The London Metropolitan Archives have produced an interesting leaflet called "The German Community in London"

go to Google and search for:
"London metropolitan archives german immigrants"

Should be at top of list.

Hi "Jeelyjar" thanks for the response, my wife is from Greenock but now lives in England I have p. m, ed you, look forward to exchanging info, her late father knew very little about his German past, he was born in 1914 and experienced first hand the negative attitude to German nationals after WW1

i dont suppose amongst all this anyone has come up with the linssner name have they? my grandfather came from germany we think in the 2nd world war and all i can find is his naturalization which was a ;ong time after he arrived here

Hi Irene,

There's a spelling error in this name:

"Otto Reinhold Haus Hermann"

"Haus" should be "Klaus" which is the equivalent of 'Charles'.

The names "Otto and Reinhold" are the names 'donated' by the godparents  (who may have been grandparents or other family) - the man's name was actually 'Charles Hermann'.
I don't know if you've looked in the nationalarchive catalogue for naturalisation papers but Charles may not have applied for naturalisation because he was automatically a British Subject as soon as he married an UK bride.
Good luck,
Rena in Lancashire

Hello all hopefully someone will read this.
i just came across this site on a google search for my distant relatives "schilps in greenock" and couldn't believe there are relatives of johann and christina schilp on the site and people who have some research information on them as well - unbelievable! I am related through their daughter Anna Schilp.
I dont have much information on the family apart from the census detail. So any contact or anything that can help me trace them further would be a great help.

Verdi

Hello,
