German Pork Butchers in Britain

[Histres]

There is a marriage on FreeBMD;

Frederick Roger and Sofie Weber
Bradford 1893 Jun Qtr

Hello SwissGill,
Does 1893 Jun Qtr mean "the 4th of June in 1893"?
Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Hi SwissGill & Histres,

Many thanks for the information. This confirms that Frederick Rogers married Sophia Weber. I was never 100% sure just guesswork on my part because of both individuals deaths. It also confirms that Frederick is a brother of Karl Frederick Ernst. Will search for the 3 remaing children now.
Thanks to you both.

Hello Histres

1893 June quarter is April, May, June

A copy of the marriage certificate would be conclusive. The Rögers changed their names from Roger to Rogers to Rodgers and Frederick C and Sofie moved around quite a lot. I was about to give up searching when I stumbled across the birth of Maud in Biddulph, Staffs!!

Hi Histres

Only just noticed your  discoveries relating to Freidrick Beyer/Katherine Koberer family.  Many thanks for this. I will send you my PM.
Thankyou

Hello Southyorkie,

Before I send you the scans of the Kocherstetten archive entries, it is important to know if you can read the documents in their original German language. If not, I should try to translate them into English.
It's the same with the Kocherstetten list of pork butchers. It's also written in German.
What would you suggest?

Kind regards
Histres

hello, new to this site, its been fascinating as i have discovered that my ancestors were pork butchers, in Hull, in 1881.  Wittmann.  now I am pretty sure I know where they come from and why Matilda Wittmann's sister, Rose Steinbach, my great grandmother, might have ended up in Otley, living next door to a pork butcher, but married to an Otley lad.  I guess its the pork butcher link!   she might have come over to stay with her sister? and they knew ppork butchers, friends in otley?
she then married into the Foster family, pork butchers in Hull when her first husband died.  David Myers in Otley.

Good morning vanny,

If you know where the Wittmanns and Steinbachs came from, it should be not too difficult to find their forefathers in the German archives. You've just got to tell me the village names, where they descendet from.

Best wishes

the pork butchers in Otley, that my great grandmother lived next door to, were the Weegmann's, the shop is still going strong.  I wonder if she came over, as suggested in that marvellous essay, to se her sister and got a job helping the Weegman's in Otley and then married the inn keeper next door?!
