    The scenario could be a useful case study for a brickwall. I have attached 2 documents to help prepare a brickwall.

    Matthew John Loehr was born in Minneapolis on 20 November 1892 there may be a connection to a Henry Brown blacksmith of Bega born in Hessen- Darmsdadt  Germany in October 1845. Researchers in our family suspect Brown is an alias and his real name could be Loehr. 

    The attached page of the US 1940 Census lists one of Matthew's sons as Lawrence and the US Social Security Death Index 1935 - 2014  lists Lawrencw F Loehr SSN 472-05-3994 died on 13 Jan 1997 with Last residence Minneapolis 55430 Hennepin Minnesota and born on 4 Feb 1921 which agrees with the age recorded in the 1940 census. An intriguing link is that Henry B named is eldest son Lawrence Frederick and that some Brown family researchers believed Henry's real surname was Loehr.

    Family folklore has Henry arriving in Sydney in 1866 from America his Naturalisation Certificate names the ship "Albert". A ship of that name arrived on the 5th April 1866 but doesn't list Henry. The only German on the crew list is a Theodore Hammermann and his listed age appears to be 27.

    How can I get details of Matthew's parents ?
