Hi,
Olivia Laura Kempf born 1871 Frederiksberg, Denmark to:
Johannes Carl Kempf and Olavia Florentine Marsden.
Emigrated from Denmark in 1875 with her mother and sisters.
I am interested in Olivia's life in Australia.
As far as I can tell she was married twice (Sydney NSW) - Cyril G Fortescue m,1897, and John Archibald m. 1908. One child, a daughter Helga Muriel Fortescue b. 1901. (My GGrandmother)
On TROVE, in searching for Olivia Kempf - I come across a singer actress particularly in the year 1895.
I would desperately (!) like to somehow find out if this is my Olivia Kempf.
I know that there were other cousins Olivia (via the Cobar families).
Any help would be appreciated :)
