Hallo - can I add something to this interesting topic.  My gg grandfather Johannes Von der Wege came to England and married Anna Kraft in 1862.  The had a daughter Anna and a couple of other children, both of whom died.   Johannes remarried and had more children.   Anna married Robert Mallett in London and had my grandmother and her two sisters. 

Children from his second wife - Elizabeth Woolston he had William and Rose Elizabeth.  Rose Elizabeth married Edward Heape and I have just discovered that William married in 1913 Alice Annie Russell in St Pauls Bethnal Green.  By now the name has changed to Fonderway.  Someone did look in the internment records in Kew and found that William had been interned.  I now wonder what happened to his wife and also Rose Elizabeth and her husband.  I know my Grandmother had a visit from the police and they wanted to take her away - her husband was away in France fighting the Germans!!

I have been to Germany and been to the village where Johannes was born.  It is probably exactly the same now as it was then.  There is also a family there with the same name who made us most welcome and we had a wonderful week with them. 

Does anybody know of anyone who researches in Kew?  I cannot get there and cannot lay my hands on the piece of paper sent to me.  I really would like to find out what happened to William.

Hi,

an update:

someone with a fantastic reference on the Times Newspaper managed to find references for the death of Siegmund's wife Adele, and the subsequent social histories of the children.  These newspaper items included births, deaths and marriages as well as graduations from Oxford University and entrance to legal positions in the Inner and Middle Temple.

Without adding a burden to the person who was able to help me, I would suggest that The Times is an excellent reference and perhaps there may be a copy in Canada for you and for others in England, perhaps at your local library.

The lady with the reference answered a post I made here on Rootschat and truly solved what was the mystery of a lifetime (well five lifetimes really!lol).

Just goes to show.....This community really is the most generous and altruistic online.

*** A quick footnote for those in the UK or who have access to BB2:  Next Wednesday 18 January 2006, a new series of "Who Do You Think You Are?" begins (check your local time listings) starring celebrities such as Steven Fry and Jane Horrocks (Little Voice), searching for their ancestors.

I've just been having a look through the national archive site and I'm excited to discover that I can order the naturalisation papers of a Hungarian ancestor  from 1856. before I go ahead and order them could anyone give me an idea of the sort of information it might contain. For example, am I likely to discover the town/village of origin?

Thanks in anticipation
Sarah

I have one from 1872, but it did not tell me the person's parents names or where exactly he had come from, unfortunately.  It was still interesting though.  It does give his signature, and the names and addresses and signatures of those who endorsed his application.
