Help please 1861 Census
« on: Wednesday 06 February 13 16:56 GMT (UK) »
Ancestry has a Sophie Foigt b. 1833 Germany on Yorkshire 1861 Census. Cannot find this entry on other web-sites a nd wondered if sks could help. I really only want to know where she was born as I am trying to find birthplace of someone by same surname who died before birthplace was needed on Census. Most grateful for any help to give a clue as where maybe this person came from to give a starting point for research. It is only a long shot I know but could help. This Sophie I would not thought would be a relative but Foigt is not a common name and I cannot find any alien records for about 1800. Many thanks, Syljun

She is living alone, and birthplace just says"Germany"!

Hi

I had a look in the 1871 census and found a Sophia Peels born 1831 she was from Mecklenburg, she was married with 2 children and they lived in West Sculcoats, Hull. I tried finding a marriage or the birth record of their children but no luck.
Don't know if this helps.
