Find Ancestors

What we need now is an exact place of origin for Claus Henrich Dittmer. Do you know where I could look for that?

Thanks for the delving. Do the shipping records give a place of origin? All I need is a village or town name and I will start contacting the local records offices.

although that one is Dittman I note that the majority of Dittmer's do come from the same area

nudging for Wade

Sorry Ann, I haven't got the hang of this message system yet! Thanks to both of you for the information you sent to assist me in my search for the Dittmers.
Best wishes
Wade

I think you mean Ann not Jane !

Thank you Jane for this wealth of data on Dittmers from Hannover. I was intrigued by the Shipping certificate entry for Claus HInrich Dittmer. However, his given age does not correspond with that entered in the 1871 and 1881 censuses. The other Claus HEnrich, b. 28/4/1824 would be a bit closer to the 1827/8 dates that figure in the census returns, but is still at least 3 years out.
My Claus Henrich Dittmer married Miriam Laycock in Dec 1852. His father was given as George (so could be a Juergen), a farmer from Germany. Can you help me narrow down your list? Regards, Wade.
