Fascinating I recently found this article referring to my Grandmother and her father  http://s40local.co.uk/chesterfield-1915/

In town a crowd of mostly women attacked the market stall of a Mr Haag, a German pork butcher, terrifying his daughter who was running it, and then laid siege to his shop in Glumangate. Ironically, Mr Haag was a naturalised British citizen of long standing and his son had joined the British army.

Thanks - my cousin just found it,  I was thrilled to get it, see the shop and my GGpa George Haag !!
 I had a question which I hope someone may know the answer,  re why did so many  German butchers move from Wurttemburg in the mid 1800's - anyone know ?
TIA

My great grandfather Georg Haag came from Eberbach, Baden Wurtemburg to England and was a butcher in Chesterfield, Derbyshire I recently was sent a picture of his shop in  1911
