Searching for Mary Lengurill

[Clarijo]

Hi Suzi!  I wonder whether you are aware of this link< http://www.merseysiderollofhonour.co.uk/obits/14/149172.php

In the meantime I will make further enquiries.

Hi Clarijo,

Many thanks for your information. Yes thank you, I am aware of Christian. Very sad story. I started searching for him after my mum found a letter addressed to his parents informing of his death. A few years ago I wrote to Liverpool town hall as I could not find Charles C Schwarze on any memorial in Liverpool. In January 2014 they kindly invited our family to a memorial service at the town hall and added Christian to their Roll of Honour in the hall of remembrance.
I'm looking for Christian's father and step brother Henry Schwarze (my mums grandfather, who was married to Ellen Stanton) I'm Trying to locate where they are buried, I have found Ellen in her fathers grave but sadly cannot find her husband Henry Schwarze. It's a mystery. Family tell me they may have separated.
regards,
Suzi

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late to the party! I am also a descendant of Mary's! Mary and Hugo Henry Schwarze are my great-great-great-grandparents. Their son Henry Schwarze married Ellen Stanton, they had a daughter called Mary who married Francis Lawton, and together they had a daughter Patricia, and Patricia was my paternal grandmother.
i have only just started putting together my family tree today, and this is the first time I've heard of the name Lengurill. So i decided to google the name as i'd never heard of it before, and i found this thread! Thanks for all the information so far! i also have Mary down as both Gibraltar and Ireland. Very confusing. I have connected to others through the Ancestry website tonight, and i think maybe a couple of you are in this thread too. Hello distant relatives!!!
if i find any new information i'll let you know. I'm going to go back through this thread tomorrow and look at the links that have been posted. Thank you so much!

Hi again. i have checked the spelling of this surname again. It looks like 'Lengurill' on the marriage certificate of Mary and Christian Fischer, but her father John's surname spelled 'Laughill' on the marriage certificate between Mary and Hugo Schwarze. I have also found another spelling of Lengurell. I'll keep going...............

[H C Schwarze]

Hi Nicola, sorry for the late posting, I haven't been on this thread or Ancestry for awhile. I do know that Frank Lawton was a Taxi Driver and Lived in Gilroy Road with Ellen and cared for Henry Charles Schwarze at this address, until Henry died there in 1931. I believe Frank died in his Taxi of a Heart attack, parked at the Gates outside Yew Tree Cemetery, and Ellen's demise was extremely tragic, falling from a window at Woodstock Gardens, in 1941. Ellen was known in the family as Nellie, and apparently was quite strict, and dressed in black most of the Time, as a lot of widows did in those days. Sorry this reply is a bit on the morbid side, Good Luck with the Family Tree.
