The Common Room / Re: Book wanted on Heldreich family
« on: Thursday 15 June 17 19:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi, you may have purchased a copy of the book by now after hopefully reading my nephew, Johnathan's post to you (I couldn't tell whether or not the moderator had removed his posting or not). Graeme Heldreich was my brother and died 4 years ago. The book will not be available in a bookshop, as it was printed privately. A copy should be available from Jonnie, Edward or Richard, Graeme's sons, my nephews, on Facebook.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 lookup please heldreich family

Hi, I'm a Heldreich by birth. Otto Ernst von Heldreich was my ancestor. He fought in the Penninsular wars (Napoleon), was captured by the British and brought over to England and billeted in an Inn in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. In those days, officers were not imprisoned but allowed to wander around freely, as they were on their honour not to try to escape. He was the second son of a Baron, but married one of the Innkeeper's daughters, Margaret Whittiker and never returned home. The book you are after, my family history, in one of your other posts, was written by my brother Graeme, who passed away 4 years ago. It was printed privately, so you won't find it in a bookshop. You can probably buy a copy from his sons, Richard, Edward and Johnathan, my nephews.
