Lendeman family moved from Germany to Lincolnshire

[Sally4x]

Sophia Lendeman remarried 17 May 1866 to Benjamin Marshall (FreeREG)
Her Father was James GAGEN a Labourer.

She didnt wait long to remarry.

I'm confused. I thought her maiden name was Prior...

Karen

I think it means that Sophia was illegitimate. So confusing!

There is also an Immenhausen in Kassel nearby. I need to search around this area.

Yep very confusing;

Sophia Prior Gagen GAGEN Baptised 04 Jan 1832, Holy Innocents, Foulsham, Norfolk
Parents James GAGEN, Sophia PRIOR
Notes; Bp.surname: PRIOR

Here is the connection to the Nickels name;

1841 Census
Foxley, Norfolk
Robert Nickells, 25, Ag Lab
Elizabeth Nickells, 25
Deborah Nickells, 6
George Nickells, 4
Louisa Nickells, 2
Sophia PRIOR, 8*******

Marriage;
30 Oct 1832 Foulsham, Elizabeth PRIOR to Robert NICHOLS
Witnesses, Thomas Fox/Wm Fox/Maria Prior*
(FreeREG)

Possible Marriage for Maria Prior 03 Nov 1835 to George FULLER

Now interestingly that Baptism is also under;
Sophia Prior GAGEN
Parents WILLIAM/SOPHIA
Father occupation   Groom to Cubit Francis
Notes, William GAGEN the reputed father

[Sally4x]

And I had always presumed that Elizabeth Prior was her mother!

She states that James Gagen is her father on both of her marriage certificates, but now we have a possible William Gagen. Sigh!

Hannah Maria Lendeman is my great grandmother. Her daughter Sarah Elizabeth Smith is my mother’s mother. Hannah was named as Annie Maria Lendeman on my Grandmother’s birth certificate (signed with her mark). Her date and place of birth chime with the information above.

What is now known about the arrival of the Lendemans from Germany to Lincolnshire?

I did click on <Reply>. But managed to include my query inside the quote ;-) For clarification, my query is:

Hannah Maria Lendeman is my great grandmother. She married Richard Cooling in Grimsby.. Her daughter Sarah Elizabeth Smith (nee Cooling) is my mother’s mother, born 1888. Hannah was named as Annie Maria Lendeman on my Grandmother’s birth certificate (signed with her mark - so in her 30s, Hannah couldn't write). Her date and place of birth chime with the information above. She had ten children, sveral of whom died.

What is now known about the arrival of the Lendemans from Germany to Lincolnshire? Can anyone summarise? Is the German place of origin settled now?

That would put the Lendeman family’s home 90km down what’s now the A19 road from the city/port of Rostock on the Baltic, and 100 km from the fishing port Warnemünde. Which makes it reasonable that young Johannes Lendeman should have become a fisherman rather than a weaver like his father, and sailed to Grimsby?

Is there are reference to online documents (census, BMD etc) on Johannes?
