Hi,

His name is Frederick R.H.E. Buckholtz born Germany about 1879.
He married Mary Emma Varney 1907 Lewisham, they had children the last one born about 1914.

I have some paperwork and 1911 census for the family.

Mary Emma died 1958 her name is now listed as Buckholt.

I have a list of burials for Knockaloe Camp, Isle of Man, that shows Turks and Austrians as well as Germans.
There also appears to be some Irish, too?!

Sorry, my mistake.
I had been researching another side of the family, Mary Emma Varney, and entered the wrong name.
Frederick Buckholtz married as you say Kate Varney. Kate and Mary Emma were sisters.

Hi

The link where you can find interned men during WWI is this one:

By the way there are the names Buchhold and Buchholz.

There are many Buchholz but no Frederick R H E.

Hello Svenja

Many thanks for the link showing men interned during WW1.
As you say, many Buzkholtz listed, but not Frederick R.H.E.

Best wishes
Carol
