With the common surnamr, proximity of location and common trade, there is apossibility that Martin and Andrew are both relatives. Andrew was born Hanover so that could be a good place to start

I have also been looking for George Samuel for a while. I have not found him in 1901. I wondered if perhaps he went back to Germany.
George Tincken 1911 looks promising.

I will PM you Charles to give access to my tree.

this might be of interest re the workhouse

Can't see Claus in the Poplar Union Workhouse records on Ancestry. I checked through the whole quarter in case he was mistranscribed.

Jill

Claus died in the Poplar Workhouse in 1895, and according to one site George was an inmate there in the same year! can't access the record tho!! My sister has given me this mystery to play with while I'm sat with my knee resting post-op and it's given me a headache to go with the sore knee!!!

The only thing I can think of is if you can find out where Claus originated from in Germany, that George may have gone to live and work there ...you might be able to find him in death records for that area?

His siblings were Charlotte 1877 (my brother-in-laws gt gr gran). Ann Elizabeth 1872, we've looked for varients, I've even looked over the pond - it's very frustrating!!
We think Claus was in Germany in 1891, he was a sugar refiner

So dad died in 1895?

Wonder where he was in the 1891?

Jill

This one may not be a connection at all but I'm wondering if they anglicised the name what they might have changed it to?

including a George Tincken....

what were the siblings names ? there are variants on the 1911 census

Any idea how the name was pronounced?

Do you know for sure that he survived after 1891?

Trouble is, with a name like that, he's probably been mistranscribed into something equally weird and wonderful!

Jill

We've hunted and hunted but cannot find, even in darkest Africa, the following gentleman, anyone got any clues?
He was last noted on the 1891 census and then - poof - he vanishes into thin air!!!

George Samuel Tiencken b 1 June 1874 in Bethnal Green, his father was Claus Tiencken b Germany in 1832 and Elizabeth Mary Margetts b1839.
In 1891 he was living with his mum and siblings in London and was a 16 year old ropemaker.
