in 1841 George (b 1816) and his new wife janet Kennedy, are living in Hatters square.  in 1851 they are living in Posterngate and George i s a butcher. by 1861 he has moved to 12 Prince St where his aged mother Ann Foster, is living with them.  generally the census records say they were both bortn in Hull, but one, 1851 I think, says janet was born in Sculcoates and George in Hull, so it could well be Holy Trinity, sorry.   given that he lived in Posterngate and Prince St, this would suggest he was born round Holy Trinity. 

thank you. 

thank you so  much.    hoping to go there this afternoon.   there was a headstone which my grandfather paid to have restored in 1957 ..... so maybe it will still be there.   first burial was 1879, Louisa Strachan ...

many many thanks.

hello, can you help me please?  I am looking for compartment 83, grave  78, name Strachan, and wondering where to start in Hedon Road cemetary?   thank you. 

in 1891 and 1901 Rose and Matilda's mother Julia Steinbach is living with them in Hull.   She was born in Wurtemburg in 1830.  she is living with George and Matilda Wittman.

thank you so much.  I think that brothers George and John  wittman came over, John  with his wife Mathilda, (nee steinbach)   Her sister Rose Steinbach then came over, presumably to join her and find work.   This Rose is my great grandmother and it is hers and the Wittmans origins I am interested.

thank you for your help.
