Germany - Kassel, Valentine (Valentin?)

[sthwales]

I'm searching for John Valentine. He shows on the 1871 & 1881 UK Census as living in London. His birthplace is given as Kassel, Hessen. His year of birth is given as 1824 (suspect as with all census ages!) and he's a widower. His occupation is given as tailor.

I know absolutely nothing about his birth, marriage/wife's name or when he moved to the UK. Is there someone who has information that might be relevant & would be good enough to take a look for me?

He did have a child born in London in 1862, but I don't know enough about the birth to be able to order a certificate. Yet ;-)

Many thanks
Clive
