Early Hedwigs

These are the earliest records we have of the Hedwig family.

Catherine Helene Hedwig Hampe was born in Australia in 1875; her father was a Lutheran minister. In 1905 she married Horace Edward Williams, the manager of a sheep station in Queensland, and they had five children, three of whom survived childhood: Horace Douglas, born in 1906, Charles Rowland, born in 1909, and Sheila. A son between Doug and Charlie died at birth; a son between Charlie and Sheila died of diphtheria aged 4. Her husband Horace passed away in May 1943, just days after the shattering news reached her that their son Charlie was missing after the Dams raid. Correspondence from her that survives in the Australian archives, related to Charlie's death, suggests she was a determined, strong-willed woman.
