Dear All
Many thanks for replies to Otterstedt query.
I am almost certain that my Otterstedt family didnt leave England 1891-1901
for the US
I cant find any matching at all on any passenger lists to US
So possibly went back to Germany
How can you find naturalisation certificates for period 1872-1881 and
passenger lists going from England to Germany
The lecture Migration of the Sugar Makers seems very interesting
Were these German migrants originally sugar makers in Germany and carried on
trade once in England.
Or were they so unfortunate to as to arrive in London and find nothing
better.
Is Otterstedt a jewish or Catholic name. Mine were living in a predominantly
jewish area of St Georges Whitechapel and other lodgers in the household
seemed to be Jewish as well. Was wondering as all known offspring are quite fair
in comparison!!
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Best wishes Helen in Lancashire
