my great great grandfather woater steinfoord came to Australia in 1854 . I can find no records of him at all , have been told he was born 1836 in a place called wenschalen, Netherlands. if someone knows the surname and is able to fill a big gap in my family history I would be very grateful. cheers christine

I searched for names and a place sounding phonetically like Woater Steinfoord and Wenschalen in the time frame 1830 - 1840 and came up with the following:

Wouter Stemfoort, born Winschoten friday 30 Aug 1833
Son of Dirk Stemfoort, bailiff, and Lummina Homan

Siblings:
Christof
Lumbertus
Hendrik
Wulf
Geertruida

Did Woater have any children named after any of his parents or siblings? Oftentimes this is the case.... The names could be "Anglicized"

Kind regards,
Marianne

First of all, here is his birth registration:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15700-53557-70?cc... left hand page.

He was born at 07:00 hrs on friday 30 Aug 1833, "in a house numbered 351".
The registration was done by the midwife Frouwke Adams Schoof.

I will search for more info on his siblings and (grand)parents and put all info in an easy to read document.

Kind regards,
Marianne
