Europe / Re: GERMANY: Immigrants to East End from Germany
« on: Monday 19 June 06 16:50 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am new to this forum, but I was intrigued by your post. I have the name Tewes in my wife's ancestry but the name is a surname, not a first name. Our family member is Joseph Tewes (born 1850, Germany) who turns up in the East End of London around 1870 - Interestingly because of the differences in pronunciation (Tewes is pronounced 'Tevis' in German) the family were entered on one of the Census' as 'Davis'
