Many thanks , this is very helpful and I will start my search from Steinfurt. (when I find it on the map !)

Can I ask where you found this information, is it public access,  just in case I need to dip back into the information you have provided.

best regards

thanks for the reply, the name Garrard was shown on an english 1895 marraige certificate of Gottfried. I have assumed that Gottfried came over at some time prior to that from Germany. No idea if with any family or not. Not sure if Garrard is a germanic name, Gottfried certainly droped the Max on some documents and also used the name George.

regards

Europe / Gottfried Kipp

Hi,

Trying to trace back from a Gottried Max KIPP ( also used the name George) born 1863/5 - died 1904 . shown on the 1901 census as being born Germany
(british subject)  He was a ladys tailor living in Heddon Street, London.

His father was a Garrard KIPP a pianoforte maker

Gottfried is shown in BMD but nothing on the father so assumed he was still in Germany - is there anywhere showing entry for german nationals entering UK prior to 1901 or any idea how to start enquiries in Germany.

Not sure how to do a PM but have seen I need to send a few more messages so may take some time to get hold of you.
I am not related to the Ward family but as you will guess am writng a Masonic history which involves Victors Lodge - he of course gets a mention along with the others from the regiment who founded the lodge in those early days, adding his date of birth and death adds substance of course and I would love to add his photo. I will hopefully post a couple of other messages to see if rootschat can help with with other bits of research and this will hopefully enable me to send you e PM

many thanks

Am new to rootschat - I joined as I found your old postings on Victor and was pleased to see the information - I can tell you he was in the Royal Welch Fusiliers in Agra in 1907 ( sergeant). In 1910 he was in Shwebo in Burma which fits in with the information you have. Did you say you had some photographs of Shwebo from that time would love to see them

I am keen to find a photo of him if anyone has one and if there any living relatives would like to make contact.

Victor was a freemason and was the first joining member of Lodge Ormond -Iles 3343 which had just been founded in Shewbo.
