Johann Bohlmann was born Johann Büssenschütt, the illegitimate son of Gesche Büssenschütt and Georg Friedrich Bohlmann, on 1 Mar 1812 in the village of Thedinghausen. At the time Thedinghausen was in the area under the control of Napoleon's Kingdom of Westphalia, but by 1813 it had reverted to the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, before the Prinicipality was raised to the Duchy of Brunswick in 1815. These types of complexities continued to mark Bohlmann's life story before his migration to Australia. | Johann Bohlmann was born Johann Büssenschütt, the illegitimate son of Gesche Büssenschütt and Georg Friedrich Bohlmann, on 1 Mar 1812 in the village of Thedinghausen.

By 1815, Johann and his mother moved to Bremen, where Gesche married the elderly widower Albert Wohlers. One child, son Heinrich in 1816, was born to the marriage, giving Johann his first half-brother. In his early teens, Johann was apprenticed as a Blechenschlager [''tin metal worker''] and by the time of his marriage at age 30 to Anna Louse Hartmann in 1841, he was listed as a Blechenschlageramtsmeister, or official with the guild. Johann's guild and apprentice records have not yet been identified, but a normal timeline would be for the apprenticeship to begin at age 15 for 7 years, followed by 3-4 years of journeying before a tradesperson would be considered for admission as a master to the guild. By the time of his marriage, Albert Wohlers had died (1829), Gesche had remarried (1830 to Franz Heinrich Carl Kohlwes) and her third child and son had been born (1833 Carl Kohlwes). | |||
Johann and Anna had two children during their life in Bremen, living on the Papenstrasse. Franz Carl was born in 1842 but died at the age of one, and Anna Louisa was born in 1844.[[File:B-3130.jpg|left|thumb|Johann Bohlmann's House, Kermode Street [SLSA B-3130]|alt=Johann Bohlmann's House, Kermode Street]] | Johann and Anna had two children during their life in Bremen, living on the Papenstrasse.

Johann worked as a tinsmith in his own business until mid 1860 when he joined the SA railways Construction Department at the yards between the River Torrens and North Terrace. Apart from a short break in 1864, Johann, or John as he was generally known by this time, was employed by the railways until 1888, when he retired aged 76. He lived the rest of his life comfortably at his Kermode residence, dying in 1901 at the age of 91. | Johann worked as a tinsmith in his own business until mid 1860 when he joined the SA railways Construction Department at the yards between the River Torrens and North Terrace.
