Ipswich, Queensland, Australia [7, 8] |
- Married in the Office of the District Registrar, East Street, Ipswich.
Witnesses R. Wenck [Reimer Wenck] and Bertha Behm
The reason for marrying in the registry office and not a church was probably because of disagreement with the type of Lutheran Church locally. To be married or buried in church required membership of the congregation. Some of Otto's siblings also married at the registry office. Non-membership of a church congregation would be the same reason the Wenck burial plot was established on the Wenck farm.
