GERMANY Help with Karl Fredrik Reiner c1804

[Jeffrey]

Does anyone know how I can get more information on the baptism, parents or family of Karl Frederik Reiner who says he was born in Mannheim, Germany in or around 1804?

I have found him in England when he marries Sarah Elizabeth Wickes at Thames Ditton in 1830. He had changed his name to Charles Frederick Reiner.
From then on I have found him in Census's from 1841 until he dies in 1884.

On the Census's he says he is from Baden Germany.

I know nothing about German records so any help gratefully received.

Thank you

Judy

Dear Hillhurst,

Thank you so  much for that. That birth/baptism would seem to fit in.

Are you by any chance able to let me know if he has siblings?

Much appreciated

Sorry, no I didn't see any records for siblings, nor a marriage for his parents. However, I only searched for a few minutes, concentrating on Baden.

Which source of yours indicates he changed his name from Karl to Charles? Just curious...

[Ashtone]

Another question: Would his father have been a teacher, as well?

[Jeffrey]

The sources is Census's and Nationalisation Records.

I am researching for a friend and they have been looking for ages but the Nationalisation Records clinched it.
And family recall.

How do you know his father was a teacher?

How do you know his father was a teacher?

Actually I asked you if his father was also a teacher. I wouldn't know, you see.

If your friend doesn't have an Ancestry subscription, perhaps they could use the Family Search site, which is free. FS has some German record sets.

[Jeffrey]

  I don't know if his father was a teacher.

I have looked on the Family Search site but haven't got anything that helped. I find the search is much more difficult since they changed it.

Thank you again for the suggestion. I will go back to the FS site and see if there is anything I have missed.

I'm not a fan of the new FS searching interface either. I'll have a bit more time this weekend to search Ancestry for any additional Reiner records. I asked if his father was also a Teacher, in case it helps narrow down possible father leads. Who knows...teaching may have been the family profession.

I've checked Ancestry's England, Alien Arrivals, 1810-1811, 1826-1869 collection, but nothing jumped out at me. Unless he entered the UK prior to 1826 and/or used a slightly different name.

Do the Nationalisation documents indicate what year he entered the UK? Do they mention any family names back in Germany? Any little detail will help, you see.
