Cassel prior to Naturalisation in 1947
« on: Friday 01 December 23 11:03 GMT (UK) »
In 1947 the schoolboy known as Peter Cassel, Germany, swore the oath of allegiance, reported in the London Gazette.  He was preparing to go to secondary school in Portsmouth in 1943 and living in Northamptonshire in 1939.  Birth 8th August 1931.  His alternate name was quoted as Gert Oscar Jann Cassel.
I have not got any marriage certificates for name of father.

Can anyone suggest any possible births for him, in Germany or in countries around there, possibly as Kassel etc I would assume.

Thank-you

Appears to have married twice - 1954 & 1984 but there doesn’t appear to be any children to either marriage

He may, indeed. I was looking to see if anyone knew about birth records from Germany etc

Now this looks very interesting, thanks for making me look again:

look for Peter or Gert

Added: It neatly ties in with Romsey - I knew he was there but could not understand why he was in Northampton at first, just thought random travel.

I was just about to send you that! ;D

It gives his parents' names (Arthur & Hertha Cassel).

Such a sad story...  :'(

Yes.

I had tried google searches in the past, whether just put in slightly wrong words or this got bumped to the top of the search results....
