Dear Peter,
thank so so much for your reply, that's really exciting!
That is definitely my greatgrandmother's family, her name is simply misspelled.
I'd love to have any possible piece of information. I've been trying to find out more about this family for about 15 years now.
Best wishes, Carola

Cornwall / Re: Rule Family from Camborne

Hello everybody,

my name is Carola, I'm from Germany (so please excuse my humble English). I'm trying to find out about the family of my great-great-grandmother Helen Rule, born in Camborne/ Cornwall. Helen married my German great- great- grandfather in 1883 and moved with him to Germany. I have only very few information about the Rule family and would be very happy to find out there are still relatives anywhere!

So, here are the names and dates I can provide:

My great- great- grandmother, Helen Rule, was born in Camborne on 12.15.1863

as the daughter of William Henry Rule (* 01.18.1841, Camborne + 04.11.1917, Camborne)

and

Mary Jane Hocking/Hoking/ Hawkin??? (birth date unknown, died 06.13.1881, Blights Row, Redruth)

Helen had fou or five siblings: Minnie, Annie, Lily (probably nicknames) and Charles and Samuel.

My great- great- grandmother married my great- great- grandfather Johann Leonhardt Braunsberg on 08.30.1883 in Camborne/ Cornwall.

William Henry Rule is supposed to have been a wealthy businessman in the mining business, owning mines in South Africa, but it's possible that's just a legend.

I would be so thankful for any information about the family.
Thank you very much, Carola
