The 18 year old Ernst August married Caroline Ernestine Hanke in 1867. The second of their 11 children was Carl August, presumably named after Ernst's younger brother. This Carl August (1869-1953) married an Isabella McNeil and the couple had one child, John Milne Aumann, or Jack as everyone called him.
Jack married Dorothy Hill and they had three children. It was Jack and Dorothy who lived in the house on an orchard between Warrandyte Rd and Porter St in Templestowe, near Newmans Rd. It was demolished @1977. It was situated just off a little track that ran between Warrandyte Rd and Porter Street. L shaped gravel drive. the homestead had a bungalow attached to the main shed at the end of the drive, There were stables behind.
There was a second smaller residence closer to Warrandyte Rd as well.Dorothy lived there for many years after Jack died.
David Samuel Aumann. (Carl Samuel Aumann emigrated here in 1853, with his son Carl August, then aged about 18. Carl August married a Hanke girl and their firstborn was Carl August. Carl August married a Schuhkraft and their tenth child was David Samuel. So this Dave Aumann's grandfather emigrated from Germany as a teenager.
The Carl August who first emigrated here in 1853 (see above comment) had a younger brother Ernst August, who would have been about 15 y.o. at time of emigration. (He was my great grandfather, by the way.) He married the sister of the Hanke girl mentioned above and they had eleven children, the oldest of whom was August Heinrich, b 1867. August Heinrich married a Zerbe and they had seven children, the third of which was Oswald Henry. (Still with me??) Ossie, shock, horror, married a non-German girl and their third child was Len, b 1930. Len and Margaret had six children, the third of whom was Stephen Foster Aumann, b 1957. He married Jennifer Helen Davies. This must be the Jenny to whom you refer because she's the only one in the family history book, and the time frame is pretty right. Len Aumann, by the way, coached me when I played cricket for Templestowe in the late sixties/early seventies.
