Herbert Harold Meizer Longreach Qld

Surnames: Meizer
Hello

I am looking for information on my great great grandfather Herbert Harold Meizer. His parents names were John and Catherine Meizer and he was born in Dandaloo, NSW. He married a Kathleen Carey in 1915 in Hamilton, NSW and was last recorded living with her in Falcon St, Longreach, QLD, in 1919. After this time Kathleen moved back to sydney with her two girls and never saw him again. I was wondering if someone could help me find his whereabouts after 1919. He was listed as a Shearer. I cant find a single thing nor can I find his death.

Hi,
If you search for him in Ancestry you will find Police Gazette notices in 1920 and 1929 of him deserting Kathleen and children.
States he was known as Bert.

I wonder if this marriage is connected?
Name: Albert H Meizer
Spouse: Alma M Davis
Marriage: 1933 - Balmain North, New South Wales

He had warrants out for his arrest so a quick name change is probable.

Hi,

There are a couple of NSW Police Gazette mentions for Herbert (Bert) Meizer a shearer in 1920 & 1929, I can give you details if you want them. Looks like he still had an association with Sydney in 1929.

Hi Gerry

Thankyou very much, I just had a look at the Gazettes. Very interesting. Were they the only thing that leads you to believe he still was in Sydney in 1929 or was there something else you came across? The family story was that he went back up to Longreach in Qld after he left Katherine.

THanks again

THankyou very much for you help. Name change is quite probable or if he did go backto Longreach in QLD it is quite remote. Albert H Meizer was Herberts brother.

THanks again

Hi Anna,

Yes the Police Gazette's were my only lead and the 1919 ER for Longreach. I have access to the 1922 ER for Qld and I can't see him on that roll.

His wife was residing at Surry Hills for many years and at some stage Olive Adelaide Davis was at the same address 6 Edegely St.

He may have taken off the Qld but not registered to vote or changed his name.

Next time I'm at the Qld Family History Society I'll see if I can find any more info.

Looking further into info re: the family of Christian and Catherine Meizer and have found info I would like to query. It is regarding Catherine's parents who we have always believed were called John Harris and Mary Ann Cotton. Catherine also had a sister Margaret who was about 7 or 8 years younger.
On family tree for 'Newitt, Luxford from Chatteris and Lewes to the Hunter, NSW', info from Alan Eade has parents Antonio Harris and Mary Ann McNamara. Can anyone give me for info regarding this?
John Harris was Maori and from New Zealand and Mary Ann Cotton was Irish. This info came from Catherine.

Hi scallywaggles,

Do you have the marriage certificate, for this couple? "Christian and Catherine Meizer "

That should list the names of her parents.
