Hi,

Firstly, are you sure he was Dutch, rather than German?

The only way to find the children is to 'trawl' page by page through the Bmd - either on Ancestry, or some other site like 'Find my past'

Do you have a subscription to any of these sites?

Without a doubt - Ancestry !!

I use others alongside this but would not be without it!

All Census + all Bmd (althought I like to have family relatives site too as it is more user friendly) + much more. - In my opinion - Find my past is not such good value !!

Ancestry is the one ! - approx £70 per year but well worth it. - I joined via .com site rather than .uk and I only pay about £58 - I don't know if this still works.?

Anyway, have your free trial - you will find a lot !!

I will look into the prices as that sounds quite expensive !! - I still wouldn't be without it though (personally), nomatter what the price!.

If you decide you want to subscribe to Ancestry after the free trial - give them a ring and ask them to reduce the price - this is what I did some time ago and it did work

I think (although at whatever the price, I still think it is worth it), £95 is a bit 'steep' - other people are paying much less !
