Dorset / Poole Magistrates court records - 1914
« on: Tuesday 20 September 22 08:59 BST (UK)  »
On 14 August 1914 the Bournemouth Graphic reported a case before the magistrates court under the Aliens Act of a young German seaman (Karl Holm) failing to report in the required time-frame.

He was placed in the care of Supt Bowles until it was determined if he could proceed to Fowey. Unfortunately there is no subsequent article in the newspaper that details the outcome.

Would there be court records from this period?

Europe / Re: Schroeder/Schroder around Berlin early 1900's

Dave,

that is correct, the names of the children came from a will and the ancestral line is correct. What I am trying to ascertain is potential issue from either Detlef or Manfred that will enable me to to confirm what the DNA testing is showing.

Thanks CiderDrinker,

that helps confirm the information that I have gleaned. What I am looking for is the possibility of locating descendants of any of those siblings who may still be residing around Berlin or Germany. My best hope are the two that I have identified - Detlef and Manfred who were born 1941 and 1943 who descend through Willi Otto. I am also unsure if there are descendants of Erich Erwin

Europe / Schroeder/Schroder around Berlin early 1900's
« on: Saturday 28 May 22 09:58 BST (UK)  »
Greetings,

For years I have been researching my family line based upon information gleaned from family mythology and some documentation that has surfaced. My grandfather played his cards close to his chest so little is known of his ancestral past and it has always focused on Norway and the surname HOLM.

However, DNA testing has altered that and although I do not have any confirmed direct link to the SCHROEDER name yet, an extensive family tree built from other DNA matches has pinpointed with some certainty my actual lineage which originates in Germany/Poland. (Y DNA confirmation)

My grandfather always stated he was born in Berlin prior to 1900 and it is now almost certain his father was Otto Heinrich SCHROEDER and his mother Anna Marie BREHM. Currently the aim is to find descendants still around Berlin and the most likely candidates would be related to Detlef Edmund SCHRODER born 1941 and Manfred Hubert SCHROEDER born 1943. Detlef's wife may have been Erika NEUBAUER. (this info from FindaGrave)

Detlef and Manfred were the children of Hubert Willi SCHROEDER and Helene Margarete FISCHER.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

regards

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Thomas CASS - Surveyor born 1817 in Yorkshire, possibly Brafferton

Thanks for all your input. I need to sit down and carefully map everything out but it appears that Thomas was one of six and his father was Michael.

Thanks everyone.

BumbleBe,

thanks for that. Now to make the leap of faith to link Thomas junior to being the same Thomas CASS, Surveyor

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Thomas CASS - Surveyor born 1817 in Yorkshire, possibly Brafferton
« on: Thursday 06 February 20 08:01 GMT (UK)  »
Thomas CASS was born in Yorkshire in 1817 and went on to become a notable surveyor in the early days in the development of New Zealand.

In all of the bio's and wiki's his birth is only referred to as 1817 with no location.

I have located a possible candidate who was christened in Brafferton, York on 28 May 1817 with parents of Thomas and Elizabeth but there is no other information that would link this record to the above person.

Unfortunately Father = Thomas Cass is not too meaningful due to the large number of Thomas (and wife Elizabeth) that feature in records on FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeitage.

Every bio that I have read on the subject person are very vague as to the birth location and date, but all dates post that are very specific like his travel to NZ and subsequent marriage and death.

It is possible that Thomas Cass (born 1817) also had a brother and sister but again I cannot locate potential candidates.

Your input and thoughts would be appreciated.

The Common Room / Schooner DAIRYMAID 1915
« on: Friday 03 January 20 07:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi list,

on February 11 1915 the schooner Dairymaid sailed from Teignmouth bound for Runcorn with a cargo of clay. It never reached it's destination and on 22 April was listed as 'missing'.

My grandfather crewed on this ship in 1912 and 1913 and is listed on Crewlist. There are no crew lists for 1914 available and there will be no list for 1915 as they were submitted every six months to the local registry (Lancashire in this case)

A family story is that he was on a vessel that sunk and was not found for some time and ended up in Queenstown, Ireland. His fiancée/girlfriend took his identification papers over - he was Norwegian and had lived in Fowey since 1912.

I am not sure that the ship in question is the one he was on and searches of newspapers for Cornwall, Devon and Ireland have not shed any further light on the fate of the ship and it's crew. Being WW1 there were more important events in the press.

I would appreciate local knowledge or possible sources of further research.

London and Middlesex / Private school around Hampstead, 1939
« on: Thursday 10 March 16 08:58 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to the 1939 Register release I have broken a wall but now have a question. Three people whom I have identified from the register are listed as having various education occupations and appear to have worked at the same private school which was probably in close proximity to their domicle in Adamson Rd, Hampstead. One is listed as a Teacher (private coaching educator), one is a College custodian and the third is Principal of Private School. The Principal was Ellen M Plumridge which may help identify the school.

Any thoughts?

regards

Bruce
