Maren Esbensen - is she Karen Esbensen's aunt ????

Surnames: ESBENSEN, Maren
NZ Archives have a reference to Maren ESBENSEN arriving in NZ on the "Fritz Reuter" on 7 August 1876. She was 24 years old at the time of her departure.
(Archives Ref:IMI15/264A)

If she is part of the same family (although more likely an aunt as we have located another sister and two brothers for Karen ESBENSEN,) she may be an older sister to Lauritz She was born 1852 and he was born 1855.

She is recorded on the transcribed copy of the "Fritz Reuter" list as coming from Bjolderup, south west of Aabenraa, Denmark.

She is listed as a "dienstmad" - a German word for servant??? So was she from N Schleswig too and did she and Lauritz leave during the time of border dsputes between Denmark and Germany???
