Henry Hoopman-Laray (Waterman)
« on: Thursday 10 December 20 02:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm a great grandson of Henry, and am joining a number of previous enquirers concerning his German ancestry.
I have recently received documents and photos which through light on his & his wifes ( Elizabeth Mills) early days, before his premature death as a Bootle fireman.
Over the years crosboy36, hostile17, Suzard, garlie0206, & nikearl have been seeking info., & i would like to contact them, & others who wish to know more about this enigmatic man.
My grandmother was Amy Barbara Waterman.
Thanks, Crosab43

Hi. Henry has been quite well documented from his marriage, to accidental death. I have his marriage certificate, family "remarks" details of his death, death of his 16 year old son Harry, & "Family Register" of his  & wife Elizabeth's birth details etc.
His details have been a mystery before he arrived in UK and changed his name, but register states he was born in Hamburg, Germany  on 17th oct 1854.
The place of birth wasn't known by previous tracers, so hard to trace back to his German roots. This may now be possible.
I also have details, & photos of Elizabeth, & 4 daughters, which may be of interest to previous tracers.
Cheers.
