Other Countries / Research in Germany - marriage and births
« on: Sunday 14 August 22 12:24 BST (UK)  »
My research has ground to a halt as I've no clue how to carry on.
I have Carl Friedrich August SCHMIDT (aka August) born abt 1828 married (don't know when) to Johanna Bertha KOCHENDORFER born 1825 Bernau, Germany. Sailed from Hamburg 1858 to South Africa with children Franz (11), Bertha (9), Max (5), Robert (3), Emilie (2)
On Johanna Bertha's death Notice in 1905 children Franz and Bertha are noted as step children.
On Franz's marriage he wrote that he was known as Francis WENDT.

I'm completely stumped with the "new" Familysearch - really don't seem to find the right filters.
Don't have a clue how to research in Germany.
Any help please will be greatly appreciated.

Blimey! I'm getting sooo befuddled and confused. Started a message went to check my info and it's lost! when I try get back.
Okay!
Here's what I have James PARK married 6 June 1854 St Fergus to Mary DAVIDSON
James Murray PARK born 1855 Aberdour
William Sivewright PARK born 1864 St Fergus.
I thought with all this info doors would be flying open But .......Scotlandpeople site just isn't the same (as I remember) and I can't find these people on any census.

Please can anyone help..... I'd like to know if there are any other children. Perhaps deaths and or grandparents names.
James and William both married and died in South Africa...... did the whole family go there? I don't know.
Any help greatly appreciated

Essex / BERRY Harry John
« on: Tuesday 10 September 13 00:33 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I am battling to find this man and his family on any of the census
Harry John BERRY b 12 Oct 1870 Stratford (I have a birth registration) to John Gerkin BERRY and Emily PEARCE married Dec 1864 St Thomas,Stepney(Familysearch)
Harry married in South Africa but there is a Robert Christian BERRY that signs as a witness who I'm assuming is a brother - birth Registration 1878 Mile End.
Although the family it appears were in South Africa - from 1864 to 1878 they must have been in the UK so should by all accounts be on a census.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I'm trying to find service records for Henry PENN born abt 1821 London. In 1855 he was appointed Chief Constable to Oudtshoorn and George Town, Cape Colony.
I don't find a service record in the NAAIRS index and have written to Oudtshoorn museum for help but was also unsuccessful.
His service record must be filed somewhere but I just don't know where to look.
