The only mention of that surname I can find on Ancestry between 1870 and 1875 is for a Charles Schact living in Lincolnshire.

Is this one his uncle?

Births Dec 1899
Schacht Albert John Bethnal G. 1c 216

Could he have been bought up by other people.If his parents had died there was no legal adoptions then but perhaps someone else bought him up and changed his name?Just a thought Annie

Is this the family related to Albert?

There is an Ernest Schact c1871 on the 1901 census and in 1891 he is named Ernest A, perhaps the A stood for Albert.

His military records could be wrong.

My grandfather's army record says he was born in Co. Durham (which is where he grew up), but he was actually born in London.

My father's army record has his year of birth wrong, because he lied and made himself look older to get into the army.

This is the birth of Ernst (Ernest):-

Name: Ernst August Schacht
Year of Registration: 1870
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: London City
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex
Volume: 1c
Page: 53

Maybe when he joined the army he wanted to Anglicise his name and chose Albert.

Kath. x

yes his name was albert schacht.

thanks everyone for your help.sorry ozbird but no they are not my relatives.kathleen no they're not mine either thanks for the information about biths not being compulsary until 1875. thanks for all your help anyway.sorry its took so long to get back to you all. i'm hitting my head against a brick wall

Exactly what information do you have from his military records?

Schacht is not a very common name at that time & for both men to be born in Poplar there's a possibility they're related somewhere down the line.

hi ozbird i have quite a bit of his army record he joined in1886 at the age of 14 then it tells you where he was born later it tells when and where he was married then the chidren he had and when he moved to army quarters i know i have the right albert schacht because of my dad and his brothers and sisters although some of them i don't remember

Where were your father & his siblings born?

Have you checked their birth indexes?

Ozi.

Hi,
Dont know if this is of any help but in 1881 Edward Schacht c 1870 and his brother Albert c 1872 both born in Poplar, were in the Forest Gate District School West Ham, this was a barrack school as well as a workhouse, it may be his parents were dead or they were all in the workhouse at that time and the boys put into the schools, they are both said to be scolars, but this was a school that had bands and a lot of the boys became bandsmen with which tie up with his profession on his papers.

So this is your grandfather & family in 1911.

I agree with Joan on the 1901 census for the Schacht boys.

Do you have your grandfather's marriage cert? If so what was his father's name?

I know you'll have most of this info but it helps us work backwards.

Albert's eldest on 1911.
