The Kite Family 1948

[Sheila from Down Under]

Hello I have asked this question on an other site but no one can answer so I hope you can

Christopher John Kite born 1920 married Kathie Schuly in Dartford in 1947. On 11 Nov: 1948 she and her husband boarded the HM Morton Bay bound for Brisbane .On the passenger list it state Christopher J 28 Kathe 29 , and children Karen G age 7, Inge D age 9 & Christopher J 9 months.
So it would seem that Karen G & Inge D were not of this marriage. Can you please help find their mother.

Christopher J snr: & this wife Gertrude died in Australia they are the mother & father of Christopher J born 1920

According to the youngest son Christopher's birth record, her maiden name was Schulz, not Schuly:

Births Mar 1948
Kite Christopher J Schulz Dartford 5b 762

Anyway, they are on another passenger list, showing their arrival in Fremantle, Western Australia. The two elder children have the double-barrelled surname of Kite-Schulz, suggesting they were of this couple, but born out of wedlock:

They were both Christopher James - their immigration documents are on the National Archives of Australia website (including digital images):

http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=5048702&isAv=N

Kite, Christopher James - wife Kathe Elfriede Klara [nee Krinsch] and children Christopher James, Karen Gustave and Inge Dietgard - departed Southampton on SS Moreton Bay 11 November 1948 - arrived Brisbane 5 January 1949

According to this, Kathe's maiden name was Krinsch, & the elder children were from her previous marriage, presumably to a Mr Schulz. She was born in Germany.

The document has the full names, dates & places of birth for all 5 people. Very useful!
