Hi,
Would really appreciate any help with this search.
I am tracing my G.G Grandfather Karl (Charles / Carl) Kaiser.
UK Census information from 1871 - 1911 indicates he was born in 1855 in Baden, Germany. I managed to trace grand children of Karl who from memory believe he originated from Waldshut although I have never been able to confirm this.
He married Eliza Howell in 1883 and they had 4 girls Kathleen May, Caroline Minnie, Marie Theresa & Elsie Dorothy living the majority their lives in Rotherhithe, London - his marriage certificate states his fathers name was also Karl Kaiser occupation Farmer
Karl by trade was a watchmaker / jeweller and had a shop in Union Rd, Rotherhithe
He never naturalised into the UK and wasn't interned during WWI due to age and length of stay in the UK.
On the 1871 Census he is staying with a Wilhelm Kaiser who appears to be his uncle - Wilhelm also is described as being from Baden and didn't naturalise into the UK. Wilhelm also married whilst in the UK - fathers name on the certificate is Kasper Kaiser (in theory this should be Karl's grandfather)
After Karl's death Eliza re-naturalised back into the UK however there is no information on Karl's family within the file.
Not sure where to go next - any help would be appreciated?!
Many Thanks
Mat
