Hi Joan, Thanks for replying to my message. I have tried and also tried varied suggestions of the info that I have on the Records Office Board, and other G.C researchers have come up with some really outstanding results, - one exceptional one was finding NEUTZELL for WENTZELL, on the 1881 Census, - how GEN from Ealing worked that one out I'll never know !,....Also finding another strain of the family in / from the Greenwich area.........It's the 1850 - 1881 time gap that I am trying to locate them. I'm at the stage of thinking that they were not on any type of registration between these times as I have found / believe them to have been associated with Mechant Shipping / Engineering covering these years, and moved around a bit. The main areas that keep cropping up are Stepney / Hackney / Islington...Liverpool / Birkenhead, Wirral...Newington,Southwark & Deptford / Greenwich between the years of 1800 - 1891. Thanks again for answering my message, Good Hunting, Regards J.C.

Hi John, if you put this request on the Records Office board someone might do look ups in the 1861 census of some of the places you mention. Good luck. Joan

Hi Everyone, I am trying to locate my G / G Grandfather, Alfred Wentzell, b 1854 Wirral, Birkenhead, and his elder brother, Harry b. 1852 ??, Liverpool ?? between the years of 1852 & 1881. One of my family members has a b.c of Alfred and the parents are a James Wentzell / Charlotte Sadler. (We have details off the IGI/LDS site of a J.J.Wentzell b.1816). The only record I have of Alfred + family is from the 1891 Census at Beeson Street, Deptford) It is not any use looking any nearer than that because he emigrated to America in 1896. We have / cannot find any record of him / them from between these 1850 - 1881 years. We know details of a Charlotte Wentzell (nee Sadler b. c1839)passing from us in 1881/2, in Southwark (Guys Hospital) - Also we have a marriage certificate of Alfred in 1879. Any help / assistance much appreciated. Regards J.C. P.S I have kept the above as brief / informative as I could, and their is a lot more (confusion) that I could have added, if any can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
