Herman BARK was born about 1841,[1] in Sweden,[2] the son of Herman BARK.[3]
Herman arrived in Port Adelaide on board either the ship Hoskin in 1864[4] or the ship Oscar I in 1865[2].[5]
Herman married Emily HAMMOND on 6 March 1866 in Adelaide SA (at St John Church).[3] The couple had seven children.[6]
The couple likely lived in the Brown Hill Creek / Crafers area of the Adelaide Hills from the date of marriage, except in 1873 when they may have lived in the Virginia area.[7]
In September 1869, he was sworn in as a constable for the Crafers District Council.[8]
According to Emily's death registration, there is another male child who died before October 1909 (and likely in infancy). No other obvious registrations.
Research Notes
Original Swedish birthname is unclear.
Birth year: 1840 based on 60 years[4] at death, or 1842 based on 58 years[9][11] at death.
Sometimes named as "Hermann" or "Henry", but mostly "Herman".
On 6 December 1865, a cargo ship Oscar I did arrive in Port Adelaide, having departed Soderham (Söderhamn), Sweden, on 15 July 1865.[13]
Hoskin could be a misinterpretation by the family of Oscar.
Herman may have been employed on this ship and deserted.
