I am trying to trace the parents and origins of my grandfather, August Emil
Karl Johannes ZANDER. According to his marriage certificate he was born in
about 1870-1872, and was the son of Johann Christian ZANDER. Father and son
were both glassblowers.
August ZANDER (also known as Karl) married:
1) Franziska BURGER, who died in the German Hospital, London, U.K. in June
1914
2) Adele Marie HEDEMANN (my grandmother)
August Zander came to the U.K. in about 1910. In 1916 he was interned as an
enemy alien, and died in the German Hospital in London in 1919, leaving 3
small daughters.
He was a Lutheran, and in the German Lutheran church records he is referred
to as a glassblower, of Oldenburg.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
