1919, Victoria, Australia

Carl Fredrich Henke, born Germany. It appears that Carl may have
been a divorced man, his first wife dying in 1945.

Only one Carl Fredrich Henke appears in the Victorian BDM Index
and he was married to, and having children by, Caroline Wilhelmina
Petering until 1918. This means that Louisa had 8 step-children, 2 of
Carl's children having died prior to the marriage.

These birth and death records are the only ones that are available for these children. What happened to them. Did their mother remarry and did some of them changed their name. We don't know.

As Louisa's father John used both the surname Payne (his mother's name) and Templar (his step-father's name) at various times, though it appears that Louisa only ever used Payne prior to her marriage.
