Dear Readers

The following information has come to light from another mutual descendant of the Amor/Wheelers - emigrants from Wiltshire England. While some of the information following is not correct*, it is interesting to read more on our ancestors' lives.

*"...many of their children did not survive infancy..." - INCORRECT
*"...only surviving daughter, Ellen..." - INCORRECT
*and other such errors and inconsistences. NB Please see my journals for accuracy on bdms. NB Also, their last child not listed here, namely Henry AMOR was born in 1876 at "Top Creek", Echuca, Bendigo, Rochester, Victoria and he was my grandmother's father.

~~~~~

William & Ann had 11 childern , who came to Australia when they were newly married, on the 'Beejapore' from Yorkshire. The 'Beejapore' arrived Botany Bay NSW 14th March 1857. The journey usually took about 9 months from England.

William Amor was born in 1837 at Brouham, Wiltshire England. In 1857, after several months at sea, William and his wife Anne Priscilla (nee Wheeler) came to Australia in search of a new life, settling in Victoria.

Their first daughter Elizabeth Jane was born in 1858 at Sawpit Gully. William quickly found work on the Mount Mercer cattle station, before heading to the gold fields at Carngham. George Amor was born at Whim Holes in 1959 but died in 1860. Ellen was born in 1861.

Having little or no success, William returned to his trade as a butcher, working at Mount Misery for three years. With gold fever still running through his veins, he returned to the gold fields at Whim Holes Diggings (Hard Hills), for a further two years. After this he returned once more to butchering and storekeeping at Paddy's Gully near Rokewood.

It was here at Rokewood that four more of the Amor children were born: William 1863, Anne 1865, Fredrick James 188 and Rebecca 1869. From there William changed direction to carrying on the roads and continued mining at Break O'Day and the other areas throughout the gold fields. Both Martha 1871 and George 1873 were born at Ondit.

As William and his family moved north east, he selected 174 acres at Top Creek near Rochester which he continued to farm for eight years. William and Anne's last child, Robert, was born in 1874 at Rochester. Many of their children did not survive infancy*.

William selected 146 Acres of land in the Parish of Kotupna where he continued to farm with his family. Over the years he purchased quite a large area of land and ran a successful vineyard on one of the allotments.

He and his family were prominent in the affairs of their district, William being a very active member of the Kotupna Railway league, attempting to obtain a railway running through the district. He was also one of the residents who worked to obtain the establishment of a creamery at Kotupna and also had an interest in affairs in Nathalia, with the Argicultural Society and the Independent Order of Oddfellows.

The boys were keen sportsmen competing in athletic sports, cricket and football with the Kotupna and Akiti Creek teams. Sadly, Robert died at the age of twenty-seven on the 17th August 1902 and was interred in the Nathalia Cemetary.

Their son William Jnr. married Louisa Ann Pridmore in 1883. Louisa has been norn at Daylesford twenty years earlier, the daughter of Rueben and Anne (nee Hunt) Pridmore, before her family also moved to Kotupna. William and Louisa had several children, Fredrick was born at Echuca in 1885 but only survived for fourteen days. Both Annie Louisa 1886 and Ethel May 1887 were born at Barwo.

William and Anne's only surviving daughter*, Ellen, married John Mitchell in 1881 and lived in the Barwo area with their children, Ellen, William Robert 1884 and John Francis 1886 all attending Barwo West School.

Anne Amor died on 20th September 1906, aged seventy-one years and her husband, William, died at the age of seventy-six, on the 4th December, 1913. Both are buried in the Nathalia Cemetary. The Amor name no longer remains in the Nathalia or Kotupna area today.

William KRAUSS born 1834 Schmalkalder, Germany, Occupation: Farmer, emigrated sometime to Australia, died 12 Sep 1898 Lambs Valley, Glen Innes NSW Australia. He first married in 1856 Margaret (or Margaretta) Elizabeth KNAUFF born 1833 Schmalkalder, Germany died 1879 Wellingrove NSW Australia, the daughter of John KNAUFF and Anne Elizabeth SHARPE.

This family has indeed been very difficult to research, but I have found the following children (possibly there were more):-

1.George Arthur KRAUSS born 1859 died 1912 married 1882 Glen Innes NSW to Elizabeth E. HOBBS. This couple had one known child; Hannah Elizabeth KRAUSS born 30 Dec 1889 Glen Innes and she married 1909 Glen Innes NSW Francis ADAMS.

4.Ranehart` KRAUSS born 1869 Wellingrove NSW died 1939 Inverell NSW married 1898 Inverell NSW Lina* (Lena) BRAZIER who was born abt 1884 died 1964 Inverell. Note*: Lina was the daughter of William BRAZIER and Mary (Marie) Broser MOIST. More about this family appears in my journals on the MOST family from Germany (my ancestors). Note`: Ranehart KRAUSS' first name appears recorded as Rined, Rinard, Reynard, Reinhardt, and even Rinchart!
Ranehart & Lina KRAUSS had I think 6 children;

(i) Alice M. KRAUSS born 1898 Inverell NSW
married 1921 Emmaville NSW Albert G. LEWIS 1891-1961 son of David William B. LEWIS and Sarah Louisa BATESON;
(ii) Ethel Elizabeth KRAUSS born 1900 Inverell NSW

(vi) Living male KRAUSS married living female MARCHANT.

5.Elizabeth Margaret KRAUSS born 22 Apr 1872 Wellingrove NSW died 1891 Inverell NSW.

6.Augusta KRAUSS born 19 Jan 1876 Wellingrove, died 1876 Wellingrove NSW.

After William KRAUSS' first wife Margaret Elizabeth KNAUFF passed away in 1879 he married again in Grafton NSW on 22 Sep 1881 to Elizbeth PAULUS born 3 Nov 1839 Viermunden, Hessen, Prussia died 5 Mar 1917 Glen Innes NSW. She was the daughter of Konrad PAULUS 1805-1869 of Viermunden and Anna Katharina MUELLER 1809-1881 of Frankenberg, Hessen.

This couple had two children:-

1.Henry Ernest KRAUSS 1882-1883 Glen Innes NSW
2.Alice May KRAUSS born 28 Aug 1887 Glen Innes died 22 Apr 1925 Glen Innes. Alice married 1 Nov 1906 Glen Innes to Edward Herbert RUSHBOURNE (Rusbourne) and had a large family of 10 children (have all their names). Spousal surnames of children: AUSTIN, CAVE, ARCHER, COLLYER, SUTTON, NEWSOME, MERTON, TOFT, BRINDLEY and BRADFORD.

NB The KRAUS surname is prevalent in the State of Queensland between 1829 and 1914. It's possible that there are familial connections with the surname changed slightly.

Alfred MANTON married 1900 Brewarrina NSW Australia (Reg.No.3426/1900) Priscilla A. FITZSIMMONS born 1884 Gunnedah NSW Australia, daughter of John FITZSIMMONS and Elizabeth Jane unknown.

3.Ernest Alfred MANTON born 8 Apr 1904 Walgett NSW died 27 Apr 1989 Inverell NSW, married 29 Apr 1946 Inverell NSW Coral Jessavine VOSS born 30 May 1921 Ashford NSW, died 26 Apr 1965 Inverell.

4.Bessie A.P. MANTON born 1906 Walgett NSW
married 1925 Inverell NSW Clarence A. HALL born 1906 Newcastle NSW, son of James HALL and Martha E. WELLS.

6.Stanley J. MANTON born after 1907 died 1920 Inverell NSW Australia.

7.Allan F. MANTON born after 1907 died 1921 Inverrell NSW Australia.

8.Henry C. MANTON born after 1907 died 1921 Inverell NSW Australia.

Dear Readers, I'm trying to see if there are any connections with the MERRY family of Ashford / Inverell NSW. A distant relative of mine believes that my 3g grandmother Henrietta (I still don't know her maiden name, could be SCHIA / BRAGIER / BRAZIER / BROSER / BROSELLE) who married my 3g grandfather Henry MOST may have married a HAUPT. Although I can find no record.
