Johanna Charlotte Clementine Held : Slektstre av Steve CURTIS (stevbali)

Johanna Charlotte Clementine Held

She was born in 1807 in Lowen Brieg. Her parentage is unknown. Now known as Opolskie, Poland

She was married on 14 April 1826 to Friedrich Theodor August Gogler. She was aged 19. He was aged 46. There is no explanation or understanding why he married so late or if it was a second marriage.

There first child Heinrich Friedrich Benno Feodor Gogler was born in 1828. A sister was also born Constanze around 1830.

Friedrich died in 1830. It is not known what caused his death but with two small children life would have been hard for Charlotte. In 1838 she married again to Joseph Seppelt a snuff and liquer maker in Wustewaltersdorf. In Lutheran Archive records it is stated that she was divorced of Friedrich Gogler which is also confusing.

She went on to have 7 children with Joseph Seppelt several were born and died in Silesia three survived and travelled to Australia on the Emmy arriving in 1850. She was pregnant with their last child on the journey he was the first Seppelt born in Australia and died shortly afterwards.

She died at Seppeltsfield in 1868 and was interred in the Seppelt grave at the Greenock Cemetery. She is also memorialised on the Gogler grave in the same cemetery

Sydney Shipping Gazette 29th December 1849

Arrived at Melbourne.— December 19th, Emmy, ship, 554 tons, Meyer, from Hamburgh 11th September. Passengers:— Messrs. Mackenthum ; P.R. Bookey ; H. Andressen ; — Lemeke : Miss Pauline Gavin ; J.O. Stiasney, surgeon, and 369 in the intermediate and steerage. The Emmy, from Hamburgh, brings only cargo for Adelaide. We have seldom seen a larger or more respectable class of passengers arriving at this port — they are mostly all mechanics, and we believe about half of them will land here and the rest go to Adelaide. 7 male and 5 female adults, and 16 children, died during the passage, and two births occurred on board.— Melbourne Daily News

see http://www.geocities.com/mppraetorius/main-com1.htm ...The Hamburg ship Emmy was built at Stockholm in 1847 ... J. H. O. Meyer, master, arrived Port Adelaide 16 January 1850, from Hamburg 5 September 1849, via Melbourne 4 January, with sundries ; 400 passengers, including 145 for Adelaide; 30 died of dysentery, etc., on the voyage to Melbourne, the vessel appearing to be in good order but overcrowded. .... The Emmy was lost in December 1850 in the Cape Verde Islands.

note.— for the Held and Seppelt entries. The BISA has an entry indicating the Seppelt family to be aboard the Emmy, but there is no such entry on the only record, The South Australia Register. There is however, an entry for "C. Held." Ja Charlotte Clementine (Held) was the wife of J. Ernst. There is no official record or newspaper account of this family arriving, other than the information on the Seppelt website http://www.seppelt.com.au/library/Seppelt_HistoryDetail_FA.pdf .... Four hundred and eleven boarded the vessel in Silesia Poland, only three hundred and sixty disembarked in Adelaide.... from this information and information from the State Library South Australia (SLSA), no German ship sailed for Adelaide with such a great number of emigrants. Information above however would support this number with a stop in Melbourne and the great number of death at sea.
