Hello Marion,
Henstedt in Hannover (at time) is a little village about 25 km south of Bremen and is now part of the town of Syke.
There exists also an other Henstedt (much larger) in Schleswig-Holstein (north of Hamburg).
Greetings

Hi Wilfried
Thank you for your reply and for writing in English! On the 1851 census the
place of birth was written as Hannover, Hendstet. Is there any way I can
tell which Hendstedt it could be? Would the emigration port most probably
have been Hambourg (or Bremen?) and are there any records of these
emigrations? I'm sorry to ask such a lot of questions but I would really
like to find out more about this family.
Thank you again.
Marion
