Maybe you should contact the Schubert family in NSW, work backwards to see if you can put that "rumor" to rest. Looks like the evidence I can find points that the rumor of him being Schubert are true He disappeared, nobody knows what happened to Schubert, his sister is Christina... .At least you'd know one way or another. Maybe he was hiding something? I am sure it would be a relief to find out either way. I have plenty of surprises I have found out looking for information on long lost relatives.
Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922 Name: Christina Schubert Birth Date: 1888 Father's Name: Joseph Schubert Mother's name: Lucy Birth Place: New South Wales Registration Year: 1888 Registration Place: Taree, New South Wales Registration Number: 24239
This information was found on a Family Tree posted on Ancestry.com and seems to be the evidence that is used to show that James H Schubert and Edward DeLeiuen are one and the same person.
"Source: email - Jenny Bolton (nee Jennifer Fancis Cluse) Date: July 6 2009 Citation text: Information supplied by William Bitossi (descendent) and supported by a 'railway worker's card" obtained by the family - card registered as James H Schubert (known as Edward DeLeiuen) The De Lieuen information has been obtained by William Bitossi from Robyn Bray's Family History Website. Contact robynbray@ozemail.com.au"
Ive also noticed that a lot of the family histories in regards to the Schubert family, leave James H Schubert out of them... maybe because he abandoned the family? Or another reason:
Not all of them tho. One Family Tree on Ancestry.com has the family of Joseph Schubert b 1854 NSW and his wife Lucy Clayton Hadley b 1859 NSW and their 14 children including James Hadley Schubert. Oldest Joseph born in 1878 and youngest Lennox Garfield Roy born in 1904. James Hadley is a middle child born in 1892. His father Joseph Schubert was born in 1854 in NSW and the partriach of the family was
Franz Wilhelm SCHUBERT Birth 14 June 1825 in Epfenbach,Heidelberg, Lower Baden, Germany Death 21 Sept 1886 in Pampoolah, New South Wales, Australia
Who arrived in 1853
Name: Wilhelm Schubar Birth Year: abt 1826 Age: 27 Arrival Date: 3 May 1853 Vessel Name: Triton Origin Location: St Slgen, Barrka
And to add to that theory..there has never been a death certificate for James Hadley Shubert..and yes he was born in Australia...looks like it could be down to dna...it w ould be nice to know our correct heritage..
