Thanks everyone for your help

I will get into contact with my extended family member who has the marriage cert. If I can't get into contact with them then I will order it from gro. It will help to give more details ... If I can verify the occupation then Carl Franz looks like a possibility.

The Charles Busch might be a likely candidate as his original surname was either Bosec or Busec and Busch is kind of similar in spelling. The name Carl could also be easily changed to Charles to sound more English  - so it could be either.

Charles Francis definately lived till at least 1930's as he was still alive when my grandfather was young. Which reminds me - I could order his death cert too for more info.

My grandad (Maud's son) is still alive and said that Charles married and Irish woman but that is handed down family history. Maud did have 6 children and the family later moved to Cumbria.

That looks like it could be them doesn't it !


- Maud born Clapton (Hackney) 1896
- Baptised Maud Alice
- Father Carl from Prague - but not an engineer
- a brother Charles

I found a marriage on ancestry.com for a Charles Fredrick Boseck to Anna Parsch in Edmonton 1877.

It states underneath the address that they or one of them are from Haida, Bohemia

It might be a bit before his time but the name and place matches. I've looked for these two 1881 census but can't seem to find them yet.

Hi RebeccaNZ,
ShaunOst's reply was in 2011 and they haven't been on Rootschat since then.

Also there email may not be the same since then and he wouldnt know you have replied.
The reason that you cant PM him is that he only made 1 posting so it has not been activated.
