Ko(e)rner

[Wmouse]

Hi,

I am not sure of a county, but I am looking for any information someone may have regarding John William Ko(e)rner. He was married in Scotland in 1848, but I cannot find anything on his birth in Scotland. Someone suggested that I try Wales as Ko(e)rner is a German name and a lot of German's settled in Wales before they moved on to other countries.

If anyone can help it would greatly appreciated.

Have you got the name of a wife or children (with dob) that might help confirm?

What other info do you have? When did he "move on to other countries"?, so we know what sort of time scale we are looking at.

I have 1807 as John William Ko(e)rner's birth year.  He married Elizabeth Bruce Anderson born Oct. 25,1826 in Kirkaldy, Fife, Scotland, on June 12, 1845, in Barony, Lanark, Scotland.
Children are: Mary Louisa Charlotte born Mar 12, 1847 in Glasgow
Charles Henry born 1849, died 1929 Glasgow
Caroline Estelle born Dec 22, 1854 in Barony, Lanark who married WW Davenport Adams on Oct 19, 1875 In Glasgow. WW Davenport Adams wrote several books, in fact I managed to obtain a copy of With Poet and Player, published in 1891.
Frank Edward born Aug 28 1857 died 1857 Glasgow
Alexandrina Amy born Nov30, 1861 Glasgow

I have a copy of John and Elizabeth's marriage registration, but that does not give a place of birth for John.

I also know that John was a teacher of Languages, one being German.

Does this help?
