Don,t know if I have sent this but he was born in 1856.
Sorry

Franz was born in Helbra Saxony Germany in 1854, died 1924 in England.He lived at 544 Tottenham high road and was a furrier by trade, married Emily Harper 1878.
Is it possible to find out anything about him before he came to England?.Family rumour has it that he was descended from the well known Hilliger bell and gun makers in Germany.
Thank you

Good evening. I am new to this family history search and am just dabbling at the moment .Your service has been highly recommended to me.
I had a great uncle named James Mckie who apparently was a bit of a character who I would like to know more about.
All I know at the moment about him is he was born 24/06/1882 (I think), his mothers name was ellen mccoy, he had a brother called Thomas,he lived in keighley and bingley,was a public works labourer in 1939 and lived at 12 borough lodging house and died around 1955 and joined the army in 1914.Hope you can help but if not no problem.
Thank You

My grandfathers name was Thomas Mckie born in Bingley West yorkshire in about 1890, died 1947.Ellen Mccoys husband in Ireland was Thomas Mccoy born1847.The name seems to have changed for some reason to Mckie around when my grandfather was born.I half suspect she might have left her husband in Ireland as what I have found is that when my grandfather was born in Bingley west yorkshire it said his father was unknown.There was also a brother of my grandfather called James Mckie born 1883.
Even if you do not find anything I would like to thank you for you efforts so far.
Thank You very much
