Born 18 March 1836, son of Johann Heinrich WEHR, day labourer, and his wife Margarethe Wilhelmine nee SOLLMANN. Born Osnabruck, baptised 23 March 1836 by Pastor Bischoff,(church unkown).I am seeking any information on his ancestors or how I can find more information. JL WEHR immigrated to Australia 1855.

I found this in the Niedersachsen emigrants lists:

1. Wehr, Johann Ludwig
2. 18.03.1836, Osnabrück
3. Kellner
4. Eltern (+ vor mehreren Jahren)
5. keine
6. ?
7. Australien
8. 17.04.1855
9. ?
10. Die Eltern haben 7 Kinder, darunter zwei minder=
jährige. Der älteste Bruder Ernst Wilhelm ist 1846
nach Australien ausgewandert. Er hat vor 4 Jahren
seinen Bruder Johann Heinrich nachkommen lassen und
jetzt Johann Ludwig das Reisegeld geschickt

Meaning: Johann Ludwig Wehr, born 18.03.1836 in Osnabrück. At the time of his emigration, his profession was waiter. His parents were already dead (and had died several years ago). He went to Australia on 17.04.1855. And the interesting remark:
The parents have 7 children, 2 of them are minor. The eldest brother Ernst Wilhelm emigrated in 1846 to Australia. 4 years ago he sent for his brother Johann Heinrich and now he also sent his brother Johann Ludwig the money for the travel expenses.
You can also find entries for the elder brothers here:

You should perhaps contact the local church registers to find more about their parents... As they were from Osnabrück they might have been catholic ????

Hi,
once again thanks for the information,
