I hope to enlist the help of you good people again, I am looking for someone on the 1881 censes
Regina Katherina Kuhnle, (though surname is subject to variation and she was often called kate too) she was born 21 Feb 1861 in Germany. hausen neckarkeis Wuerttemburg, she died young leaving three daughters on 17 May 1898 in 29 St George st. London.
Her widowed mother and all her sibblings had left germany and were in st george in the east london in 1881, her sister fredericka was married to Albert Schramm and all the family lived together at the same address....
the mystery is where was Regina?
we know she married in London in 1883 to her first husband (heilmann who died within the year or so as did her twin babies) and is down as living in Limehouse on the banns, but where I have searched like crazy for her under various versions of her name to no avail and manually have searched the entiretly of st george in the east, most of Limehouse and will have to start shadwell soon !...its truly a labour of love isnt it!...if anyone can help I would be glad of it!
Also her second husband whom she married in st george in the east in 1888, jack the ripper year, Peter Christophe Voltmer, born 1851 Germany father heinz or hans a farmer, he died in bow infirmary in 1932 and went to a paupers grave in the city of london cemetery which we discovered last year.
we are trying to find information on his early life in germany and trying to establish his arrival to england. and are trying to fill in the missing years between 1911 and 1932... ironically the address on his death cert is the same address that had been albert and frederikas (his wifes sister and husband) prior to both their deaths in 1928...so we think he remained close to his late wifes family and til the end.
we have pretty much tracked his life from about 1886 as a liscened victualler at the crooked billet st george st, st george in the east, who turned his hand to being a fruiterer briefly in putney, returned briefly to victualling at an unknown pub, when regina died soon after in 1898 his daughters went to a childrens home in roehamption lane putney , where by all accounts they were well cared for and taught a trade, it was not a dickensian style typical home, some mysterious benefactor paid for their keep there, however as far as we know never saw their father again.
After the death of his wife Peter became a dock labourer, and was listed as a retired dock labouerer at the time of his death...again any help would be welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, these were my partners great grand parents, we are at a dead end and would love to find out more.
