Anton Wick was my great great great grandfather I believe. His father was Christopher Wick, but that is all i know about him except that his wife was Margaret Lathwell. I am assuming Christopher Wick was born and died in Germany. But I don't know for sure.

Anton Wick
Born: 1826
Jrohartoghom, [county], Hessen, Germany
Died: 1893
Beechworth, Victoria, Australia

There is a very famous bushranger in Australia called 'Ned Kelly' and Ned Kelly was apart of a gang called 'The Kelly Gang' back in the 1800's in Beechworth, Victoria. Anyway, Anton Wick was walking in the town and was taken hostage in a way by this Gang as they forced him to knock on the door of a known policeman and when he opened the door, they shot the policeman dead. Anyway, this connects him to a famous Kelly Gang story, a popular interest for Australians.

Anton and his wife Sarah Kate Heur (German) gave birth to several children including my great great grandfather, William Wick and then his son is Ronald George Wicks who is my great grandfather and then his son is William Wicks who is my grandfather.
The name changed from 'Wick' to 'Wicks' sometime around Federation (well a fter 1900) in Australia. Don't know why.

If anybody has any more ideas about this family line, please let me know.
