Getting back on the horse

[holl83]

I began researching my husbands family tree about four years ago and hit a few dead ends so I put it to bed. However I've got the searching bug again and want to pick it back up. I'm specially looking for records of when Ferdinand Noel Buch (b 1854 Copenhagen) arrived into England. I have first found him on the 1881 census in kings Lynn, then on the following  census records until his death in 1911. I've managed to follow him around the UK between 1881 and 1911, he worked as a ship brokers clerk and a coal and exports manager between these dates and lived in Scotland, hull and Liverpool to name but a few places. eventually he died in three hull asylum. Does anyone have any suggestions of where else I could look or research. I'm interested in why he would have come to the UK and why he would have moved around do frequently. Any ideas welcome.

Hi and welcome to rootschat

With his job is the most likely following the work and/or where he was sent. I would look into the company or companies he worked for and where their contacts were

Yeah that was a post I started a long time ago. I'm not 100% sure its correct.some of the children seemed to have arrived before they were married. I'm just rediscovering some things at the moment.

It may say on the census, if not then you search of likely companies in the area he was living and see if those companies other area offices, it looks like he was working in ship yard docks with the names of the places he lived, so companies who were importing/exporting coal etc

The port of Kings Lynn  thrived in the 19th century. Alexandra Dock was built in 1869. Bentinck Dock was built in 1883. In the 19th century grain was no longer exported it was imported as Britain could no longer feed itself and had to import food. Large quantities of coal were imported into Kings Lynn from North East England after the railway reached Kings Lynn in 1847.
