Village/Town of Hofra

I have been trying to find out information about one of my great-grandfathers, Heinrich Meyer. Accordingto information on his Australian marriage certificate [1863] he was born in Hanover about 1835-1837 at the village/town of Hofra . I cannot find this place on my road atlas of Germany and I have been told it may only be found on an old map. These are usually found in large libraries. Can you offer any help or advice ?

Thank you

Hello Colin,

I think a place Hofra does not exist. Perhaps that shall be Hoya, about 60 km north-west of the city of Hannover and about 35 km south-east of the city of Bremen. At that time it was part of the kingdom of Hannover.

Hi Colin,

       You shouldn't have grandfathers with such common names! Anyway, for
what it's worth - There are a few Meyers that live in Höfer today. I'm
presuming that Uwe is right with the name of the town - instead of Hofra.

Did Heinrich Meyer have a middle name or two? That may help locating him.
