My GGF was August John Hoffman born on Helegoland in 1852
his parents were Henry Hoffman born circa 1820 and Louisa (Neanes or something like this it is hard to read) He married Hannah Jenkins Lewis in 1875 in Liverpool they had two sons born in Liverpool August John Owen Hoffman born 1875 and Henry David Hoffman born 1878 (I think Henry died in Liverpool)
August and wife Hannah and son August arrived in Victoria Australia in 1879, Hannah had 4 more children and died in 1889. August remarried in 1890 (Frances Corby) and had 3 more children before moving to Fremantle Western Australia
