Hi This is the 1st time I have left a message on genes, not sure if I have left it in correct area tho! Id be really grateful if somebody could give me guidance regarding my grt grt grandfather Emel William Frederick Jager aka William Jager born abt 1865, married 17 Jan 1893, died 8 November 1926 South Shields I was brought up to believe he came to the UK from Germany, however, I have recently found out that he came from Latvia, I feel the only way I can confrm this is through the Alien Documents he signed during WW1, or possibly he became a British Citizen after the war and signed documents for that, not sure where to find these docs though. He doesnt appear on any Census Docs although his wife Hannah Jager appears on 1901 census, it is possible he was away at Sea. The only documents I have seen his name appear on is his marriage certificate which I purchased and unfortunately did not help. Somebody please HELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!! Joanne Clark x

Joanne I have answered you on Tips. For future reference, as you are not to know, it is better to put a message on only one board, as it will be the same people who answer you, whether you post on Tips or Records, and it is less confusing if you only have one thread going. OC
