Johann August Hattorf(f) Sergeant in the KGL

Dear Terry

I don't know if they have all files in Hannover, but i can not imagine that
they have devided the files of the Regiment into Hannover and England and
Hessen, so if they have the files of the regiment you should find the datas of
all men. I was not in the archive, but they must have lists what is available.

But if they have the same files than in England, how could it happen that
they have different places of birth in Hannover and in England in their lists.
Looks like this are different files.

Another problem: It looks like that in the marriage records in England the
name of the father is not named. Usually you see in Germany the name of the
father sometimes the name of the father of the bride too.

So i can't find the father of Johann August cause i dont have his correct
birthplace and he is not named in the marriage record.

Next problem: His firstborn son was probably Friedrich August Hattorff. He
was going to NY in about 1842/43 i still try to find him in the shiplist. I
found a hint at ancestry.com that a certain Friedrich August Hattorff married
1844 in Memsen/Hoya in the Kingdom of Hannover. What is definitively not
possible, cause he is still in the 1843 city directory of New York.

Frederick A. Hattorf (how he calls himself in the USA) is buried on
Hollywood Cemetery in VA, under the name Hattoff, born in Oxbridge England. What is
nonsens so i think its Uxbridge i think i have seen a record about a regiment
of the KGL which was in Uxbridge. And i think that his mother Susannah Brookes
was the daughter of a british officer of the KGL.

So what do i finally need:
The place of birth of Johann August Hattorff
The place of birth of his son Friedrich August Hattorf probably
Uxbridge/England about 1818
The marriage of Frederick A. Hattorf (not found in Memsen/Hoya) probably in
New York

Do you know if there are micorfiches about the births in Uxbridge for
example at the LDS-church?

Hello,

There are also Hattorfs of Achim listed here:
http://www.hist.de/edition-hist(e).html

You can order 1852 census booklets for Achim at that site which would cover
the Hattorfs there. Of course, it is possible that this wouldn't be helpful
to you at all. A search on the LDS site with the name Hattorf(and nothing
else) shows a lot of them in several places in Hannover.

A search on here http://meta.genealogy.net/metasuche/index.jsp
    for Hattorf shows several in Osterode (Harz) and Duderstadt and other
places. And a search for Hattorff yields a few more.

    I think you may have done all this research already, but I just thought
I'd see what I could find.
