Europe / Re: Help please! German Ancestors

Hi Sue
Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately we are unable to find anything further out as we are in Australia and not able to gain access to Naturalisation Archives and we have no relatives who are able to do so.  We traced the family as far as we could on censuses which only states Germany as birth place.

Lancashire / Re: Burial twiss (more info)

I agree Alpinecottage have also already checked census records there was only 1 Twist in Wiltshire in 1841 that was a David Twist with no other family members. And as you say Swindon was the main workshops for Brunells Locomotivs and suplied Locos right up till recently to B/R. This is the only Edmund Twist Died during that decade

Yes Washy
As an engineer at that time there were major engineering projects going on all over the country and as was stated before the registration would have taken place where he died not where he was buried or lived.
