Evidence of residence is limited before 1848. The death of Johann's daughter in February 1847 has them living in Gilbert Street, South Adelaide, and the Kermode Street, North Adelaide, property where Johann lived until his death in 1901, was purchased on the 20th of October 1848, though it appears that Johann had been making payments on it before May 1848. The lack of Citizen Rolls before 1852 and complete Assessment Books before 1850 mean that there can be no detailed list of residences. The likely residences are: | |||
* October 1846 - Feb 1848 - Gilbert Street, South Adelaide | |||
* March 1848 - 1852 - Union Street, North Adelaide (Acre 710, near the corner of Kermode Street) | |||
* 1852 - 1901 - Kermode Street, North Adelaide (Acre 724 - today 152-154 Kermode Street) | |||
