Prussia
« on: Wednesday 08 May 24 06:23 BST (UK) »
Hi

How easy is it to find records, birth registrations or marriage for those born or who were in Prussia before relocating to England.

I have a family Robert Battle and wife Hannah who had a few children in Prussia before relocating to Hull, Yorkshire.  Two of the children Emel/Amel?  Pole/Powell were born in Prussia and I wondered how easy it would be to locate their birth records and also the marriage record of Robert and Hannah as Im unsure on Hannah's surname.  They did have some children in Hull/Yorkshire but locating the records with a view to finding Hannah's maiden name has been difficult.

Are there any good sites where records such as birth and marriages that took place in Prussia can be researched?

Thanks

OK - Hannahs birth place on 1851 census is Poland - not Prussia
Robert is a Tailor aged 25 born Prussia
Pole Battle aged 2 born Prussia
and they have a son Cornelia Battle b 1850 aged 0 born Hull

...................no sign of Emel / Amel
maybe look for a marriage of Cornelia Battle and Pole Battle ???
...........................................
ADDED - Possible marriage of Robert and Hannas Grandaughter

Could these be a couple of births with variations of mum Hannah’s maiden name?:
BATTLE, JAMES
Mother’s maiden name: HOSKEY
GRO Reference: 1856 J Quarter in DONCASTER IN THE COUNTIES OF YORK AND NOTTINGHAM Volume 09C Page 455
(baptism: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:66B5-WNL2)
-
BATTLE, ALBERT
Mother’s maiden name: HOSKIN
GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in ECCLESALL BIERLOW Volume 09C Page 24

The family had moved to London by the 1871 census, but I’m wondering whether Pole/Powell stayed behind in Sheffield and started using the name Robert (like his dad).  E.g. this 1869 marriage to Alice Kirk: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6652-YL3T

If this is him, it would mean that he was born in Berlin and a tailor like his probable dad:
1881 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27Y-XY6C
1891 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7LKJ-KMM
etc

This Robert is the son of Senior Robert Battle born 1826

And yes, thats the variants of Hannah's surname I have found on the gro.  However, Im wondering if they have become anglicized as she was born in Poland or Russia
