I checked my list of c250 Internee burials on the Isle of Man.
Nobody by the name of Behrendt on the list.

He may also have changed his name(s) to ones that are not so German or Jewish sounding.

I don't think he did that as I have him crossing backwards and forwards from English ports to US ports from 1925 and all manifests show him as Curt Adolf Behrendt  but thank you for replying

I know hedidnt do that as I have him listed as Curt Adolf Behrendt on ships manifests from 1925 crossing from English ports to US ports.  I just need to know why he didn't come back to his English wife and 2 children after the Ww1 and where he went at that time until I find him on various ships.

Thank you anyway

Have you found them on the 1911 census - their marriage certificate should give the name/occupation of his father as a starting point  :)

No I haven't checked 1911 census  but will do so soon.  I have Curt Adolf Behrendt and Madge Price's marriage certificate and have his father's occupation as brickmaker "master" and I know where they lived when children were born

Thank you for replying

bbart  put:
'Im not convinced this is the same fellow, as the one sailing around (born Metz) is an architect, and first name (handwritten on one of the ledgers) was Walter.'

Is yours an architect?
Added: no, a clerk....

Was Curt named as father on Joseph's birth certificate?
