Like softly, softly I went out for the day yesterday and come back online to find all this information. I can only say Wow! Thank you all SO much for your time and knowledge in tracking down the Mason family. Just fantastic!

softly, softly: no, just looking into the family post 1891. The only info I have so far is Primrose dying in Lewisham in 1923.

Thank you softly, softly and Milliepede, that makes sense now!!

Alfred Mason b. 1863 Bishopsgate, London.
Father Thomas Mason (tailor)
Mother Dorothea Mason (nee Taylor).

In 1881 census Alfred is living with his widowed mother and siblings Jessie and Thomas in Bishopsgate. His occupation is blacksmith.

In 1891 he is still in Bishopsgate, now married to Mary. His occupation is now porter. (confusingly there is another Alfred Mason on 1891 census, b. 1862 Bethnal Green, living in Camberwell, wife also Mary, and his occupation is a journeyman smith. However, he is recorded in 1881 to parents John and Sarah).
I can't find the record of marriage for Alfred Mason (b. 1862 Bishopsgate) and Mary (maiden name unknown). It should be between 1881 and 1891. Can anyone help?
Many thanks.

I am trying to find details of the family of Heinrich Jakob Johann Mammen. His name appears on the WWI memorial in the churchyard of the St. Mary's church in Buttforde, Lower Saxony (now East Fresia).

The memorial and burial record say he died 16 Feb 1916, age 37 (b. abt. 1879) at the hospital on Heligoland. I can find no record of his birth in Buttforde, but presume he came from one of the surrounding villages/towns and was resident in Buttforde when he died. The Mammen name was certainly common in that area.

Can anyone help with information on his family?

Many thanks.
