Hi everybody.
Thank you to all who helped with the whereabouts of the places I was looking for.

I wonder if anyone out there has any information about my ancestors.

My great, great grandfather was was Louis (Ludwig) MEINECKE. He was born 1831 in Andreasburg (I think), Hannover. His wife was Beta, born 1832 in Bremen. Their daughter, Johanne Louise Gesine Meinecke, was also born in Bremen in 1855.
They were living in Hull, Yorkshire, England from 1871.

I would love to find out more about Ludwig Meinecke and family.
Are there such things as a German census, or where could I find a marriage or birth certificate?
I am obviously new to this. Any help would be grayefully received

Hello,

     You may find these "Ortsfamilienbucher" interesting. There are several
Meinecke (and variations thereof) if you look at the lists in and around
Bremen:

   Is the Andreasburg you mentioned the town called St. Andreasberg in the
Harz mountains?
