I'm looking for a Christoph Wilhelm Krueger (Kruger) born Germany 1841 who I believe accompanied his brother Johann (John ) to NT and was for some time at Palm Creek goldfields. Is there a record of his death is NT? I'm not sure of what name he went by - Wilhelm, William, Bill, ,..or something else Thanks BK

Hello “bgk01”, No death showing for either of your KRU*GER men: checked KRUGER (and variants) 1824 to 2004 Northern Territory Deaths May be too recent for your fellow; there was a 1937 death GASCOYNE, WESTERN AUSTRALIA for a William Christopher KRUGER.

Re: KRUEGER Re: Death Index?
Thanks for the lookup - Johann (ie John) died in SA, but I'm at a complete loss to find the older brother. I chased down the William Christopher KRUGER you located but he is a different family.

Re: KRUEGER Re: Death Index?
Hi, What approx. ages or parents names do you have for these men? There are quite a few possibles but not worth posting all of them.

Re: KRUEGER Re: Death Index?
Thanks Kellie - I have found John ./ Johann in SA records. He died in Penwortham (SA) 1898 some time after prospecting for gold in the NT. Christoph Wilhelm Krueger/kruger who was the older brother was born 1841 in Posen - this guy is quite elusive. There was a WC Krueger who died in Roebourne in WA but the ages do not correspond and I tracked back to his naturalization record but doesn't correspond either.
