Help! Researching my RATH family

[tgwilkinson]

Guten tag!

I'm researching my RATH family who immigrated to South Australia.

My 3 x great grandparents: George "Ludwig" Christian RATH (born about 1800) and Carolina Wilhemena WEISENBORN (born about 1812) immigrated via Bremen to South Australia on the ship President Smidt in 1848. I'm trying to find their exact birth dates and locations and wedding. I've done tons of research and the only clue is their son, Henry Hermann RATH's Australian naturalization record. It states he was born in "Hannover, in the province of Hannover". So I'm guessing they are from the city of Hannover (or at least lived there).

Can anyone find their marriage records? Or maybe birth record?

They also had the following children;

• Louis Heinrich Albert RATH - born 1840
• Heinrich Hermann RATH - born 1842 in Hannover city
• Elwine Louisa RATH - born 1844
• Wilhelm Phillip RATH - born 1848 onboard the President Smidt! My 2 x great grandfather
