Immigrants & Emigrants - General / German Passenger lists - help !
« on: Wednesday 14 March 12 17:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
My great grandfather was born in Rotthenburg - Germany abt. 1856, and came to the UK some time before 1885, when he married my grt grandmother in London. I have searched the incoming passenger lists  but have had no luck tracing him - or his brother who travelled with him. Wondered if anyone could help/suggest anything else...could they have come to the UK via any other means do you think ?
Names are Gotthardt Max Nauer  and Karl Theodore Nauer..I would imagine it would have been around 1880 ish ?
Any help would be greatfully received.
Thanks,
Soozie :o)

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: John Henry Nuttall, Blackburn weaver

Hi Swish, thanks so much for your reply..sorry I can't Private Message you yet because I havn't done 3 postings on the forum yet  ! ?  Anyway I wondered how much info you had about John Henry Nuttall ?  He has been the bane of my life !! in research terms. I was thrilled to find him when the 1911 census was opened in the UK last year , but that led to confusion, with the Starkie connection - and the children Elsie ( your gran ) and John Vincent.
As they had the name Nuttall on their Birth certs, and as the amendment was made many years later - does this mean that they were actually John Henry Nuttalls children, therefore my nans half siblings for sure  ?  We have no photo's of John Henry Nuttall, although I have a wedding photo which I am sure shows my Gt Gran Alice Smith standing next to a man who MAY be J.H ? We have no idea whos wedding it was. I don't suppose you have any pictures of him ?
We now also realise that if he and Alice never divorced - she re-married BIGAMOUSLY!! in 1918, to a policeman !!  The wedding cert says shes a widow...but I have always had my doubts !! There are so many J H Nuttall deaths, it is almost impossible to narrow down, unless you have any more info ?

Hi, Sorry this seems a delayed answer to your posting, but I have only just seen your thread, and
have just been amazed to see this posting ...
My great Grandfather was John Henry Nuttall..
Weaver from Blackburn !!
He was originally married to my great Grandmother  Alice Sarah Martha Smith ( Tottenham, London )..they had my Nan Florence and her brother Wilfred in Barnoldswick, Lancs.
At some point, Alice ran away with the 2 children, back to her family in London.
I then found John Henry on the 1911 Census as a 'Lodger' with Elizabeth Starkie. I noticed that the 2 children  had the name "Nuttall-Starkie" -  put 2 & 2 together and came up with 10 !! LOL....
I sent off for the birth cert. for the little girl called Elsie b. 11 Mar 1908...it says her name is Elsie Nuttall..Father John William Starkie...Mother Elizabeth Starkie , formerly Sharples.   
In the right hand column, a statement has been typed..
"  In column 4 ( fathers name ) OMIT John William Starkie, and in column 6 ( Fathers occupation ) OMIT Cotton Weaver...Corrected 23rd December 1938 by me, James Hornby, Supt. Registrar on production of statutory declarations by John William and Elizabeth Starkie.

Would love to talk more about all this !    :)
