Yes, Herman and Barbara are my x5 great grandparents.
Just like to say that people at that time travelled great distances sometimes to the other side of the world - these were ordinary working class people. Some of them made it to America. So from Scotland to Kent, would have been quite possible.
And also how do we know she was 'working-class'?

I know Herman was in the 20th Hussars - born in Germany then looks like he went to England then moved with his family to Italy because of his military career.

In the 1800's most people were working class.

So when was Herman born and when did they both die?

You should always work backwards from what you do know, not find something in the records online and try to make it fit.

Hello all,

A burial record showing for 3 month old Barbary Aberdeen from Cherry Garden, Feb 1762 St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, Surrey shows at least one family of that name living in the south of England mid 18thC

Herman's estimated birth date is 1783, Germany. He died around 1877 in Germany. I'm unsure when Barbara died.

Can you possibly find a death record for her??

without knowing where, it could be very difficult.

Hi there,

hoping to find information on Barbara Aberdein born around 1766 in Aberdeen. She married Herman Minster/Munster in 1806 in Maidstone, Kent. I would like to find out who her parents were, if possible.

Regards,

Tabitha
