4 English men in Hesse Dormstadt
« on: Thursday 21 May 09 12:23 BST (UK) »
Can anyone offer any information please about 4 Englishmen who were living in Offenbach in the Duchy of Hesse Dormstadt in 1819?.

Number one, a Thomas Ruffin died there on 4th May 1819.

Number two, a Thomas Keyse who was said also to be living there on the same date ,  he may have died there shortly afterwards.

Number three, a John Hinde, who I think returned to England by 1822

Number four, a James Taylor, who I think also returned to England by 1822.

This information comes from a will of Thomas Ruffin and some subsequent Chancery cases

The one answer I would really like is the death date of Thomas Keyse and his burial.
