I think we need a little more information in order to help you.

1. Are you sure that Mary Ann is her birth name - not Marie Anne - the Danish way?

2. Do you have a birth date - evt. from dead certificate?

3. Is she married in Denmark?

4. What do you mean with "(signal)"?

Nielson (or Nelson) is not a common Danish name but Niels is.

Rasmussen is a common family name.

Hi there,
I have very limited information on Mary Ann Reimath
She is buried here in New Zealand, and we have been able to find who her parents were, but beyond that, any records must be in Denmark as we are unable to locate any further information beyond her parents, or how she got to NZ.

She was born in Denmark in 1841

We believe she had her first marriage which must be where the Nielson name comes in.

Her second marriage was to my great grandfather Robert Signal 5th October 1875 in Wanganui, New Zealand.

Her third and final marriage was to Rasmus Rasmussen 29th June 1889 in Stratford, New Zealand.


She died September 26 1925 and is buried as Mary Ann Rasmussen in Patea, South Taranaki, New Zealand.

It is extremely likely that there is a varient to her birth name, and a possible english/NZ translation making this all the more difficult.
I've located all the information I can on the NZ family tree pages nd s with everyone else have come to a complete stop when we come to her parents or how she came to be in NZ.

I am terrible at googling information as I find all the varying information very confusing.
Was there any particular reason she may have come from Denmark to NZ between her birth year 1841 and her second marriage in 1875?

So the first variant is that she was born Reimath and her Father is William Reimath and mother is Emily Reimath (born Sorenson)

But another name has just popped up and there may be a record in Denmark for this name??
Brunger?
Mary Ann Brunger?
Father James Brungar, Mother Sarah Sophia Brungar (born Pile/ Pial)

Maybe Reimath was her first married name and Nielson has been accidentally picked up? Or visa versa?

I would appreciate any and all assistance as I'm really at a loss here in NZ as to where to look next.
Thanks in advance
Teresa

Ok no there was some confusion on my part.
Elizabeth Brunger was my great Grandads first wife.
Apologies

Mary Ann is not a Danish name. The combination Ane/Anne Marie is much more common than the weird sounding Marie Anne [it could have just been reversed when "anglified"].
Ane Marie Nielsen is 33 years when emigrating in 1873 - that is quite close to the year 1841 you gave.
This family is from Kastrup in southern Sjælland [Zealand], so not close to Copenhagen, though.
She is married the first time in Denmark, and has the time for her first husband to die [or divorce] and remarry in 1875.
Her maiden name is not given in the protocol, so it could potentially be "Reimath"

So try to find her in the New Zealand immigration a couple of months later in 1873 and see if you can follow her track to confirm if it's her or not.

Found the marriage of Pauline Nielsen in Kastrup parish in 1869.
Born: 15. november 1869.
Full Name: Pauline Mette Marie Nielsen.
Father: Rasmus Nielsen.
Mother: Ane Marie Hansen. [so we have her maiden name].
From: Neder Vindinge By in Kastrup Parish.
Source: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17116526#152513,25391557

So no "Reimath" or the like in her name, sadly.  

The family's immigration to Canterbury, NZ is here [20. september 1873]:

Just so you know we can't be certain it is her, since she is only called Ane Marie Hansen at the baptism of Pauline......
It's just the best fit I could find, but if she travelled from a german port for instance she wouldn't be in the Danish protocols....

Name   Position [Hustru = Wife, Landmand = Farmerm, Barn = Child]
Age      Destination (they want to go to).
Contract number   Date of showing papers [I assume going on the boat]
Last Parish stayed.  Last "Amt" stayed [greater area]
Last Place stayed    Destination Country.
Destination Town.   Destination State.
Name of Ship.

There is another possibility.
An early immigration to New Zealand in 1858, so before the Danish protocols.
BUT she is 10 years to old.

Arrival in Canterbury, NZ: 21. september 1858 [number 3 on the page].
P.L. Nielsen. Saddler.
Anna Maria Nielsen. Wife 29 years [so that is born 1829]
Frederica Maria

That is problematic that her mother is Mette Christendatter and not ?Emilie? [Emily] Sørensdatter [Sørensen] and from the confirmation information the father is Hans Andersen.

Checking the name-combinations Ane Marie/Maria, Anne Marie/Maria, Johanne Marie/Maria, Marianne, Mariane she is still the only real good fit agewise in the danish immigration protocols.  
[A few others are also fairly close, but all from Jutland and they would hardly say they were from "Copenhagen"?].

bepositive

But could that be right seeing as Poulines middle name is Mette?



Full Name:Pauline Mette Marie Nielsen.

I have found this but am not sure of it's relevance as I can't translate the language or the writing lol

In Danish records, I find the surname Reimuth, e.g. here in Copenhagen:

Gollich Strøm     21     Ugift            Stud. theol., Logerende

Perhaps Mary Ann was born out of wedlock?

This is 100% the Mary who is my Great great grandmother, and in this article it says she is widowed with 5 children!
This is when she was married to my great great grandfather Robert Signal. She married Rasmus Rasmussen after this so I have narrowed down her second marriage but no certain links prior to the signal marriage still



bepositive

I really think this one is close possible, it says Ann Marie but I cant see the writing to find an age for either of them?
Can anyone see the age for them by looking at the original document please??

I was very excited by that, :( only theyre buried together which means that might just be a dead end, as my ane marie/ mary ann went on to marry twice more and be buried as a Mary Ann Rasmussen

That's correct,
This is Rasmus Rasmussen, Mary Ann's (apparently) 3rd and final husband.

All I can find of Mary Ann is that 100% she was Married to my great great Grandad Robert Signal because that's where I came from, Newspaper clippings confirm scandal involving her Signal children and Rasmus Rasmussen and confirms they were married, so these two facts I can guarantee.
But beyond that, all I can consistantly locate in family trees or family searches is her by two other names, either Mary Ann Reimath, or Mary Ann Nielsen. Neither of which have come up fruitful apart from the first hint that was given in this link.

Her second marriage was to my great grandfather Robert Signal 5th October 1875 in Wanganui, New Zealand.

- at the marriage 1875, is there any mentioning of her marital status? Single, widow, divorced?

Maybe we should look for a Reimuth born in Copenhagen?
