Dear listers
I have eventually found my Johan Otterstedt b 1872/3 Hanover family. They are
in uk in 1881 under Otterstart. Wish people would transcribe properly as its
taken 5 years to even get that far,
So I now have
Heinrich Otterstedt b abt 1850 in Hanover naturalised sugar maker
Rachel Otterstedt b 1848 hanover naturalised
Johann Otterstedt b 1872 Hanover
heinrick b 1874 St george England
Diedrick 1880 st georgein the east
Catherine 1883
Marguerithe Otterstedt 1884 St george in the east
Diedrick 1885
They lived at 22 Christian Street on 81 and 91 although heinrick has a new
wife. Johan and heinrick junior not on 91,
Acording to sugar baker site
heinrick Otterstedt of Rotenburg . of Sottrum came to England 1875-1883
This would tie in as the address is 22 Christian St st george in the east
Also Johan Heinrick OTterstedt of Ottersburg at 11 Christian St 1861
so maybe relation??
The otterstedt (all except my gtgrandfather ) left england between 1891 -1901
probably around 1895. Is there any way of finding out to where , maybe back
to germany or us.
Is there any way of finding out when they were naturalised. I assume between
1872- 81 by the birth places of children and 81 census. Would the document
give me any additional info.
There is a slight link to noteriety with my Otterstedt
Their address on the 81 and 91 census is the same address given by a person
coming forward to the police in connection with the Elizabeth Stride jack the
ripper murder. Leon Goldstein was in the area of Strides murder at the time
and used the Christian St address. Possibly a relation of Goldstein, Rebecca
Goldstein was living with the Otterstedt in 1881
Also a major Sus[pect!! Maurice Kosminski moved to 22 Christian St in 1895
with his family. How can one find out peoples address for 1895?
Also anyone descending from the Otterstedt that were in England must have a
family tale to tell about the Ripper investigation. Unfortunately my
gtgrandfather died 1908 when grandfather was just 4 and there is no trace of any one
from the other Otterstedt in England now
Best wishes
