Searching for any info or descendants of Furringtons & Ralphs in Germany

Harr˙ Alfred Hermann (b 26 May 1899) who married Elizabeth Grune in 1923 but that's as far as I can get with this couple

Hi Ben
you didn´t state when Harr˙ Alfred Hermann died.
On their marriage certificate there is a side notation saying that he died on July 9 1965 in Dessau. 757/1965. Just thought i´d mention it

But I don't have any info on Alice Gertrud and Hermann Clauss after their marriage

On the 2nd page of the marriage certificate from Hermann Clauss and Alice Ralph there is a side notation saying
a son born 21.3.1895 in Altwasser Nr.115/95
the son married on the 27.1.1944 in Chemnitz Nr.51

and i think this is him, Hermann Clauss-Ralph
Chemnitz Adressbuch 1943/44

sales representative for tools, machines and metal goods

He is listed from 1930 - 1944
If you look at the entries on the left you will see another Hermann Clauss, invalid.
Could be his father

Thank you for all this info. It is all new to me. So the son was given a double barrelled name?

Is there no info on a daughter? Or maybe Hermann married and that's the 'Annie' in the photo I have.

the side  notation on the marriage certificate from Hermann Clauss and Alice Ralph
stating: a son born 21.3.1895 in Altwasser Nr.115/95,  is Georg Herbert Arthur Clauss born in Altwasser, Silesia (Schlesien)

the Hermann Clauss-Ralph I found could be a brother

The daughters could also have been born in Altwasser.

Thank you for the further details. I will have a look at the links in more detail over the weekend. It's nice to know they called a child George Herbert. That's the name of Alice's brother and also her uncle  (on the Furrington side) and Arthur is the name of two of Alice's brothers (the first survived. The second died).

Helene Maria Clara, born 1870. She married Matthew Hawkins and had Alfred & Gertrude Ellen Nell˙ Hawkins. I've found nothing else on these.

I've managed to find that at least the two children came to England. Alfred is on the 1911 census in Leeds and Gertrude is on the 1939. They both married and Alfred had children. I'm not sure about Gertrude yet. She was accused of having an affair in the 30s. Alfred died in Skipton and Gertrude in Keighley.

I think I can assume Matthew was English? He's a very English name. I'd like to know if maybe they came to England too.
