Pelzer

[softly softly]

I am looking for confirmation re the following births if possible please.
1 Annie E Pelzer c 1885/6 Dundee
2 Henry Francis Pelzer c1886/7 Dundee
3 William Pelzer c 1898 glasgow
4 Victoria Roberta Pelzer c 1900 Glasgow
5 Irving Edward Pelzer c 1906 Aberdeen.

The parents for all these children should be (Peter) Joseph Pelzer and Catherine Ann Brown (kate) What would be a huge bonus is the occupation if recorded of the father.

Any clues would be great.

Thanks

John

You need to use Scotlands People to get that info or look for them on the various censuses to determine their parentage.  Looking at the 1901 seems to confirm that parents are Josef and Catherine but there is also a Violet b 1894 England & Grace b 1890 England

Josef is shown as a musical director

It would appear that young Arnold died in infancy

PELZER ARNOLD ERNEST E, 3, died 1898, Ref 644/9 547, District Kelvin

This is also available on Scotlands people.

I wonder whether John is perhaps exploring a hypothesis that Josef/Joseph Pelzer is the same person as Joseph Andre?

John, have you already found relevant records for the English-born children?

By looking at the indices only (free to view), I can tell you that in 1901 the family were in Blythswood, Lanark. From the 1905 valuation rolls, Josef Pelzer was the tenant/occupier of 17 Elm Place, Aberdeen. Hope this helps
