Just discovered my gt.gt.gt uncle born and bred in London married a young lady called Evelina Teschelert. She appears not to have been born within in the surrounding area to dear old unc, but lived in Soho. I am surmising she and her family were immigrants who settled within Soho, working. Do any of you wise old birds out there have any idea what sort of trade prospered in Soho, and where this surname may have originated. I have hazard a guess on Germany, or maybe Austria. Any further ideas on how I may be able to trace this family would be greatly appreciated. I hope to hear from someone with any ideas. Best wishes.

can we have the name of your uncle whom she married please

He was Robert Edward Dolby b. 1871 Islington. 1901 working at the Schweppes Mineral Water factory in Hendon, London.

How did you find this out? Can't see a record of the marriage.

1881 - connection? was hoping to find her with Robert as a family and that would give her place of birth

The 1901 census gives her christian name, and I managed to find her surname on the freebmd. She is the only female with the same first name in the list of possible matches for R.E. Dolby.

Robert is still unmarried in 1901.

1881 Census correct. This is the same family.

Sorry, crossed posts!! Have I got the right Robert?
Jan

Oh dear, please forgive me, I have given the wrong information in my haste to get this thread down, and make sure I spell Teschelert correct. It is Roberts' brother JOSEPH EDWARD who is married to Evelina. Apologies all around.

That's better!

Thanks Brummiejan. Sunday night is always a bit hectic preparing for work etc. The mind is going. Yes indeed, this is the marriage in question.

well I've been digging arund the census for anyone called Teschelert in an attempt to find out where she came from - can find nothing. I agree with you that it sounds German or Austrian

Although she has a birthplace in England, I am struggling to see a birth.
I don't have premium Ancestry membership, but there are these banns - maybe another member might help:

Name: Eveline Elizabeth Teschelert
Spouse: Joseph Edward Dolby
Father: Matthews Teschelert

Marriage: date - city, Middlesex

Thank you ladies, yes it is a bit of an odd one. I have been on IGI and the Records Seach on Genes but there are no Teschelert that I can see. It seems thanks to your digging I have a name of her possible father. My son seems to think it could be AustroPrussian [as it would have been at that time] but it does nothing to help me. In Spitalfields there was the Silk Trade, does anyone know if there was a particular industry in Soho that this family could have come to London to participate in.

1881 census suggest Prussian

Just a lucky search on Ancestry for Eve* Tesch*

Pete

No dont steal my thunder Have a blooming great double on me. That was soooperdooooper. It seems they may have anglicised the names to a certain extent so there would be no records in the spelling that I have.
Well done you. I am very grateful.
