According to her death record, Amelia Wicke was born in Denkershausen of Hannover, Germany. Denkershausen and Lagershausen are neighbouring villages.
Amelia's 1901 Census return claims that she immigrated to Canada in 1847. Gottlieb and Amelia were married on January 21st of that year. So she must have immigrated in 1846 when her parents and siblings arrived.
