A baptism of Frederick Andrew Shy, father George, mother Lene (as marriage found by gaffy). Perhaps Lene/Helen was the same person.

There are quite a few of us on RC with ancestors who were German pork butchers, so much so that there is a database which lists those who people are researching http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/dbsig/index.php?dbsig_name=German+Pork+Butchers

There is also a thread dedicated to German pork butchers, and several of the people on the thread are incredibly knowledgeable about this subject http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=408853.msg5142422#msg5142422

And welcome to RC!!!

1891 census states George Shy was born in Wurttemberg, Germany.  His wife is listed as Magdelene she was born in the same town.

Wow, I am overwhelmed with the super fast responses to this post. I think the Lena Krafft marriage is my George. I believe they came from Wutterburg in 186something. I have heard that she was a princess of sorts although i cannot confirm this. They married in Yorkshire and had a child george in 1868, I also think that they had a son Charles out of wedlock earlier. Any help would be super. Thank you. Sarah
