Pembrokeshire / Germans living in Pembroke in 1851
« on: Tuesday 30 April 13 21:38 BST (UK) »
My great great grandfather was John (Johan) Brickle (Brickel) who lived in Pembroke in 1851. Previously he was listed in the 1841 census as John Spille or Spiller and was living in Llanelly. He had a daughter Abigail who was born in Cae-draw, Merthyr Tydfil on 1 April 1840 and her father is named as John Brickel and mother as Elizabeth Brickel formerly Michael. The father John was a musician or fiddler.
I would like to know why this family moved to Pembroke and where they came from in Germany, as both John and Elizabeth were born in Germany.
Does anybody have any information that could help me trace the German family?
Thanks
