I thought I'd add another marriage involving a Bosshardt. This one took place at Hampstead in 1912.
In the 1911 Census, Walter Bosshardt lived with the John Payne family and in 1912 married a widowed daughter of John Payne. Family lore reports that after marrying Walter Bosshardt, Isabel Payne Gadsden and her daughter, Isabel Gadsden, moved to Switzerland. Isabel reportedly had a lingerie shop on the shores of Lake Geneva. During World War I it became apparent that Walter Bosshardt sympathized with the Kaiser. The Red Cross (or some such organization) arranged for the two Isabels to travel to the United States where they stayed with E. B. Parker of The Oaks in Houston, Texas. E. B. Parker was the umpire of the United States-Germany Mixed Claims Commission [reparations] following WWI.
