John Henry Siebert was my great great grandfather and Annie my great grandmother. We have an oil painting of John Henry and also family photographs of Annie and her relatives. Annie siebert married into the parsons family. John henry had a bakery and tea shop in Stoke Newington london in wich Annie his daughter worked and where she met her future husband. We still have the tea pot she served his tea in. Annie had two daughters Isabel and Dorothy but her husband tragically died in an accident when he was 28. Annie did not re marry.
Just before the WW1 there was anti german persecution and John Henry had bricks thrown through his shop window. He decided to up sticks with his children and leave for Austalia leaving only Carl Seibert and Annie (Parsons) behind. Annie was married and settled in East london (Leyton I believe) and Carl had carved himself a successful career as a concert singer , appearing at the crystal palace, we have a brochure of one of his performances somewhere.
Apparently John Henry became a very successful sheep farmer in Australia with his children. I am very interested to hear of any other news regarding the family. A
