Hi everyone,

I'm new to the list and trying to solve, yet another mystery. So far I
have:

Louisa Helena Ellen GIESE married John Leslie Lundbeck LANG in
Geraldton, WA, Australia in 1899.

They had 5 children:

Leslie Albert Lundeck b.1901
Cecil James b.1903
Sydney Edwin b.1907
(can't read first name) John b.1909
David Charlie Lundbeck b.1911.

Family folklore states Louisa LANG left her husband, John, and with the
5 children headed for Melbourne. John LANG was never heard of again.

On Louisa LANG's death certificate in 1956 in Vic, it states her maiden
name is GAZE not GIESE. Louisa's parents were: Henry GAZE & May
HENNESSY. Louisa was apparently born in 1876 in New Zealand, I have no
idea where.

If anyone can add to this, I would love to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Sherrie Blackman.
Sydney, Australia.
