Surnames: Koch Hermann
Looking for some information or leads to follow on Anton (?-5 Jan 1963) and Rosina Koch (nee Hermann) (20 Oct 1879-5 Jan 1962).

They lived on Abbotsford Rd Bowen Hills at some stage and had 5 children

Joseph, Anthony (1914-1930), Bertha, Maria and Rosa.

Rosina and Anthony are buried together at Nudgee Cemetary together and not far away is Anton.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey thanks for your reply,

Looking for any information actually as apart from names, that is all I have. Marriages/Births/Deaths just to fill in the blank spots in that part of the family tree.

Queensland birth marriage and death indexes are online and you can work out exact dates using the search boxes provided by gradually narrowing down your 'to' and 'from' dates.

https://www.qld.gov.au/law/births-deaths-marriages-and-divor...

That page also has an "Information you can access" link which details the records that are closed to the general public

Queensland electoral rolls are available on Ancestry.

The marriage certificate for Anton and Rosina can be purchased from the UK GRO online and it will give the names of both their fathers and their occupations. You can then check this against the information on their death registrations to ensure it is correct.

It doesn't look like any of the children who arrived with them were born in the UK so were probably born in Switzerland.

Anton's Australian naturalisation record is digitised at the National Archives:

Bertha's marriage announcement in 1941

I think that the child listed as 'Joseph' on the immigration record was not a boy. Anton says that in 1915 he had four girls and one boy (son Anton born 1914 in Qld) and Bertha's marriage announcement says she is the fourth daughter.

Thank you very much for all of this information. I know Antony and Rosina were married in London approx 1900. Rosina was my grandfather's Aunty. I can now try and follow up on this information.
