Naturalization Record

Absolutely the wrong person, thanks , it sets my mind at rest.

I now have an image of the final resting place of Charles Henning (attached) thanks to the kind folks at Arlington Cemetery.

I am now trying to work my way downline from Charles and his wife Anna/Annie Graf, I have two daughters confirmed Annie & Josephine, and their marriages and offspring. Josephine married Fred Goppert and their eldest child Arthur Joseph Goppert married Bella/Bell Taggart originally from Ireland and I have found 2 children for this couple, Ruth born 1913 and Fred born 1916. I have no more on the children other than Fred seems to have passed away in Los Angeles in 1997, his father also having passed away in California (San Francisco) in 1959. I cant establish when the family moved to California nor can I find spouses for either Ruth or Fred. My aim is to try to find living relatives in the hope that they will have information about Charles Henning that will help to conclusively tie him as the same guy who moved from Norway to the UK and then to the US.

This could be Ruth (as Morrison) in the 1940 census - living in what appears to be the same household is an Isabella Goppert 57 and Frederick Goppert aged 23

haven't found a marriage record for Fred yet but here's his divorce:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VPRF-GKX

This site claims to name other family members (including the ex-wife) and states that at one point he lived in Alaska

ADDED: City Directories for Frederick show him in NJ with mother Belle (listed as widow of Arthur) and state that he is in the US Navy.  The 1948 directory states 'rem to Pomona Cal'

By 1958 he is an Insurance Salesman in La Jolla, California & wife Joan is also listed,

If you have ANC* there is a birth record for a son born to Frederick & Joan in 1946, and also some passenger lists showing him visiting the UK as a child.

More wonderful finds Jomot thank you. I dont have ANC unfortunately just FindMyPast.

[Jomot]

As he may still be living I can't name him, but Familysearch has the same birth record
