Hi again,
I hope you are well. Just to ask do you have anymore information about the family during the conflict, how they survived, and the support from salvation army? Don't worry if not. Anything you can find would be greatly appreciated. If you like I can send some info on the camp.
All the best,
Henry

Wow incredible photographs. Interesting to hear that they stayed in the UK as many migrated. If you have any other material such as letters or notes I would love to read/ look at them.

Here is a photo of a newspaper report from I think November 1914 in the Lancaster Guardian. At the very end it states 4 aliens from the district were interned. Christian could have been one of them.

Hi Again,
Just another quick note. It is interesting that Chritian was interned in 1914 then released. It does not say where he was initially interned, but I have an assumption it might have been Lancaster. This is because Newspaper reports suggest 4 people from the district were interned in 1914 there, which could have included him. Furthermore, the date of his release corresponds with the closing of the Lancaster prison, which makes sense why he was then re-inturned in Handforth Cheshire in July 1915. By that time enforcement and internment of aliens had grown in scale as a reaction to the sinking of the Lusitania and the change in government. Hope this is helpful. If you have anymore info about his release at the end of the war I would be fascinated to know.
Kind regards,
Henry

Hi,
Thank you so much for your response. The material you have sent is extremely insightful. I am writing a research project on enemy aliens in Lancaster during WW1 and was wondering if you would allow permission for it to be used there? It would not be published in public and would form part of the project. That is incredible to hear about the family having looked at the census material. Do you have anymore information about Christian after the war and their family. Do you know how Mary Dixon and their children was helped, was it the local salvation army in Lancaster? Anymore information on how they experienced xenophobia would be interesting.
Thank you for sharing your material.
With best wishes,
Henry

Hi There,
I saw that you have an ancester of the Walls, German butchers who lived in Cumbria and also Lancaster. I was wondering if you have any family details about them and how WW1 affected them. I am researching internment in Lancaster during the war and wondering if they experienced any trauma during the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Henry

Dear all,
I am researching internment of enemy 'aliens' during WW1 and in particular the Lancaster camp. I was wondering if anyone is a relative or knows of anyone interned there. The community in Lancaster was very small, here is a list of the Butchers there:
http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/dbsig/dbsig-quick-search.php?dbsig_num=2&place=Lancaster#top_data
They interned boys from fishing vessels and civilians from around the area. If anyone has any family history or reports that would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Henry
