August Kraulodat & Anna Palogad married in this church on the 24th Jan 1875 according to their GRO marriage cert.
Both signed with an x, residence for both was 2 Homley St, Liverpool.
I read with interest another query from 2013 where someone else received some awesome help from another member about their family that the church register had and the marriage document didn't have.
I am hoping that there is a possibility that I might be able to find out more information from the church register about this couple. Where they came from etc. I note on the marriage certificate their parents names and occupations but we have literally nothing else to go on with where they actually came from.
August & Anna had a daughter (named Anna) sometime in 1876 (no birth registration has ever been found for her) and by July 13th 1876 they had set sail for New Zealand onboard the Orari where they settled and changed their name to Crowder.
Naturalisation for August "Crowder" in 1896 had no clues about their homeland other than to say they were Polish. Death certs in NZ have variations of their surnames and no place listed for their birth other than Poland.
The nearest DNA matches to the family (Anna's side) are by the name Pallokat and we think that this line are from a brother of Anna which emigrated to New York. This family has German origins.
If there is anyone out there who is able to look in the church register and tell me more that would be wonderful. It's also likely there may be a baptism for their daughter Anna also.
I am unable to visit in person as I'm in NZ.
Thank you
Jo
