Family History Beginners Board / Alfred Robert Louis Koenig/Konig/King
« on: Friday 28 May 10 19:29 BST (UK)  »
Alfred Robert Louis Koenig was my greatgrandfather.  He came to England around 1892 and married my English greatgrandmother, Elizabeth Frances Watts, in 1894.  I have his census records, marriage and death certificates and the names of his 5 children.  However, I don't know his date of birth, except that the year was 1869 or 1870, and I don't know where he came from in Germany.  My mother said that he was from Saxony, but that's all I know.  His father's first name was Emil, mother unknown.  He had a sister, possibly named Caroline.

Ring any bells, anyone??

Family History Beginners Board / Ellen Louisa Gilbert Beachcroft Harrison
« on: Sunday 23 May 10 15:55 BST (UK)  »
This lady was divorced in London in 1891 and very possibly went to South Africa in 1894 her only child, a 5 year old son.  Her ex-husband's name was Wilton Forrester Battern, also known as William Foster Battern.  Her mother was Louisa Walker Brown Harrison, occupation described as 'literary' (I think she wrote children's books under the name of Louise Walker).  Does anyone recognise any of these names?  I know what happened to Ellen's son (he was my grandfather), but I don't know what happened to Ellen or her mother.   Any help at all very gratefully received!
