Biography
Likely biological mother of Anna Matilda Muecke. A family copy of the 1859 Gawler/Barossa marriage record names Ernestina/Ernestine Schulze, daughter of Christian Schulze, marrying Gottfried Muecke on 17 March 1859. Her later life is unresolved: family notes say no death certificate has been found and suggest she may have parted from Gottfried or died before the 1868 Walla Walla trek.
