Sigwarth in Marylebone / London

[Berlin-Bob]

Hi Robin and Groom,

you beat me to it: I was also going to say the same thing. 

Many german families in Britain changed their names before and during World War 1 because of anti-german feelings.  There have been several topics about this on RootsChat, especially on the anglicisation of german names (i.e. trying to guess what the name might have been before, in Germany), but in this case, it looks like they simply stuck to the maiden name of Florian's wife, Catherine Moriarty.

regards,
Bob

Possibly, but, she carried it on.

well, i guess this can be checked with the death-certificate.
but i do have a problem to order that (see information on my 3rd last entry here).

Thanks for that, it must have been very difficult in London from German origins at that time

is there any chance to order that death-certificate ? when i fill out the request, they want to keyed in the exact death date, but in only know the quarter and the year, but you HAVE to fill it out completely...

Where are you ordering from? I've just tried the GRO and all it needs is the age at death and we know that is 86. Once you put that in it just wants the quarter and year which is Sept 1965. The District name is Lambeth, the volume number 5C and the page 159.

by he way: i found the newspaper article:  https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31517/page/10688

Robin, you need to answer yes to the question about whether you know the GRO Index Ref number. That will take you to a screen where it asks for the volume and page number rather than date.

On the German Pork Butcher topics and on many other topics on the Europe board, there are several stories about hostility towards people who had lived in these places for 30 years and more, and were respected members of the community, but were now - suddenly - German foreigners, the "enemy" !!

craclyn: yes, i know the page of the GRO. i already ordered the marriage certificate for Florian sen. and Catherine Moriarty. But yesterday evening i tried to order the death cert for Hyacinthe and on the first side of the request you have to key in the age at death. thats ok, we got that. but when you flip to second side, you have to make more entries, also the exact death date... and because this is a must-filled-in date, i cannot continue...
