German Pork Butchers in Britain

[johnbhoy]

Bethgem, I just noticed that you have a photo of your Grandfathers shop in your avatar, very Kool 

[Bethgem]

Thanks johnbhoy, it is a special photo, I'll say that!

Have you by any chance copied it to full size to see the details in it?

I have all the info on that side of my family. My Grandfather was the pork butcher and his family worked for him, but none of them carried on with the trade. Henceforth, I do not have any more reason to post here, but I keep it live for notifications and to read about other posters. You never know, something just might crop up to link my Grandfather to someone else on here.

Best wishes

Hi Bethgem

I had a look at it the other day, but couldn't blow it up to much due to the pixals, but it looked real good from what I could see. 
Maybe Histres would like to see it for his collection.

Hi johnbhoy,

I think Histres has already got it, but not exactly sure.

It was the second shop George Green had in that photo, at number 14 High Street, Congleton. They had moved from number 18 High Street. He took in live pigs for him to slaughter on the premises. Health 'n' Safety would not allow such things today!

Hi Bethgem and johnbhoy,

Yes, I have got a copy of the photo. It is a scan of real high resolution.
Bethgem, if you allow, I can send it to johnbhoy.

Best wishes

Hello all,wondering if anyone can help me as i completely new to all this.

I am trying to trace my family back and get stuck at 1861 as they origanted from Inglefingen in Germany. I can not seem to find any inforamtion on them,the whole family emmigrated, they even brought there servants. There profession was Pork Buchery and they carried that profession on when they settled in Warrington UK and Wigan.

The surname was changed from Mynkeyme to Marsden before World War I and this is all i know.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards K.J.Marsden
