Sorry not to have replied sooner but a medical emergency in the family has kept me away from home.
 
According to the birth registration document, I have a copy, of Hermine was born in 1896 at the house of a midwife  in Cologne, who registered the birth to unmarried Rosa Schneider. In November 1911 Hermine travelled alone on the ship Eleonore Woermann disembarking at Madeira. On the shipping record she gives her home town as Mannheim, Baden.

She married in the Uk in 1922 and on the certificate her father is given as Herman Schneider deceased and I had hoped to find a record of the family in Mannheim in the years between her birth and her sailing.

She spent the rest of her life trying to hide her background from her family and everyone else here and after her death we found the document that she had applied to Germany for, to enable her to get a pension, with her parents names cut out.

I think I may be at a dead end with family line but come back to it periodically in the hope that something will turn up.

I would be grateful for any advice anyone can give me. Sharpie

Thank you both, I can see that now!
I wonder what value the coin was?

Thanks again. Abraham was my husbands 2x gr grandfather, James’ brother, who could ill afford the money. The story as we know is that James had originally been in partnership with Cunliffe Lister trying to find a way of using the waste threads from silk weaving. James had to pull out of the partnership when he ran out of money but continued to work for C L on the project and was eventually successful, inventing the loom that made velvet but all the recognition and financial rewards went to C L, leaving James very bitter! In later years James was recognised for the part he played.

Please could some kind person, help me find a death record for James Warburton in the
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,  area of Germany in 1877.   
I am hoping he is the ancestor of my husband who seems to have disappeared from Leeds after being found guilty of fraud. He could have returned there as he had previously lived, worked and committed his crime there but was  tried in this country as it was a British company.  His wife name was Amelie.
Many thanks, Jan

I am trying to find the location of Pickerills Lane, Aldridge. I believe it was in the Stubbers Green area but can’t find it on any of the old maps.
