Hello,

I am french and I search the ancestors of Rudolf FELTON, furnier who was born about 1858 in Germany, lived on 31 of march  1901 at Thundersley (Essex), and in 1911 at Kensington, married with Hedwing (who was born in 1855 in Germany), parents of Erick FELTON, furnier (born in 1881. Thak you for advance.

Naturalisation of son 'Erick' on 30/5/1908 gives his full name as Albert Erick Richard Felton, aged 28 (bc.1880) born Berlin, Germany, son of Rudolph and Hedwig.

I know you are asking about the father Rudolph Felton, however the birth registration of Albert Erick
Richard FELTEN in Berlin Germany is on ancestry, he was born 29 January 1880.

The son also served with the 30th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment WWI, regimental number 93626. he served from 18 October 1917 to 18 March 1919. He was aged 37 years 9 months and Fur Cutter by trade, 5 feet 4 inches tall with varicose veins and heart trouble.
Address 5 Denholme Road Maida Hill London, wife Agnes Rose May Jones who he married 13 April 1914 at All Saints Kensington.
He died 25 January 1925 aged 44 registration district Paddington, his will/probate filed February 1927.

Finally found them in 1891 census Islington, surname transcribed as FOLTON
Rudolph Folton 33  Furrier born Germany
Hedwig            36 born Germany
Ehrick              11 scholar born Germany

Charles Windhorst (sp)  53 Bookseller born Germany
Nicholas v  ??                23  Tailor born Holland
the last 2 are boarding with the Folton family

This narrows the time period when they moved to England after 1880 birth of Albert Erick Richard and the 1891 census.
I'll see if I can find them 1881

It seems that this family seemed to be using second or third of their Christian names.

Again on Ancestry, this must be the marriage of the parents:

Carl Paul Rudolph Felten (born 18th May 1857) married Martha Hedwig Gorschel (surname omitted on transcription), born 11th July 1854, on 30th October 1879 in Berlin.

Annette, Admong,

You are really efficient, thank you very much.
In fact, I searched infomations about Rudolf FELTON of England (1857-1927), because i am unable to discover the origins of Rudolf FELTON who was born in Germany about 1833 and who was dead at Queenstowm (in Ireland) in 1906 (see my other posts on Rootschat). And I believed these Rudolf FELTON were probably kindred (cousins). So if you clud still help me, this would be great.

Have you tried getting the marriage certificate of Rudolph Felton who married Ellen Sullivan 18 April 1863 in Ireland. It may give his fathers name and if he was single or widowed.

His death registration lists him as Carl Rudolph Felton, but on census and marriage he was Rudolph Felton using his middle name the same pattern as Rudolph and Hedwig Felton.

The one who lived in Ireland is actually old enough to be his father.

You could also contact the Washington State (USA) genealogical society or specifically Bremerton Washington, two daughters of the Ireland Rudolph Felton emigrated to USA about 1885.
Eda/Ida (1872) died as Eda Woods  21 December 1941
Margaret Ann (1876) died  as Margaret Rainford 15 July 1947
both of Bremerton Washington and there are a number of family members still living there, they might know more about the family
