It is difficult to understand the reason for his mother moving the family from Eaglehawk to Broken Hill. The towns do have mining as a common element but there is a world of difference between the two. Broken Hill at that time was a desolate and difficult place in which to live. It is possible that there were other members of the family who also moved to Broken Hill, but as yet no links have been uncovered. In modern times it is not difficult to understand people moving long distances but the challenges in those days must have been enormous.

Harry NIEMANN^{1057,1058,1059} was born on 13 December 1915 in Broken Hill NSW. He lived woodyard worker, miner, Mining Engineer in Broken Hill NSW between 1915 and 1958. As a young man he worked in his father's woodyard, not the best place for an asthmatic. However he was always very skilled with an axe! Eventually he joined the north Mine as a miner where he worked underground for several years. He began studying at about 27 years of age; a challenge for somebody who had left school at 14 years of age. Over the years he became a Surveyor, Geologist and finally an Engineer. It took him until he was 36 years old to achieve his qualifications. Between 1927 and 1968 he was a Mining engineer / Civil Engineer in Broken Hill NSW. Harry lived Engineer in Charge, Department of Main Roads in Wentworth NSW between 1959 and 1963. He was responsible for the supervision of the construction of the 'new' Wentworth to Broken Hill road (to about half way) and the sealing of that road. He was similarly involved in the construction of the Buronga NSW to Balranald NSW reconstruction and sealing.
He traversed the roads many times and his knowledge of Geology gave him an insight into the sources of both water and sand in otherwise clay covered country.
From time to time his family travelled with him while he was working but he never mentioned, but maybe he didn't know, that his relatives had lived in Balranald and around Pooncarie . This fact has only been uncovered since the two histories of the Nolan and Niemann families were written.
Similarly visits to Bendigo & Eaglehawk on family holidays were without reference to his familiy history. He held the qualification of Diploma in Metalliferous Mining Engineering He lived Supervising Engineer, Department of Main Roads NSW in Parkes NSW between 1964 and 1966. Harry lived Supervising Engineer (maintenance) Dept of Main Roads in Sydney NSW between 1966 and 1968. His work in Sydney was most interesting and included the maintenance of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which provided the opportunity for his sons to climb to the top (for free ! ). He also had involvement with the Captain Cook and Gladesville bridges and the Northern Expressway. He died on 22 April 1968 in Sydney NSW. A history of Asthma, which was largely untreated throughout his youth and growing years, smoking, Broken Hill dust and other occupational hazards led to his early demise. He largely ignored advice regarding his health and eventually his heart gave up the struggle. He was buried about 22 April 1968 in Sydney NSW - Macquarie Fields. Grave : Macquarie Fields North Ryde RC Grv 9 Row 47 Vaughan [Photo] Harry Niemann, had a passion for Geology and spent many hours wandering the hills around Broken Hill or anywhere he travelled. He could find water in an apparently dry creek beds, loved camping, fishing and restoring what was an old house. He regularly visited the town dump to collect broken concrete paving to create a 'crazy paving' patio alongside the house. Under the 'direction' of wife Molly he created doorways, windows, rooms and other various home comforts. The house at 634 Blende St., has been demolished but the old shed / workshop remained in 2005.
He was an asthmatic, smoker and non-drinker (until about 1960) and during the Broken Hill dust storms he struggled to breathe.
He was a strong disciplinarian but very rarely used the 'belt' when he was angry, and generally when used it was well deserved. Visions still exist of him sitting at the Kitchen table demanding the boys eat 'what was put in front of them ' and from time to time he's have the 'belt' around his neck ... he was serious. And sometimes the cooking wasn't great ! However, he cared greatly for his family and loved to pass on information, opinions etc. about life and the world in general. He was a good teacher, never getting frustrated but extremely persistent. One could never forget Pythagorus' Theorum, nor would he allow it not to be learned !
He learn many lessons from living during the 1930's economic depression and related that the family often ate rabbit, potaoes and onions day in and day out while living on the banks of the Murray at Merbein in a bag hut.
He had a passion about the value of Education, enjoyed family both immediate and extended. He was intolerant of immorality, dishonesty etc. his wrath was greatest when such principles were breached. He had high regard for and showed respect for immigrants, probably because he saw them as good honest workers.
Harry was a tolerable musician and loved to sing, play the mouth organ and struggle with the button accordian and from time to time the banjo. This love came to the fore around the camp fire on the Darling river where a family group would sit around singing mainly Irish songs. The old Irish song 'Danny Boy' is a warm reminder of Harry Niemann.

Family Arrival in Australia

NIEMANN Johann Heinrich, wife Tabita Mgtha, 5 ch (inc Fried August, Ernst August?) arrived 1846-10-28 on Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel from Bremen 1846-06-27 [4,6,7]

The above is strong confirmation of the Niemann's arrival. The parents, number of children, the time-line and the voyage origin. However, the note " (inc Fried August, Ernst August? ) [ not my question mark ] is a little concerning because none of their children were Fried ... Friedrich, is assumed, or Ernst August.

There is a story that they arrived on the 'Red Jacket' in Melbourne 1858. This gives rise to the story that Thomas Devine was on the same ship, fell in love with Lucy and married her 24 hours after they landed. This seems rather spurious but not to be totally dismissed as often these stories end up being more than a grain of truth.

The Niemann Family history book written by Jessie Cafiso provides a comprehensive setting for our Niemann's in Bendigo. [ There was at least one other Niemann family].

The historical text 'Bendigo the German Chapter' does however provide some additional insight into the German involvement. Indeed Germans were the third largest group on the Gold fields and it is suggested numbered as many as 20,000. It is also claimed there were 'six to eight thousand Diggers from South Australia' .P 14

'Sponsored migration with agents or sponsors operating out of Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide with counterparts in Bremen or Hamburg were customary' P 13

Trent Niemann's comments:
As I have moved around Australia following the path of my various families I have been both amazed and intrigued how the families bring history to life. As a current resident (2006) of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, the German history in that area is 'on every corner'. Until my recent visit to Bendigo I was not aware of the German connection between South Australia and Bendigo. Miners moved around the diggings in Kapunda S.A., Bendigo & Ballarat and even to New Zealand. Later as was the case for my family some moved from those fields to Broken Hill NSW and other mining centres.
'Most Germans, however , reaching the NSW & Victorian Goldfields from the 1850's onward were displaced rural workers or artisans and rarely affluent'. P 12 The German Chapter

The German contribution is not as strongly evident in present day Bendigo. However, it is there with a little 'digging below the surface'. There are parallels too. The wine industry was emerging in Bendigo until it was virtually wiped out by disease.
Our family, as far as I am able to ascertain did not come from 'Mining stock' but some were converted to it, which was true of my immediate family. A number of my family perished, directly or indirectly as a result of mining itself or the conditions that existed in mining centres. 'a major hazard then, as now was dust' [silicosis]
I have also been intrigued by the lack of German tradition and traits in my immediate family especially when compared to some of the German enclaves, such as the Barossa Valley. I taught in such an enclave in the SA mallee and my family 'tradition' had almost nothing in common with the families there.
When I discovered that my Great Grandfather married an Irish Catholic (Nolan) I was surprised because in other settlements the German groups married within the group. The book Bendigo the German Chapter, provided some enlightenment in this regard. 'Marriage outside of the community [German] does not appear to have been frowned upon or to have been the grounds for ostracism, though probably in the early years, marriage within the community or within an ethnic counterpart was to be preferred' P 139
Jessie Cafiso indicates that English became the first language of the Niemann family, and indeed the younger immigrants never learnt German. In Adelaide the children attended a Church of England Grammar school. It seems therefore the Niemann's took a conscious decision to adopt the predomionant culture of their new home. None of the family returned to Germany ... but then again none made their fortune from the diggings.
Only recently have I become aware that the Niemann's held mining leases. Once again 'The German Chapter' provides evidence of this;
Johann Heinrich Niemann 'owned Cinderella mine, Long Gully, for a number of years. The following records are also provided:(P 256)
Niemann Christian Typo Co. 16/9/1868 80 yards
Niemann Christian New Chance Co. 22/4/1869 320 yds 'Flyblow'

Niemann John A. Ironbark (Whites) 26/6/1871 1/2 Acre 'Ironbark'
Niemann John Allot 16 Sec 51c 1/9/1871 1/4 Acre Off Violet St.
There is no record or evidence that the Niemanns made any successful finds, nor whether Johann Diedrich Conrad, my Great Grandfather died as a result of working in his own or the mines of others. Apparently Silicosis was bad enough but when compounded by T.B. it was certain death.

It seems that as the family grew and subsequently branched little effort was made to maintain extended connections. As a child my family holidays included Bendigo, but I have no recollection of any meetings with extended family.

Thank you for you enquiry. I have looked up the Mariage Register for the date of this marriage and unfortuantely I am unable to tell you very little more. This is because New Zealand did not require the names of the parents to be included on the mariage entry until the 1880's.
The register does however show that both the parties signed their names, and that Harriet was a minor - i.e. under age. The officiating Minister was Henry Jacobs and Sarah Hobson of Christchurch and John B Hobson of Christchurch, Law Clerk were the witnesses.

If you wish to make contact with the Presbyterian archivists in Dunedin, type Presbyterian Archives+ New Zealand into Google and the contact infromation can be found from the web site which will turn up.
I hope this helps you in your research.
Yours sincerely

Johannn August "John" NIEMANN was born on 27 December 1836 in GERMANY - Bremen.¹⁰⁷⁵ He immigrated in 1846 to Adelaide SA. He was educated in 1846 in Adelaide - Church of England Grammar School. John relocated to in Bendigo Vic - / Eaglehawk in 1853, he was carrier between Melbourne and the Gold fields. The exact date of John moving to Bendigo is not known, the earliest record is 1864. However, the family moved about 1852, John would have been 16 at that time. It is almost certain he moved to Bendigo with the family.
He is listed as an adult at California Gully [ Electoral roll no. 1862 and Claimholder for Fortuna Co., 80 yds, Pringles [1865R]. House & Land Holder - owner in Langston St., Bendigo ... and other numerous holdings in buildings & land.
At some point prior to 1884 he was the Secretary of The Bendigo United Friendly Societies Medical Institute. According to Jessie Cafiso "A Niemann Family history" he originated the Medical Institute, the first of its kind in Australia.
A report in the Bendigo Advertiser 5/8/1869, indicates he was a miner at that time. "Yesterday, a man named Auguste Niemann whilst working in the Garden Gully Tribute Co's. claim, received a severe blow from a stone detached by a shot from a drive which knocked him down and bruised his leg & foot so severely that the assistance of Dr. H Boyd hyad to be sought. The accident was peculiar as showing the danger which mines are subject to notwithstanding ordinary precautions being taken. When the shot went off the men were standing, for safety well in a cross drive, some distance towards the shaft and the stone which inflicted the injury must have struck the side of the level, rebounding from there at a right angle into the drive." As all the Niemann boys were 'Johann', the use of second names was a most like method of distinguishing them. However, he was called John by the family.

My interest in john & Mary Niemann was sparked by becoming aware of two books. "The Spirit of the Daly" Peter Forrest & Life on the Daly river" Nancy Polishuk.
John Niemann and his second wife Mary must have been quite amazing people. He was born New Zealand, moved to Sandhurst ( Bendigo), studied in Melbourne and became a Chemist, married his first wife Alice Webster, who died in Warracknabeal Vic. He married Mary nee Nicolson in Sydney.

John & Mary headed for the Northern Territory and at great risk attempted to set up a meat extract business at Victoria River. Victoria River was completely isolated and they almost came to grief on the sea voyage there. Their short stay there wasn't any improvement upon the voyage ! That didn't last long before they moved to the Daly River. At that time it also required a sea & river journey.
Both of the books mentioned, illustrate that the 'Daly' is a littany of failure, floods, crocodiles, snakes and during the wet season almost total isolation. There were very few settlers in the area even after World War 2.
The Aboriginal people were their only company and provided most of the labour for the farms, the mines and any other endeavour. By 1899 they were apparently 'peaceful' people, one suspects because they never forgot the massacres that took place after some Aboriginals killed miners in 1884. They were subsequently hunted and it is estimated 150 men women & children were murdered.
The privations for John, Mary and the two girls would have been no less than for any other settler. However both books convey a sense of community which provided something quite special & necessary !
With some understanding, but no personal experience I am totally impressed by the fact that they seemed to have been undaunted by the risks and challenges. It is little wonder they are listed conspicuously amongst the pioneers.
Not satisfied with six years on the Daly, they moved to Pine Creek. Maybe not quite as isolated but nonetheless would have required considerable determination.
The Niemann's are a 'mobile lot' . Others in the family went to New Zealand, Fiji and while closer to home, still daunting, Broken Hill. And one died (suspected murdered) off the coast of Western Australia, having 'chased his fortune' in northern Western Australia.

It is necessary to read the books to gain a better understanding of John & Mary's adventures on the Daly.
The following is an extract from "The Spirit of the Daly"
In 1899 John and Mary Niemann came from Melbourne to the Daly River, to settle at the New Uniya site which the Jesuits had recently abandoned. John Niemann was a_chemist, and he was encouraged by swashbuckling pastoralist Captain Joe Bradshaw (of Bradshaw's Run, on the Fitzmaurice River) to come north to operate a meat extract plant. There was little market for Territory live cattle, and Bradshaw resolved that it might be more profitable to slaughter cattle and to produce meat extract from their carcasses. After an abortive investigation of the Victoria River locality it was decided that the best site for the works would be on the Daly, to whence Bradshaw could walk his cattle overland.
The Niemanns were to spend the next twenty years in the Territory - on the Daly, at Pine Creek, and in Darwin. On her return to Melbourne Mary Niemann wrote a series of articles which were published in the Melbourne Leader newspaper on May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, June 5, 12, 19, 26, July 3. 1920. Mary vividly recalled their arrival at the old mission, which Neimanns called 'Monea':

[A similar article is in the Niemann family book; especially the account of their brief exploit to Captain Bradshaw's cattle station.]

It is interesting, if not a little bizarre that John 'escaped' from mining to become a Chemist and yet was drawn back into mining when in the Northern Territory. He did return to his work as a Chemist when the family returned to Adelaide. Children were: Catherine Nicolson "Kit" NIEMANN (HENNESSY)-110.

Leslie "Les" NIEMANN^{1086,1087,1088} was born on 15 August 1917 in Broken Hill NSW. He was an Underground Storeman ( Retired ). He died Old Age on 19 November 2008 in Broken Hill NSW. Family & friends gathered for the funeral service of Uncle Les in Broken Hill. As most of his children, neices & nephews have all put their 60th birthdays behind them, apart from being a sad occasion it was also and opportunity to 'get together'.
Les was the last survivor of his generation of Ernest & Emma's children; it is sobering to know another generation has passed on.
It is hoped that through family history some tangible memories are recorded for posterity and available when the descendants are ready to ask questions about their forebears.
I'm sure many people could claim a special relationship with Uncle Les. I do not expect that I'd be unique.
I remember him as a person who had a clever wit, had time for everybody and seemed to care what was happening in their lives. He had a great love of family and enjoyed family gatherings. The bigger the better. He did not drink but as far as I know had no criticism for those who did. His cooking was legendary. But his understanding of motor mechanics wasn't ! He was quite a handyman and built at least one home which included the making of the bricks from cement.
It never seems much to sum up a life in a few sentences but it isn't really possible to pass on the essence of an individual or their relationship to each of us.
He was a good man . Les was buried after 19 November 2008 in Broken Hill - Cremated -. Les Niemann is a legendary 'bush cook'. Whenever the family camped on the river, especially at Easter, he made bread, hot cross buns, roast dinners in the camp ovens over the camp fire.
Boats weren't owned by the family, any fishing was done from the river bank, Uncle Les decided to build one from flat iron. I visited him regularly to watch it take shape. It was finally finished and the Easter camping trip at Bono station was all planned. When we arrived at the River Darling, Uncle Les couldn't wait to get the boat in the water. In the boat went, Uncle Les climbed in, reached around for the oar and over she went ! A very unstable craft. He scrounged some downpiping from Bono station, lashed it to the side of the boat and this partly addressed its tendency to overtuen. However, few would venture on her. Later he corrected the problem but the boat was always viewed with suspicion.
The roads around Broken Hill were never the best. Aunty Lilly complained about the rough roads and Uncle Les' driving, so he simply passed her the steering wheel as they travelled along.
After he retired he built a home at 'Sunset Strip' on the Menindee lake. He made all of the bricks by hand and constructed the home himself. When there was water in the lake (unlikely to be seen again .. it is said ) the home overlooked a wonderful expanse of water and it lapped at the lawn that stretched from the house to the water's edge.
I visited him a number of times and the last time before Aunty Lilly needed intensive medical treatment in Broken Hill he baked a pie and we joined them for lunch. The food we took was put aside. It wasn't like the camp oven events but still done with lots of skill.
At the time of writing (2005) Uncle Les is the last of my Father's family and I guess the last connection to my father and the last generation of our Niemann's. Uncle Les now lives in Broken Hill.

26/11/2008
Uncle Les passed away on 19/11/2008. Until a little while ago he was 'hale & hearty'; but at 92 years his body said 'enough'. The last of his generation of my father's family ( children of Ernest James Niemann & Emma Jane nee Dorman) has passed on; as he'd say 'that's life'.
