Find Ancestors

hi Catherine,
had a search last night and today on the IGI and the f. Siebel that you specifically mentioned is the only one with the exact year of birth that we have been told, also he is the only one who has no marriage or wedding records listed (all the other F. Siebels have marriage details and their deaths listed)
could this be an indication that he never married or died in Germany so may of left the area or country??

happy hunting if i get anything i will contact you

Don't know how to research in Germany, but the IGI is free to search on:-
familysearch.org

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

this link should take you directly to the page.

In Region :- you just put Germany

but don't forget you don't have any proof, as yet, that this is you family.

hi Lynn has asked this question for me actually (she's my aunty)
thankyou very much this has been a great help, i dont know if you could tell us if there is anymore links to these people on the IGI??
and how would we research them futher, also how would we then start searching forwards to possibly find living relatives of the sister?

once again thankyou this is appreciated :-)

If the IGI turns out to be correct, then this could be a sibling:-

SOPHIE LINA SIEBEL - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 22 MAR 1859 Evangelisch, Schwelm, Westfalen, Preussen
Father: WILHELM SIEBEL
Mother: CAROLINE LANGWIELER


Marriage for this couple:-
WILHELM SIEBEL - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 08 OCT 1858 Evangelisch, Schwelm, Westfalen, Preussen
Spouse: CAROLINE LANGWIELER

Father: PETER SIEBEL
Mother: GERTRUD VESPER

The marriage cert. will give her father's name and occupation. It will also give you the address she was living at at the time of marriage. If you don't have it, then I would buy it quick before the price goes up...........or maybe it already has?

No she didnt lie about her details she was just alot younger than he was.
We dont as of yet know why he stole the ID of Sandford when returning to england.

Oh thankyou so much this is excellent as it matches what we have been told,
Unfortunately we have only started the search today so dont know what occupation he put for his father on the marriage certificate.
Can you possible tell us what the fathers occupation is on the censius??

1911 show she was born:- 1878 Darlington Durham

but if he lied, then did she?

This is the only birth I could find on IGI:-

FRIEDRICH EDUARD SIEBEL - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 04 MAY 1860
Gender: Male Christening: 13 MAY 1860 Evangelisch, Schwelm, Westfalen, Preussen
Father: WILHELM SIEBEL
Mother: CAROLINA LANGWIELER

What name did he give for his father on his marriage cert.

do you have any records or information of where she was from and any other connected family etc that could be added to the tree and possibly help with info about her husband, and who looked after her children when she died?
This is the correct Margaret Sandford we are looking for.

Thankyou,
Yes this is the marriage for Reese Margaret Ann in Darlington to Sandford Frederick Darlington.
This wasnt his real name though as he stole the name Sandford when travelling back to england from america. before he stole the surname sandford he was Seibel

Any idea of the children's names?
