I am trying to trace the family of my
great-grandfather GERHARD (GERD) FEHNERS born 1844 in
OLDENBURG. His father was named BEREND and was a
farmer. Gerhard (Gerd) was a seaman and came to
England where he met and married my great-grandmother.
Little else is known except that he was killed in an
explosion at sea in 1881.
If anyone has any information of either of the above I
would be very grateful.
