Thank you for your reply!

The thread was very useful - lead me right to John Filing! My grandpa's right, there are not many Filings in the UK.

Much gratitude to those that have shared and are no longer here and those still sharing,

Hi!

i found this thread because I've been trying to find out about John Filing (who was my great great grandfather - So George Filing was my great Uncle too, naffi girl :) - my great grandfather was Sidney Filing). I doing this for my grandpa who is curious about his surname and is a ripe old age of 93. I live in Germany so he hopes i have all the answers ;) I want to thank everyone who shared the info here. I had found a lot of this stuff via ancestry, but hadn't been able to connect the dots! Would be happy to know more if anything else comes up.

With gratitude,

Zi

Hi Louise,

I wonder if you ever found anything about the German travelling musicians? I also have a great great grandfather born 1828 in what was then Prussia and was recorded as being a travelling musician. Name John (Johannes) Filing. Arrived and settled in Grantham, Lincolnshire. My cousin found that some of the sons went on to work at a travelling fair in England. I'd love to know more about the musicians.

Best,

Zi
