Family history is that Johann Georg Streitberger emigrated with his cousin Johan George Martin Goller. I didn't find any record of a Goller that suited being born 1840, on the Public Record Office Victoria's immigration records.
Further information from his descendants has JGM Goller as being born in 1840. If so Goller would have been only 14 years old in 1854 when Graeme Goller says he arrived in Australia. There is contradictory evidence of where JGM Goller was born.
Graeme Goller on his website https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/g/o/l/Graeme-Bruce-Goller/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0013.html says that JGM Goller arrived in 1854. It could be that JGM Goller arrived 1860 onwards and not initially in Victoria or that for some reason his details were not recorded. The South Australia records are here (if anyone wants to search https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/finding-information/discover-our-collection/migration-and-crew/passenger-lists-1845-1940. I looked in the SA 1854 lists and couldn't find Goller.
Graeme Goller in his website has JGM Goller birth details as:
Johan.Georg.Martin Goller (son of Frederick Goller and Maria.Barbara Streitberger) was born 7 March 1840 in Northold Middlesex U.K.
Was JGM Goller already a British citizen and fluent English speaker on arrival in Australia? Also why would he travel with cousin who arrived from Hamburg?
A TROVE search for:
- "John George Martin Goller" has finds that confirm employment as a saddler and location in and around Ballarat.
- 9/11/1859 "John Goller" has a find Dray Offences.-L.C. Holmes, Joseph Staples, and a John Goller were charged with being away from their horses and drays. Staples was discharged, and the other two fined 10s each.(The Star - Ballarat). Note there is a John Joseph Goller in Ballarat around this time also.
