Europe / Re: Re: German Pork Butchers in Britain
« on: Tuesday 07 March 17 11:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Anna,
I come from Chesterfield where my German pork butcher ancestor lived.  In searching through Chesterfield Census data came across the following pork butchers.
Krammer, Augusta
Kraut, George William
Studer, Frederick
Baum, Thomas
Boam, Christopher
Chevin, John
I see Kraut is one of your names.  Try putting a search on each census from 1851 onwards with place of birth, Germany.  Don't use Wuerttemberg to begin with because the recorded spelling 'beggars belief' the enumerators wrote down what they heard!  With the place they lived as Yorkshire or Derbyshire you should get a short list of all those born in Germany.

Hope this helps

Wonderful!  I have recipes that I know by proportions.  They are ones from my mother and grandmother.  I look forward to receiving yours.  The more the merrier.

'The Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Advertiser', available online, has advertisements for the Haags shops in Chesterfield and reports of the Pork Butchers' Association Annual Meetings.

Thank you Gisela for such a prompt and helpful reply.  I have taken up your suggestion of writing to Stadtarchiv Mannheim.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Johann Heinrich Grandt, pork butcher
« on: Wednesday 13 April 11 21:01 BST (UK)  »
My great great grandfather emigrated from Wuerttemberg to Derby, England sometime between 1851 and 1857.  He was born in Mannheim in about 1833.  When he arrived in England he used the name Henry Grant, married a Martha Thompson in 1857  and opened a pork butcher shop in Moreledge, Derby.  In 1860's they moved to Chesterfield.

I have read the publications on pork butchers in England and have tried to find naturalisation certificates from TNA with out success.  I plan to visit Wuerttemberg in May this year.  Can anyone suggest any further avenues of research?
