• Magdalena (Rosina) Albig was also known as Rosina Johanna.
• She was born on 31 December 1835 in Kochendorf, Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
• She was the daughter of Johann Friedrich Christof Albig and Johanna (Rosina) Heiss.
• In August 1854 Frederick and Rosine Heiss and their two children Lorenz and Rosine applied to emigrate to Australia. Rosine (younger)'s date of birth was given as 31 Dec 1835. The dates of birth of the other three were not recorded. They were all noted as born in Koschendorf District of Neckarsuim.
  
• Magdalena (Rosina) Albig immigrated to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in January 1855. She came with her parents Frederick and Rosina and brother Lawrence. Frederick's record showed him as Friedrich Albrih, 45, travelling with Rosina aged 54 presumedly his wife, Rosina 19, and Lawrence 35. They came to Australia on the "Undine". However the Victorian Immigration records show another family, the Albich family had travelled on the "Undine" bound for Melbourne - this family consisted of a W Albich, 49, travelling with Rosine aged 47 presumedly his wife, Rosine 18, and Lorenz 27, presumedly their son.
  An article on German immigration "Auswanderer nach Australien" shows a family consisting of Christopher Albig (1790-1863), Roas born Heiss emigrated to Australia in 1854. Both died there. Their three children Lorenz, Andreas and Rosine travelled with them. While there is no record of Andreas in either the NSW or Victorian immigration records and the ages differ, Lorenz and Lawrence are likely the same person, so perhaps this is the same family.
  
• She moved to "Wyangarie" Station, Upper Richmond, in 1855.Herrfather and brother Lorenz were assigned to work at the station. It was here that her brother was killed when he fell from a horse in 1856.
  
• At the age of 21 years, 6 months and 12 days, Magdalena (Rosina) Albig married Louis H R Werner, son of Louis Henry Werner and Josephine Unknown, on 12 July 1857 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. The marriage was officiated by Timothy McCauley /McCarthy?, in the "Church of Rome". Witnesses to the marriage were X Abbig and Catherine Hedley. The name Albig was spelt ABBIG throughout the certificate. The place of birth of the bride and groom, parents name and occupation were all given as NOT KNOWN.
  
• In 1858 Magdalena (Rosina) Albig and Louis H R Werner lived in on the corner of Miles and Scott Street, Tenterfield, New South Wales.
  Louis and Rosina's daughter Rose (Rosina Bailey)'s obituary written in 1952, gives details of where the Werner family lived. "The Werner home was situated at the corner, near the intersection of Miles and Scott Street and occupied the site where later the Curren home was erected. Mrs Bailey was born in 1862 and was the third child in a family of eight. Two of this family still survives, namely Miss Louisa retired hospital matron, and George, both of Sydney."
  
• On 27 December 1861 the Werner home was struck by lightning, rendering a young man [perhaps John Bonhag, Rosina's nephew] unconscious, almost hitting a baby in a cradle [Francis Louis Albig Werner who would have been 16 months old], and causing considerable damage to the house.
  The Maitland Mercury reported the incident:- " SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS - This town was visited by a very severe thunderstorm on the night of Thursday and morning of Friday last. The storm commenced about five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and continued with great violence until nine o'clock, when an abatement of a few hours took place, the heavens being partially clear, and perfect quiet reigning all around. However, another storm came up from the west ward about three o'clock on Friday morning, which exceeded in violence the preceding one, and startled the inhabitants from their repose. Indeed, such a severe storm has not been experienced in this neighbourhood for a considerable period. The only damage to the township which we have learned occurred at the house of Mr. Louis Werner, which was struck by the electric fluid and sustained material injury. The chimney was the attracting medium, which was literally destroyed, and the lightening, passing down both sides of the fireplace, where the wood is reduced to splinters, tore up the earthen floor and raised a quantity of dust which almost smothered the inmates. It then found its way into another chamber where a young man slept, striking him so that he lay insensible for a considerable time. The electricity then seems to have scattered about the building in all direction, causing the greatest confusion, when it ultimately found a good conductor in a cross-cut saw which was suspended from one of the rafters. The rafter and a number of the shingles of the roof were thus destroyed, and then the work of destruction ceased.
  It may be deemed very providential than none of the inmates were fatally hurt, as three separate rooms were occupied by them. A young sleeping child in a cradle had a very narrow escape, as its head was within a foot of the cross-cut saw which conducted the electric fluid though the roof. Others took place on Friday afternoon and Sunday."
  
• Magdalena (Rosina) Albig died on 24 April 1905 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia, at age 69. The informant on her death certificate was her son, Richard (Herman). The certificate shows she was 69 years old, born in Kochentorf, Germany and 49 years in NSW. Her parents were listed as Frederick Albig, an engineer and Johanna Rosanne Heiss. She had been married in Tenterfield at the age of 22 to Louis Werner and had 8 living children, Hannah 47, Louis 46, Rose 43, Charles 41, Richard 37, Elizabeth 33, Louisa 31 and George 27. She had one deceased son (Frederick) and one deceased daughter (Catherine). Her cause of death was heart disease and she died from heart failure.
  Her death was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald on 10 July 1905 - WERNER-April 24, 1905, Rosina Johanna Werner, at Tenterfield.
