George Adolph (Adolph) Engel was born on 15 July 1861. He married Emily Jane Zeininger in Seaham Church of England in 1883. Emily Jane was born on 5-Nov-1861 at Spurfield, near Seaham. Her father worked as a vine dresser for Henry Carmichael at Porphyry Point on the Williams River. Adolph operated a business from The Fens family home (est. 1888) before moving to Tea Gardens and building a shop and home on the waterfront. The couple raised eleven children, most of whom worked in the family business from a very early age. Adolph died in 1918 and Emily Jane in 1946.

Henry Engel was born on 23-Sep-1863. He married Mary May Tranter in 1887. May was born near Paterson on 1-May-1867. The family left the Engel property at The Fens to operate a dairy at Wauk Ivory near Gloucester, NSW.

After the dairy was destroyed by fire they returned to live in Tea Gardens where they built a house. Henry established a dairy herd on four acres adjacent to their home. He also raised pigs and operated a market garden, the produce of which he sold to the local population. Eventually he turned his hand to working as a shipwright and May helped her sister-in-law at the Homeville Guest House. Henry died in 1930 and May remained in the family home until she died in 1956. They were buried in Tea Gardens Cemetery.

George worked as a fisherman on the Myall waterways and the couple had five children. Unfortunately both the parents and children died at a relatively young age from massive heart failure. George and Agnes died suddenly at the age of 35 years (d. 1901, 1907) and their five children died at age 34, 26, 48, 40 and 46 years respectively. The same medical condition was present in the subsequent generation. (No photographs available).
