Europe / Re: German Pork Butchers

Thank you all for your responses! 

Jules1066 you have a lot of details  :)  Thank you very much for sharing.  I'm currently based in the Alsace so not far from Baden-Wurttemburg.  Seems like the 1867 date of birth I had for him might be a little off...
Can I ask how you came across the info.?
Any tips for resources and research around Baden-Wurttemburg?

lizdb - nice tip for the wedding certificate...don't have a copy at the moment but will try to get hold of one  ;)

I'm very pleasantly surprised by the help from everyone! Thank you!


Best Regards
Garry

Europe / German Pork Butchers George Michael Weidner
« on: Thursday 12 May 16 18:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I'm totally new on here and hoping for some help researching my great great grandparents. Picking up the mantle from my grandfather...

My great great grandfather's name was George Michael Weidner and he was a German pork butcher that emigrated to the Manchester area somewhere between 1881 and 1891.  The info. I have so far is that he was born in Schwabisch Hall on 17th June 1867.
My great great grandmother was Christina Belschner, and I believe she originated from close to Schwabisch Hall.  They were married in Chorlton in 1891.

Does anybody have any tips on how to find out more about them and researching further back into their history?  I'd love to take the tree back as far as possible. 

If anybody has any info. or can help in any way it would be much appreciated!

Thank you
Garry
