World War Two / Re: Marriage British serviceman and German wife after WW2

Thanks CaroleW, that's definitely her. I remember visiting their house when I was a kid.

Liam59 - that's an outstanding link and very definitely Uncle Alan and Auntie Hildemarie.

Thanks so much to you both for your time and advice. Very much appreciated.

 :)

Hi Carole,

I didn't find anything on FindMyPast's British Armed Forces and Overseas Banns and Marriages index collection. There are a few Wisemans, and none of them were located in Germany.

FreeBMD.org have the following marriage in Dec 1946

Wiseman    Thomas A        Kalke    Chatham    5b   767

Ancestry has the following details. Hildemarie is a not a common name, and they lived in Northfleet, Gravesend eventually, so not too far from Chatham. Name changes - Hildemarie was born Domnick, but could have been married previously and Kalke is a German name. We knew her husband as Alan, so perhaps he is Thomas Alan.

I've ordered the marriage certificate from the GRO to check.

Hildemarie Kalke Dec qtr 1946
Chatham RD
Spouse    Thomas A Wiseman
Volume Number   5b
Page number   767

This is all a big mystery considering she was my Great Aunt and I actually met her.

I haven't and that's an excellent suggestion. Thanks very much, Ashtone.

Hi Carole,

I have and I've found one record with the correct first name and the wrong surname. I just wondered if there was anywhere else I could check before I paid for the marriage certificate.

I love your profile cat, btw. I had a rescue Persian once, who was very entertaining.

Thanks!

World War Two / Marriage British serviceman and German wife after WW2

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to locate information about the marriage of my German Great Aunt and British Great Uncle sometime after WW2. They may have married in the U.K, but also may have married in Germany. Are there any military records available for me to search?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Europe / Re: Translate old German script to English
« on: Saturday 09 March 24 17:17 GMT (UK)  »
I can't thank you enough, Zefiro!! I'd deciphered the meister part, but got completely stuck on the first bit.

Also interesting, because his son Friedrich Wilhelm Ewert married the daughter of a man who worked with the Feldpost on the railway.

Thank for you for helping me find another piece of the puzzle.

Europe / Translate old German script to English
« on: Saturday 09 March 24 15:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi fellow RootsChat folks,

Could anyone help translate a couple of words from my grandparent's wedding 'certificate' in their FamilienBuch?

I've managed to translate the rest of the page, but I'm completely stumped on a couple of words. I"ve tried various genealogical dictionaries as well as German dictionaries. It's even possible that these are East Prussian Dialect words. 

1. I can't work out my great grandfather Friedrich Wilhelm Ewert's profession, but I know that he was Evangelisch and born in Groẞbuchwald.
2. Anna Domnick, was born in Allenstein and Cathoic, but I'm not sure what the first word is.

If anyone has any clues, I'd be enormously grateful!

Thank you in advance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Deciphering an occupation from parish marriage record
« on: Sunday 14 May 23 14:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate a bit of help with the groom's father's occupation on this record. I read everything else except this. Could Henry Bridge have been a carver? Or perhaps a carner, but that doesn't look like an n before the er. I'm not sure what Henry would have been a carver of in 1867.

Screenshot are attached and here's the original Ancestry record. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/3139117:1623?_phsrc=bzW65&_phstart=successSource&gsfn=Phillip+&gsln=Bridge&ml_rpos=1&queryId=1e278ffd776d05d94409fbfc489ca6c2

I would really appreciate any ideas or advice that any one might have. Thank you!

The Common Room / Re: Burial register- father's name mystery

Another thanks.... I've just spotted Albert James Liddle - brother in law. I haven't been doing this very long so there are still lots of little eureka moments.  :D
