Whilhemina Reeves 1875

[Macj99]

Hello, not sure if anyone can help with this-one of my family was born in Cologne, North Rhine, Westphalia, Germany 28th May 1875 called Whilhemina Reeves. Her father was Henry Joseph Reeves (1845-1908) who lived in London area. My 2 x great grandparents looked after her when she was little. I have census records, marriage etc when in the UK - But I have been trying to find a birth document that gives the mothers name. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where I may find this information. Many thanks

Is she the Wilhelmina living with grandparents Benjamin and Caroline Reeves in Tunbridge, Kent in 1881 

ADDED What was her fathers occupation

[Ashtone]

1871 census - Henry & Emily Reeves lodging at New Quebec Street in Marylebone. He appears to be the son of Benjamin and Caroline Reeves (see 1881 census w/ Wilhelmina). Occupation: Groom.

Do we have marriage details for Henry and Emily? Or know why he was in Germany a few years later?
Not seeing Henry Reeves in the 1881 to 1901 census.

Is this fellow Whilhemina's brother? There's an Alfred George Reeves in the 1901 and 1921 census.
Also, the 1939 Register. Born c1873 in Cologne. Occupation: Groom (later Gardener).
He died in Market Harborough in 1954.

Thank you all for info. Whilemina married Arthur who was the son of William Reeves- William was Henry Joseph’s brother.     
Henry Joseph married Emily and had children with her,   I do not think Emily was Whileminas mother as Whilemina stayed with her grandparents.
I do not know why Henry was in Germany - I did think possibly military but could not find anything

Henry Joseph married Emily and had children with her,   I do not think Emily was Whileminas mother as Whilemina stayed with her grandparents.

Who were Henry and Emily's two children?

Also, do you have Henry (and family) in the 1881-1901 census records? Where did he die in 1908?

Any thoughts on Alfred George Reeves (also born in Cologne)?

Possibility that Henry may have been working as a coachman in Germany, particularly if his employer was living in Cologne at the time.

I'm not seeing any Overseas birth registrations in Germany for children named Reeves in the 1870s.
