 I believe the photograph on the
right to be that of Gotfried and Christine (nee BONING) KRATZMANN.
My Kratzmann ancestors left
Germany for Australia on 7 October 1865. Gotfried and Christine KRATZMANN's
son, Johann
Friedrich KRATZMANN (also
known as Friedrich) sailed from Hamburg, Germany, on the 'Johann
Caesar' and after a voyage of nearly 4 months arrived in
Queensland, Australia on 6 February 1866.
He brought with him his wife,
Sophie (40), and children Carl (18), Wilhelm (14), Fredericke
(12), August (6), Herman (3), and Frederick (2).

On Johann Friedrich's death
certificate it mentioned his wife as being Dorothea Thoms and
not Henriette Sophie Thoms. His Last Will and Testament,
dated nearly four years before his death, also states his
wife as Dorothea. Henriette Sophie's death certificate shows
her husband as Johann Friedrich Kratzmann with her living
children being Wilhelm Friedrich (54), Friderike Wilhelmine
Albertine (52), Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm (43) and Ernst (39).
Deceased were two males.
I may have the incorrect Will
which is originally shown for Friedrich Kratzmann but with
the notation "The Friedrich Kratzmann mentioned and
described in the said Will and the Johann Friedrich Kratzmann
described in the said certified copy hereto annexed marked A
are one and the same person" I doubt that I have. Does
anyone have any ideas?
