I want to vent! - I get so frustrated with Kew - you wade through all their searches -  only to find out you can only read them there -  and I can't get there........I suppose the next step is to try and find somebody else to do it ..... but I've just spent a couple of hours -  feeling like  I'm getting somewhere
 and then boom.....!!!! - Thank's for listening -  I know I'm not the only one...... I'll just have to look up somebody else

Hello Bob,

.There are records of internees in the archives at Kew and I understand from HO records that someone took a census in 1916 of all the internees in the IOM under 45. I sent a request to Kew but they said I would have to go in person to do the search. Then I heard from a researcher there that the records had been lost in the archives. I got the POW # from a lady in the Anglo-German Family History Society so there must be info. somewhere in the UK that would give the background I am looking for. I am waiting for more news from the Society.
 Incidentally, Ernest Oswin Ihle's name in the 1901 census was written as Oswin FHLE. He was 24 at that time. Took me ages to find that.
Once again, I appreciate your information and efforts. I'm still searching and used the addresses you gave me but no luck yet.

[lI am searching for information on the birthplace of German immigrant Ernest Oswin Ihle.  The 1901 census shows him in Manchester but he was married in July 1903 to Hannah Weigel Dangerfield in St. Annes Church, Parish of Stanley, Liverpool.   Later lived in Moreton, Cheshire.  He was interned in the IOM (Knockaloe Camp) during WW1.  He died 7 Jan 1934 at 107, Rice Lane, Walton (hospital).  Dau Phyllis Ella, Son Charles.  Two other daughters I think.  Residence at time of death, 92 Falkner St. Liverpool.  Any info. would be very much appreciated.
