Descendants of Friedrich (Frederick) ADRIAN

Notes

2. Augusta ADRIAN

A woman named SCHEFFLER residing at Norsewood lost her husband recently. She has been left with six children, the eldest being 8 years of age. The woman is allowed 10 shillings a week by the Waipawa County. Just now, indeed, Mrs SCHEFFLER cannot add to this slender pittance by her own labor, as she expects again to become a mother. (?1882)

15. Arnold Jacob † SCHEFFLER

Augusta SCHEFFLER was expecting a baby when her husband died in late 1882.

Herman Edwin VON DE FINSCH (FINSCH)

Married.

Karl Frithjof (“Charlie”) MORTENSEN (MORTON)

One of first settlers at Norsewood, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.

Some time between 1880 and 1890 Karl Frithjoff MORTENSEN and his wife Julia had bought two pieces of land from the SKOTTE family.

It is said, here in New Zealand, by family that Karl abandoned his family and moved to Australia, none of the family have been able to trace him or find where he died. After leaving his wife he was never heard of again in New Zealand.

Some records (eg, at FamilySearch.org) claim that Karl died at Norsewood, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. This is INCORRECT. He abandoned his family and moved overseas.

It is possible he went to Australia on the "S.S. Talune" and changed his name to Frithjof MORTON. He had another family there.
