Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: RUDIS 1871 Austrian subject’s birthplace in 1901 Census

The Naturalization document shows that J.W.Dittrich was born in Radis in Czechoslovakia in 1874. This place was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today Radis is probably Radice which is 30 miles south of Prague. Thanks for help on this topic. I will close this thread. Peter Yerburgh.

Very many thanks for all your help. I will get 'my builder' (Bernard Dittrich) to make appication for information about J.W.Dittrich. He will be as amazed as I am to have found such generous help in such a short space of time! I will keep the thread going for two more days in case I get some more light on RUDIS. Adieu, Peter.

I thank you for the information about the 'naturalization' of a J.W. Dittrich born in 1874. He may well be the man I am seeking. Could you kindly advise me as to which part of the National Archives I would have to go to find out more. Thanks, Peter.

RUDIS. Thank you for the helpful suggestion about Rudice being a possibility. I got a German friend to pronounce that place and it sounded like Roode' say. However, there was another Croatian village called Rdes. In 1870, it was 2 miles from Zagreb but is today inside that city. So I will follow up both places as possibilities.

RUDIS. Joseph Dittrich married an English girl in 1899 but the 1911 census he is still an Austrian subject, born in Rudis. I don't know what happened to him during World War I but he opened a hardware stores in Hastings in 1923. How could I find out if he became a naturalised UK citizen? Peter.

I am helping our ‘builder’ to trace his grandfather’s birthplace.
The birthplace of his grand-father, Joseph Dittrich.is given as Rűdis (Autrian subject) in the 1901 UK Census ( and as Rudis in 1910). Could the Census maker have put this name as short for Rűderdorf? Any suggestions most welcome. Peter.
