Europe / Re: German Pork Butchers in Britain

Thanks Gill I had spotted the will and was guessing that Annie was Kate's sister but you have pulled a lot more connections from it.
I am researching Kate as she built had the house I now live in built in 1898 after Louis had died.
In their early life in Widnes they had a servant living with them called Pauline Haas also from Wurttemburg (just got correction through on Find my Past they had miss-transcribed as Haws) Pauline appears next on  1901 census as a house maid to Marion Pehrson 22 Riversdale Rd Nether Hallam Sheffield, looks as if there were lots of connections between the German families in Widnes and Sheffield.
I will look out my copy of the obituary but as I remember there were no other German names on it but I could be wrong.
Thanks

Today I had to pt in a note on my own marriage record on Ancestory as I nearly did not find it as they had it in Malton Yorkshire instead of Halton Cheshire, 5 other family marriages in Halton were also mis trancribed as Malton.
I have also done a lot of corrections for poor trancriptions on Find my past this week and they are very quick to check comments and get back to you the corrections can take up to 90 days according to their e mail.

Hi folks
Can I jump into the thread to ask if anyone knows anything about Louis Most and his wife Kate who were German Pork butchers in Widnes, they are on 1891 census with Louis aged 28 they both came from Wurttemburg.

I see from Swissgill that she has a family member called Louis Pfisterer who also ran German pork butchers in Widnes, I wonder if they are related or if Louis Most was related to the Yorkshire Mosts who are also Pork butchers.

Louis died young of a strangulated bowel caused by lifting a new sausage machine there is a very detailed obituary for him in the local paper, they had lost both their children in the years before, Kate continued to run the shop but as far as I can find did not remarry.
