardians. These were probably Robert & Friedericke Fritsch. Being classified as part of the Fritsch family, they would have been granted the usual amount of land per child as if they were the Fritsch children. (See entry below)

EICHHORN: Daniel & Dorothea

EICHHORN FAMILY: Husband: Daniel (49) Wife: Dorothea (47) Occupation: Carpenter Children: Nicolaus (19), Christian (14), Louise (12), Georg (8), Dorothea (2) Place of birth: Heldburg (Saxe-Meinigen) Originated: Saxe-Meinigen Final settlement: Panmure

ELLMER FAMILY: Husband: Georg (50) Wife: Johanna (40) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Eduard (26), Caroline (14), Wilhelm (6) Place of birth: Lichte Originated: Schwarzburg-Rudoldstadt Final settlement: Panmure The Elmer family also possibly brought with them the orphan children from the Krampf family. Under the rules of emigration, these children could accompany Georg and Johanna Ellmer as long as it had been legally testified that they were indeed their legal guardians. The usual rules for bounty and land purchase would then have applied as though the Elmers had another three children. (See entry below)

EMMERICH: Martin & Wilhelmine

EMMERICH FAMILY: Husband: Martin (49) Wife: Wilhelmine (49) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Martin (20), Margaretha (17), Wilhelm (14), Margaretha (baby) Place of birth: Florstadt (Hessen) Originated: Hessen Final settlement: Stutterheim It would seem that Eva Schaub was related to the Emmerich family. If so, she was probably Wilhelmine's younger sister, now orphaned. Being unmarried and having no brother to care for her, she would have been dependent upon her older sister. They therefore brought her to British Kaffraria with them, paying for her voyage. (See entry below)

FRITSCH: Robert & Fredericke

FRITSCH FAMILY: Husband: Robert (34) Wife: Friedericke (38) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Wilhelmine (2) Place of birth: Straßburg (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Unknown The Fritsch family possibly brought with them the orphaned children of the Ehmcke family who were presumably related to them -- they were therefore the children's guardians. The five children of this family would have added to the amount of land to which the Fritsch family were entitled. (See entry above) They are not listed as having disembarked at East London. It is possible, however, that they disembarked at Cape Town where they might have been offered work and a new contract.

GOLZ: Georg

GOLZ FAMILY: Husband: Georg (63) Wife: Widower Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: See below Place of birth: Groß-Gaglow (Prussia) Originated: Brandenburg Final settlement: Keiskamma Hoek Georg Golz was an elderly widower who presumably was dependent upon his family for protection. It is possible that Louise Losche was his daughter and that, when the Losche family came to British Kaffraria, they brought her father with them, paying for his voyage themselves.

GRIEBENOW: Daniel & Friedericke

GRIEBENOW FAMILY: Husband: Daniel (37) Wife: Friedericke (36) Occupation: Peasant farmers Children: Wilhelm (14), Carl (12), Johanna (8), Ferdinand (6), Wilhelmine (4), August (2) Place of birth: Dedelow (Prussia) Originated: Prussia Final settlement: Unknown There is no record of the Griebenow family disembarking at East London.

HANDREKE FAMILY: Passenger: Christian (17) Parents: Orphaned Occupation: Peasant farmer Children: None Place of birth: Werben (Prussia) Originated: Spreewald Final settlement: Marienthal Christian Handreke was probably related to the Mattick family.

JÄCKSTÄDT: Gustav & Albertine

JÄCKSTÄDT FAMILY: Husband: Gustav (27) Wife: Albertine (31) Occupation: Carpenter Children: None Place of birth: Prenzlau Originated: Unknown Final settlement: Unknown It is possible that Gustav Roloff was Albertine Jäckstädt's younger brother. He was presumably an orphan and therefore dependent upon his sister and her husband. He would have had to pay for his own passage to British Kaffraria but, once there, the Jäckstädt family would have been able to buy extra land as if he was indeed their child. There is no record of the Jäckstädt's disembarking at East London. It is possible, however, that they disembarked at Cape Town.
