German Pork Butchers in Britain

[Histres]

Hello SwissGill,

Today I was in the Central Protestant Church Archive of Württemberg in Stuttgart. I found some entries for Hermann Pfisterer-Margarete Brück, Friedrich Beyer-Katharina Köberer and Johann Heinzmann.
I'll send you scans of the documents by e-mail.

Best wishes

I am currently researching the Beyer Family who were Pork Butchers in Bradford, Yorkshire. Johann Karl Beyer was born at Kocherstetten, Kuenzelsau, Wuerttemberg, in 1866, the son of Frederick Beyer and Catherine Koberer.

Hello Southyorkie,
I found the Beyer-Köberer family in Kocherstetten' church archive. If you can pm me your e-mail address, I will send you some scans of the documents.

With kind regards
Histres

Hello all,

After I have been able to help several descendents of German pork butchers finding their forefathers, I need some help myself. I am looking for an

Elisabeth Diez who married in Barrow, Lancashire in 1878 Karl Friedrich Röger (Roger) and gave birth to eight children between 1878 and 1891.

I would be very grateful for your hints.Thank you.

Found them!!

They moved to Camberwell in London. Karl Friedrich Ernst Roger 1857-1927 emigrated from Niedernhall Germany in 1873. Married Elizabeth Christina Dietz in Barrow on July 22 1878.

In 1891, Charles has his own Pork Butcher Shop with servants and shop assistants (all German born).

Maybe you would like to PM or mail me and I can give you the whole story?

Hi Histress & Swissgill,

I am searching for a Friedrich C Roger who I believe was a brother of "your" Karl Friedrich Ernst Roger. He was a Butcher from Niedernhall and married a Sophia Weber from Inglefingen. They had 5 children who I cannot trace. Friedrich died Dec 1941 aged 78 while Sophia died in 1943 aged 73. They both died in Ulverston. When Sophia first arrived in England she lived in Congleton. I cannot find their marriage or birth of any their children.

Would appreciate any help.

Hello rebew,
all I can do for you is sending you a list of information that I collected in connection with Röger butchers and Röger emigrants. I'll send you the list by e-mail. SwissGill can perhaps find more information in the English censuses.
